OmoKhary: seriously?
Lets assume you are jamb,you find out that people are cheating,what will you do?
You can't expect jamb to mark the scripts as if they are marking some secondary school exam,they will be STRICT.
Don.t blame Jamb alone for this mess,blame our parents for being sooo jobless to register us in special centres,the students for being so narrow minded enough to want to cheat.
We can't defend or sue jamb when we know we'll lose because when the majority cheats then everybody cheats.

booqee: i think jamb failed them purposely so having to admit only 500,000 students will be justified. Anyway what i think the FG should do is build more universities. Nigeria has money..that one is for sure..but they'd rather spend it on useless things and embezzle the rest. Lets them build more universities so they'll be more space for prospective undergraduates. It isn't bad if each state of the federation has at least five federal universities each, nigeria's population is already high..and yes nigeria has more than enough money for dat.

chiwuike20: I tend to agree wit u to a certain degree, but I think Jamb don't fail people, they apply d method of nagative marking due to d level of competition @ hand. This also affects those who score above 300. If they use simplified marking method, and someone who scored 160 was able to score 200, then those who scored 300 will score 340, still making a chasm wider. Moreover, those who scored 130, who'll score 170 if d simplified method is introduced, will inevitably fill d dissatisfied position to cry foul play.

olamy7: Na God go punish anybody wey tel me say i no read 4 dis Jamb cuz i denied mai self alot.despite al mai tutor,despite nt less dan 5hrs i invested on readin, after finishing tutorial 4rm 1 2 6 nd despite aw i denied mai self wen i suppose 2 slip.despite al mai prayer concernin dis exam.stil yet dibu nd al his frdz awarded me wit 194.despite d fact dat dis year jamb is 2 simple.dhey ar putin me into sorrow naw,i should score notin less dan 280 but dhey gave me 194.i cnt course u o cuz mai success is nt in yur hand.but 2 dose wu ar sayin we didn't prepare,God wil punish you al cuz u ar jst annoying me as i am viewing ur commentz.am fed up !

ekwah:


I don't mean to be rude sir, but I am pretty sure you you will acknowledge the fact that more students have become less hardworking in their studies because most Nigerian teachers aid them in different external exams malpractices. This of course doesn't mean there are no hardworking students out there.This is the point I am trying to make:

Long term exam malpractices => lower overall student study-drive => poor performance on exams. Please don't try to blame the GRADERs of an exam as the reason for students' poor performances! As far as I am concerned, if one uses the right approach to prepare for Jamb, it becomes as simple as A B C. Daz all.

Bryoka:

I beg to disagree. Every eligible candidate should be given the opportunity to apply. Students these days don't read oooh. What happens ds days is get engaged with social networks, go thru past questions in split seconds, then start fasting and prayer 3 days b4 exams. My frnds, there is nothing like little effort and big success. Only fools run away with that mentality. Its very unfortunate that this yr's result was poor,but kids of today are in trouble.

mathefaro:
Lyk I said earlier, this year's utme wasn't a matter of how a candidate prepares because the questions were so cheap and students all came home after the exam celebrating because they were sure of what they did(after months of thorough preparation) which I confirmed, only to see something different in their result. So what are you saying? I can stand for my students any day, anytime. Let jamb produce their jamb scripts and prove how these ridiculous results came to be.

jutino: u are not alone on dis my two younger sis who sat for d exam also have been crying dier eyes out since yesterday,d way dey prepared for dis exam is like dey are gonna score 300 dey read frm morning till night even up to d extent of waking up at d middle of d night to read but dey where dissapointed wit d result.dis was d same kids who scored 260 last year jamb nd 70 on post ume but where nt giving admission to study in d school of dier choice which is uniben..

ola_pluto:
I do not know your qualifications as a teacher, but I think it is rather unintelligent to vouch for a student you didnt sit the exam with. No teacher does that! No sensible teacher at least. I passed through a university where integrity is guarded. I had times I left exam hall waiting for a 90% only to see 55%. When I ask for the photocopy of my scripts and go through it, I see tiny, silly mistakes which have caused me to be marked down.
A teacher like you should be at the forefront of guiding students to start preparing for next year Jamb. You will be heavily humiliated if you keep vouching for students this way. You're probably one of those thinly breaded teachers responsible for this mass failure.

chiwuike20: This is a poorly framed-up lies being told here. 260 and 70 in jamb and uniben without getting admitted, is pure garbage. I cousin scored below dis cut-off marks and is presently studying law @ uniben. People lay much emphasis on their last year's score, who knws, most of them cheated and got away wit it, but were apprehended dis year. My sis was lucky to get away wit hers last year by being admitted wit anoda runsing @ unizik

viccipedia: if you say a teacher cannot vouch for his student that is like saying a father cannot vouch for his son... dnt see any point in wat u hav said

ola_pluto:
Vouching for exam result is not within the teacher's duty. His duty is to teach and teach well. What happens when the student faces the question is between the student and the paper only! JAMB I know contains a lot of very tricky questions set to catch out unsuspecting students. How a teacher can vouch for a student shading the right answer is beyond me.

