Bro, in as much as I'm inclined to agree with you that JAMB is now a determinant of people's dreams.


On the contrary, without JAMB, admission will be on the basis of highest bidder and "somebody knows somebody".. However, the system will be so manipulated that only those who have connections will be admitted while those who know nobody have little chances of being admitted, or perhaps, have no chance at all

It will also be a sort of avenue for extortion whereby applicants will be advised to enrol for their exams when they know that the school does not have the capacity to admit them.. In fact, the post UME of many institutions will escalate to minimum of N10, 000


I think the purpose of JAMB Is to regulate the number of applicants every year. Imagine a situation when JAMB is scrapped giving every student an opportunity to apply for his/her choice of institution, the whole system will be congested, corrupted and messed up; admission will no longer me based on merit

I think JAMB is still the best method to control and curb the population of applicants since we have few schools that cannot habour the increasing number of applicants every year


Lastly, aside JAMB being an exam body, do you have an idea of how much is generated annually from applicants ? They certainly will not scrap it bro

firstking01:
my brother na lie...the school you are applying for will have maximum of the candidates they want for that session with regards to their respective departments, think about this....



Moreso, do you know how much some people have spent in this jamb alone?, not to talk of appt test?...which country in the world running tertiary education does that?, that you have to write jamb, write postume?...this is why most parents send their children to study abroad,,,



Talking about congestion, do you have an idea of how many higher institution we have in one state in nigeria, tosyn, i know ekiti have up to five...this issue is undebatable my brother...you talk like say you never see worst things as a student...abegi, make them scrap am

What was your score the first time you wrote jamb?

tosyne2much:
I scored 213 bro

lcoral:
Writing jamb and post ume are all part of d screening exercise. Am sure those without issue won't complain. Scraping jamb and allowing individuals apply to institutions ll thus promote corruption and malpractices.
We all see d malpractice involved even after making d said pume cut-off mark just to get ur course of choice is still a who know man affair. To some extent jamb exam helps to reduce d pressure on d institution.
My advise is who ever is preparing for exams should sit up and serious with preparations and d outcome ll definitely b positive.
Most of us hv siblings preparing for jamb but if we r sincere we can say dat only few truly devout their time for study. Hence, making it difficult to pass d exams.
Those that can afford schooling abroad should do so. I

Art/science?
By the way which course did you studied at UNI?

Bro these are my own reasons why that so called jamb must be banished not even scraped:
*they only need our failure not our success but i pray all jambites will pass
*It was established when schools were few but now many schools
*Jamb aren't trustworthy in terms of admission and lot more i wouldn't like to mention.

firstking01:
then they should make it an instanta admission...so far you 've gotten the cutoff mark, the system will automatically signy that you 've been given a provisional admission...my friend, just think of this strategy and give me feedback??

I'm not in the university but a polytechnic


The JAMB of a thing doesn't really make sense just that they won't scrap it

ArodewilliamsT:
For Christ's sakes, Jamb should be scrapped. It's a total waste of time and parent's funds. Apply to universities online and write their exams, if anyone accepts you, fine.

[b] A friend spent 5 years seeking admission, in the 6th year he got admission into 3 different universities in the United states. I adviced him to sell everything he could and get out as fast as he can. Today he earns $92,500 p.a in the states just 2 years after graduating in the IT industry. God punish nigeria.[/b]

University A has space for 50 law students, 300 people apply for admission and out of the 300, 120 get >= the cut off mark. If the system gives admission automatically, it means the first 50 get the space or you over populate the class.

Pick your poison.

OlujobaSamuel:

the system can also address that.
the result will be arranged according to score. the first 50highest score simply get offer letter for provisional admission.
Remember that all admission letter are provisional till you graduate so it can be revoked at any point in time if it's discovered that you can't cope academically or morally.

firstking01:
Jamb should be scraped...this same jamb kept me @home for 4years and plus before i gained admission...look @the way students are failing jamb because of poor way of conducting the cbt, in most cases the system breaks down in the middle of the exam leaving the candidates helpless..




I 've said it before and i'd repeat...they should scrap jamb, any student that wants admission should go to the institution of his or her choice and obtain their customized form, write their entry exam, if he or she passes then the school should admit the person, if he or she fails, the student should wait for next year.

firstking01:
ofcourse not everybody will hit the cutoff mark, those that couldn't meet up will apply for supplementary

AZeD1:

It means 70 people don't get admission and would have to apply the following year, same scenario with JAMB except that with JAMB you can change your school of choice after seeing your result but there's no way university B would admit you because you passed university A's entrance exam.

OlujobaSamuel:

the options should be increased.
see my previous post. also note that the schools not filled to capacity is due mostly to fee.
If I choose UI, and I checked my score but not good enough, you should know that there is 85% probability that those that beat the cut off for a Lautech is more than the available capacity. Schools that mostly accept students with lower score are private institutions, so how many students can afford such?
My previous comment speaks more on it.

gannycute:
please, were u given calculator and whats the ratio of theoretical questions to calculation question in chemistry and physics. Thanks

AZeD1:

You don't understand the problem.
Total spaces available in Nigerian universities == 500k
Total students appyling for admission == 1.5M

No matter which method you take (Jamb or apply to the school directly) some students who are qualified will not be admitted.

Scrapping Jamb doesn't solve anything, rather it would increase the problems faced because schools can sell admission to the highest bidder.
