Abstract

Paper Pencil Test (PPT) was used to administer UTME to students who choose to
apply to Nigerian public and private mono-technics, colleges of education, polytechnics
and universities by JAMB since its inauguration in 1978. Computer Based Test (CBT)
was introduced in 2014/2015 session in UTME and sine then it has become a thing of
concern to Nigerians as a result of very low computer literacy among students in senior
secondary school. This study evaluated the comparability of PPT and CBT used by
JAMB to administered UTME. The geographical scope is Adamawa south senatorial
zone which includes Guyuk, Numan, Demsa, Lamurde, Mayo-belwa, Shalleng, Ganye,
