Meanwhile, the Registrar of TRCN, Prof. Josiah Ajiboye who confirmed a hitch free examination process from across the various centres nationwide said the council was leveraging on technology for its operations to track quackery in the school system.
Some of the candidates expressed their opinions on the conduct of the examination.
