You are using internet to check structure of grammar and language? Oya ask ChatGPT. JAMB was wrong. If JAMB did not add "and" to the sentence, it would have been correct.

When you are correcting someone with a wrong punctuation; one should not use more than one exclamation mark'!'. BEGIN! not BEGIN!!

Kate Henshaw has corrected the t issions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) over a grammatical error on X.


The examination board made the mistake while responding to politician Peter Obi's claim that young issions seeker were made to leave home in the dark to write the university entrance exams as early as 6:00am.


Responding via its official X , JAMB wrote partly : "@PeterObi, Your Excellency,
I must assert that our examination is scheduled to commence at 8:00am, not 6:00 am. While verification and other clearance processes begins at 6:30am , it is imperative that candidates are afforded adequate time to settle in before the exam begins."



Kate Henshaw then corrected JAMB, writing: By the way @JAMBHQ


It's not 'while verification and other clearance processes BEGINS'


It is 'while verification and other clearance processes BEGIN!!' I had all my education in this country. It was never this bad.."

JAMB is wrong. Processes begin not processes begins. The word "Processes" is a plural noun.

They are correct, Kate is wrong

Stop embarrassing yourself na...!

Didn't you see the fullstop after "Examination"?!!

"While" started as a new sentence.

The new subject is plural, hence should not have been followed by "Begins".


You should have paid more attention during English lessons.


Swallow your pride, and accept that you and the useless JAMB erred.

JAMB is correct.
"Processes" is a plural noun and should be used with a plural verb.
"Begins" is a singular verb, while "begin" is the plural form.

JAMB is wrong, but for you to do research and still be wrong, I fear for your future. grin

Btw, so Oga Peter is so idle that even when two women fought in the next building he’s to comment! President Tinubu should give this man an ambassadorial position as least to keep him busy till the next election.
