TESCOM Sets CBT Exam Date for Job Applicants

By Iyabo Adebisi

Oyo State Post Primary School Teaching Service Commission, (TESCOM) has scheduled July 29th to August 2nd for the conduct of computer-based test (CBT) for people who applied for teaching and non-teaching staff of secondary schools in the state.

The Chairman, TESCOM, Pastor Akinade Alamu who disclosed this while speaking with journalists at the TESCOM headquarters in Ibadan said the venue for the exam is the University of Ibadan Distance Learning Centre, Computer Based Testing Centre, Ajibode, Ibadan.

Pastor Alamu while expressing the Commission’s commitment to a credible exercise, noted that date and time for individual applicants can be accessed by applicants through their portals.

He directed all applicants to print copies of their CBT examination schedule and application print-outs, bearing their passports, from the job portal bearing in mind that the two print-outs would admit applicants into the CBT examination hall.

The TESCOM chairman described Governor Seyi Makinde as a lover of education, who saw the vacuum in secondary schools as one that must be filled, despite its recruitment exercise about four years ago.

He maintained that applicants must adhere strictly to the time and date, sent to them, as loitering around the centre would not be condoned.

The TESCOM Chairman stated that successful candidates from the computer-based tests would be required to appear for oral interviews.

Pastor Alamu however said the Commission has made arrangements for applicants, by providing necessities such as tents, chairs, ambulance service and security for a hitch-free exercise. 

He explained that 62,000 applicants scaled the application exercise to qualify for the computer-based tests for the available positions.

Pastor Alamu said 12,000 applicants put in for non-teaching service, while 50,000 applicants applied for teaching service, under TESCOM.
