I really don't get this, I applied for FUTO to study computer science, I checked the schools website to discover my name wasn't on the list. Then I re-printed my JAMB result slip and it still says FUTO, how do I know where I was re-posted to?

I support it o. The numbers are outrageous. I no the country isn't safe but parents should allow their children explore especially yoruba parents. Hardly would u see a yoruba jambite going to any school outside the south west! We cannot all go to Unilag or ife or uni Zik. Its just like this new nysc scheme. Students should not be allowed to choose where they want to serve. Students should not be posted to the north but can be posted to different regions. students did not choose where they want to serve yet lagos Abuja ph were crowded so much that I heard some lagos corpers could not camp in lagos and we're transferred to oyo. What is that?. Imagine now that corpers can choose? This country sef, I don't no who initiates all this worthless laws.

"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.

This is the typical Nigerian leadership way of doing things - placing the cart before the horse. You are changing the rules in the middle of the game. What is the rationale for doing that? You claim you are trying to help the students. Will that help, include paying their school fees?

Many of the private universities do not have candidates applying to them. What they do is to approach JAMB and get names of candidates and send them admission letters. Other even advertised on the media for interested candidates to apply.
I get your point tho,but what if the alternative school they wanna try have concluded their postume and admission arrangements? Or do you expect them to be waiting for students to be rejected by another school after months of admission processing before they conclude their own admission too? Mind you, state universities and even other new federal unis are the likely recipients of these rejected students and not private unis alone as people make it out to be.

JAMB, the best thing you would have done is to have given the universities a time limit to admit their students normally, then candidates who have missed out from the initial admission process will then be advised or encouraged to apply to those with low intakes or shortfalls.

This would have been more humane.

Kennedyiheme:
what are you saying? So students shld not choose institution they want? Where is it done in the world? Were the education ministry chooses schools for students? Where? Don't blame students blame nigerian government and just with there useless setting. If all the states in nigeria had good amenities, good roads, just everything that makes life sweet, do u tink students won't go? Will u advice ur broda or sister to go to university of maiduguri? Hell no, will ojerinde pay the school fee the private universities demand? If they knew they wanted to do something like this why did they sell change of course form? U see that jamb is a useless setup...where in the world have you heard anything like jamb? In the western world once you are done with secondary school, u get into university straight, no writting any dumb examination tht wld put u at home for anoda one year. It is as a result of jamb that people stay home for 8yrs . For wht na? With all this rigidity nigerian univerities arnt even in top 1000....total waste