viccipedia: ur still not making sense... the candidates did not leave their question papers in d hall did they? I see no reason y a student will mark 1 tin on d question paper and then shade another on d o.m.r bro the truth be told... a teacher that is close to a student am not talking about d classroom relationship, will know the students strenght even better than the parents

koonbey: all the People on here posting asinine comments about social networks and unpreparedness;all i have to say to you is that I pray one day you will be in my shoes and understand how it feels;I deleted 2go on my phone like 10 weeks ago,refused to subscribe on my modem or said phone so as to be able to concentrate,no facebook,or twitter...I attended lesson regularly even though it wasn't comfortable,read and read,and then read some more. I refused to accept any questions prior to the Exam simply because I didn't feel i needed it(i am an A student)...traveled to write the Exam,did so excellently;only to check my result and find 207,I had to check my name like twice to be sure that was my result(I had marked myself on my question Paper and what I expected to Score was above 300). Based on what i have seen in my own case and that of other colleagues whom i know where not involved in any form of Malpractice;i believe that for reasons best known to them(I don't want to speculate),JAMB is undermining the already declining the reading culture among the Youth by giving them the Impression that it doesn't matter what they write;some retard at JAMB office will simply click RANDOM on their results and give them just anything.

Umartins1: Aaaaaah! Oh my God!! There're bunch of unfortunate beings here. How dare you say we cheated? How dare you say we were not prepared? Aaaaaah! When will Nigeria be good? Why can't ppl hold to the truth? The results were manipulated-marks were just awarded at random. Which kind of marking guide was used that will make me score 45in Maths and 174 as aggregate? This is the simplest Utme so far! We were robbed by JAMB in the broad day light? Who are the unfortunate ppl that are saying we didn't read and studied enough? Aish! I can't decry my as I want on here. I am ready to prove it anywhere, anyhow that I worth more than this. I'm ready to combat Dibu on this! Can someone help me to get to him? 1.7million ppl cannot cheat!! 1.7million students can't go into exam hall UNPREPARED!! This is pure robbery. We were denied of our rights. Nigeria can never be better, Dibu and his unborn generations shall live in eternal sadness. Even if he's rich now, his wealth shall perish in his lifetime. This curse won't work if only we were given what we deserved. This curse won't work if there's no God! Many students have lost their lives, many future leaders and pride of their mothers have gone to the heaven above prematurely. Isn't it this same JAMB I've been writing since 4 years ago? If my claims against Dibu is false, may I never succeed in life!!! The God that saved Daniel from the den of Lions will surely lead us in this battle!!!

No. You're not a thoughtful person. Its not my fault that you cannot reason along. You probably havent done as much exams as I've done. Exams like JAMB cannot be generic. They need to be able to catch out even the most brilliant students. The questions may be presented as easy, but trust me, there's a catch in every question. Only the gifted will spot it. Those gifted ones get high marks. The ones who are not reasonable will not spot it and come out of exam hall making noise how easy the exam is. Even from this thread, many of you guys have shown very little understanding of simple lines of thoughts, talk-less of a JAMB paper set by experienced uni lecturers who specialise in picking out what students dont know.

chiwuike20: . U lay curse on urself because of d disappoint of present, 4geting about d future. What if u really didn't pass according to d method of marking? Dat means ur life life will have no meaning. I pray dat God don't heed to ur prayers, because u may be a man on d streets. God forbid

Kruzilano: Bt many of the candidate 4 dis year prepared very hard than last year bt dy passed beta last year......though d mal practise came....u also shld knw dat it was encouraged by many centres...dia r speculations that100 marks were reducted 4 most candid8 score

mathefaro: After going through the 10 pages of this thread, I've seen how hypocritical people can be. Although it's quite obvious that the rate at which students now study is nowhere near what it used to be but I'm very sure most of you who claim you spent all day studying without any distraction such as the social media would do more than what these guys are doing cos you probably might not get up to 150. Apparently, this year's utme wasn't based on student's performances at all but criteria best known to jamb alone. My students all studied which I can testify to, but . we're still given unjustified marks. So please stop saying the mass failure was due to laziness, unseriousness or addiction to social networks. I pray God console those of you that fall victim of this mysterious nd wicked act.

peddy231: JAMB withheld my result three times consecutively but i still trudged on till the final one i wrote was released so my advice is that anyone that has been disappointed by JAMB this year should cheer up and have the mindset that every disappointment is a blessing and see this situation as a stepping stone for great success eventually.......

Jamesbrian: I guess some of us dnt really get it. Those dat dnt have relationship of any form wit jamb dis yr ar d ones talking diz shits. Anyway, u cn talk ur shit again nd again, bt knw it, u ar far frm d truth ...at least to an extent. I cnt [b]equivocally [/b]vouch for evryone, bt at least i cn talk for my own self. I started as early as december to do [b]an intensive studies[/b]. I denied myself of many personal pleasures jst to make dis jamb pay. I bought all d necessary books nd made sure dat i studied dem frm cover to back again nd again, stoppd a lot of things i wz used to nd worst of all became so distant to ma frnds. My coaches attested to my good works whn i came back afta d xams nd we went tru d answers togeda. Bt afta all ma efforts nd self denial, wht do hv to show for it? #sobs#. Some of d points u guys made here are pretty gud bt i think there is an untold story here, there is more, which only jamb itself cn address. I'm jst so fuckin' depressed here. I got 215 bt applied for MBBS ...UNN. If u cn jst help out or hv any reasonable thing to say to me jst do it fast before i collapse.

ferdimako:

You better change it to a less competitive major.

Umartins1: but, what IF JAMB realise the error and re-mark the slips and we are given our rightful scores, what should we do to those alleging us of inadequate preparations?

plus,

was there any year with this kind of protest?
