Fed Poly Ede notice on use of mobile phones for Computer Based Examination

As part of our drives towards the development of technical and innovative ideas through the adoption of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) tools for practical problem solving the Management of the Federal Polytechnic Ede has considered the use of mobile for the conduct and administration of Computer-Based Examinations (CBE),

Mobile phones have become an integral part of our lives and are becoming increasingly capable of performing a wide range of tasks, including those that are traditionally performed by computers.

Therefore, the underlisted CBT Examinations have been scheduled to be delivered on Android Mobile phones so as to augment the traditional method.
