Jamb Boss Dibu Ojerinde Statements On The New Jamb Policy by Dammielog(m): 10:21pm On Jul 25, 2015 |
"Father forgive them, for they know not what they are
saying for now”. This was the response from the JAMB
boss Professor Dibu Ojerinde while reacting to the recent
uproar over the list of eligible candidates sent to
institutions.
According To him, the reason behind this new admission
policy is to help candidates not only get admission but
get it on time.
Below are excerpts of the exact words of the JAMB
Boss;
The big universities are overloaded. Can you imagine 8,000
students seeking for admission to study law in a university
that will take only 250 candidates for law! The remaining
7750 candidates will wait endlessly and hopelessly till the end
of the admission.
Or imagine 7500 candidates seeking for medicine in a
university. Of these 7500 candidates, 2000 scored above 250
in the UTME. The university has a carrying capacity of only
150 candidates for medicine. The remaining 7350 who scored
above 200 will be wasted. Particularly, 1750 candidates who
scored above 250 will be wasted while other universities
either do not have enough candidates or high scoring
candidates.
Courses like Biological Sciences, Agric Engineering and
related courses are lacking in candidacy!
We are saying, let's give them a feel of chance somewhere
else that has not gotten enough candidates by sending the
names of these HIGH scorers to "needy" universities.
The names of such surplus candidates are being distributed to
first Federal institutions, then State and finally Private
institutions in that order depending on:
• Availability of space in other universities,
• Choice of the course of the candidate,
• The geographical Zone of the choice of the candidate, and
• Performance of the candidate.
By this approach, wastage of HIGH scores will be reduced,
the fate of the candidates will be determined on time and yet
the interest of their areas of study may be satisfied.
addition, the concept of selection by
• Merit,
• Catchment Area, and
• Educationally Less Developed States
Will be adequately catered for.
However, I am not saying that everyone will get admission or
even get their original choice of course of study. But it is
better than wasting the time, finances, and good scores of
these candidates. We need to fill the available spaces as
given to us by the regulatory bodies like NUC, NBTE, and
NCCE.
If, however, a candidate does not want the given opportunity,
it is too "baaaad".
This scenario was made clear to the institutions during the
Policy meeting that took place on 14th July this year in Abuja.
Before the Policy meeting, we had discussions with the
representatives of the Federal, State, and Private universities
where the degree of the problems of candidates were
presented and solutions were proffered. These decisions were
backed up by copious statistics of applications to various
universities.
Again “Father forgive them, for they know not what they are
saying"
I believe that some so- called educational consultants have
some hidden agenda which are being thwarted by our
proactive steps. Let them know that this is a period of
CHANGE. If they do not CHANGE they will be CHANGED. cc lalasticlala |
