Revsola: In my opinion;the students failed because their RUNS failed.The type "answers" they were given was wrong...they went ahead to fill the wrong type and the answers not knowing that JAMB has computerized each student and the type given to them!

Apart,a lot of students(not all)do not study enough...you can see them chatting on 2Go even while reading!

12 inches!:
I have read most of the post so I guess it's time to make my comment. If the results are generally low, then we cn assume that pple like finest boy will still make admission with 208 since jamb is jst the first stage and there is still post UME. I know of a particular year where to people I knw well made Medicine in UCH with 250 and this was before the post UME came. Normally, you will require like 285 and above to make medicine in UCH then. So what I'm saying in essence is this. Let the candidates that are hardworking and are not willing to use expo clamour for a free and fair jamb exam whatever their scores may be because in the end it doesn't matter. Just imagine all the good slots lost to lazy expo seeking students who cheat and get 280, 290 etc. I think it has come to a stage where universities should conduct their own exams. In fact, Jamb should be entirely scrapped. This will put the responsibility of applicants selection on the university. And if they like, they should select dull students who don't know jack just because they have connections. The effect will tell on the pedigree of their school. What we just need for this system is a governing body. That is all. Students apply directly to the school they want to go and those schools test the candidates and make selection.

Mr. Rooney! If students passed, cutoff comes into play. If they had average of 200, they'd be lookin forward to the next step whch is postjamb whch we all know has absolute power in selecting students. In this case, JAMB didn't allow the students pass cos of the capacity issue at our schools. U're so right about what u said but if u've not heard (either rumor or not), it was recorded that JAMB marked students down by 100scores, this was discovered when aggrieved students stormed JAMB office in Lag. See bro, its not the issue of havin 200 or more, or even less, the issue is with the state of infrastructure in our schools.

Originalsly: This quote is because many share this opinion.I don't when it comes to the point at issue...mass failure of students.The reasons OP gave for the mass failure were reasons that existed in 2012 and before. Why were there not mass failures then? Why suddenly in 2013? Common sense should tell us that if the majority of students were not computer literate and were required to do the exam on computer then the results would not be good.The JAMB board is clearly the cause of this disaster and need to be fired. Who knows what they have in mind for 2014...JAMB questions in Yoruba?...or Igbo?....or Hausa?....or German?...pidgin? Whatever they may choose...some people will still lay all the blame on the students.

odibenson: I pittyy some lunatics on nairaland sayinn doo many thrash abt candidate not readin at all.if uu shud recall dibu came out to sayyy we could check the result @myjambresult.com but up till now dat site aint workingg.secondlyy he said there were remarkable increase in the generall performance wen compared to last yrrrrrrr.the question is how is dis truuu,never ave i seen a jambb student scoring 106 146 123 73 79 but thiss yrrr was clearlyy evident.thirdlyy for the science student wen i glassed thru the biologyy question it was just tooo easyyyy i concluded in my mind dat an average student cann score 60-70 while a very brillaint student can score 100.the question were cheappp.to my greatest surprisee i saw people coring scoring 28 45 36 33 55 though some very vey people got 73 65 if u thing amm lying visit nairalan forum on jamb result checker and seee.pls plss dibuuu shud go and askk himself question on wat realyyy happened was the machine use for marking was free frmm errors or are dey assumimg 1.2 million peopl were involved in malpractice?.dibuuu pls put ur thinking cap back onn

ujchief:

My thoughts exactly! The computer based will take place next month or so and the reps are whining that it was the cause. Ignorance in 3-D.

It is not a new development that our students are performing woefully. WAEC and NECO have been complaining about it for ages now!

What do the reps aim at achieving? Are they insinuating that JAMB had technical difficulties or that there was a mistake somewhere?

The level of education in our country is sinking lower and lower each year. Students travel far and wide to sit for external exams, why? Because they depend on expo. That is why more than 50% changed their question type inside the exam.

acidtalk:


Am I the cause of your failure? Or did they tell you I worked in jamb or resemble the computer that marked your exam sheet$

When your mates were reading, you were busy down fine girl painting your big head and following those small boys all over the street. Now you are crying foul.


You better go and learn hair dressing or sewing. You are too dull to pass jamb. Well if you think you can sha, you are on your own as your people have told you earlier, they can't keep giving you money to buy jamb form. Most of your mates are already PH.D Holders.

Symphony007: hey stop saying rubbish! Do you even think? If you or any member of your farmily was affected by this you won't be vomiting this rubbish! I know of a friend who has written jamb twice with his own knowledge without malpractise. Last year he scored 240 and this year it's 180 when he belives he even did better than last year. Over 15,000 students results are being witheld due to no biometric identification when jamb did'nt send the computer to some centers, some had low batteries,some were'nt even connecting with the server, you'll also blame the dull students for that?

Some Students who wrote art subjects english,government,literature and crk and checking their results and seeing,english,chemisty,physics,maths result and vice versal, you'll also blame the "olodo student's" for this. Tjamb this year just conducted a shambolic excuse of my exan after ripping of student of over 6,000 for registration and condeming scores to wasting a year at home..this is a problem. It's disgusting and wrong, if they can't handle big exams and be able single out the corrupt students from the innocent rather than declaring mass failure, they should bugger off and allow universities conduct their individual entry exams. Where there will be less beurucracy and population to carter to. Your comment was most shamefull, you and the other 20 hillbillies that liked your post are greatly myopic!!

markemordi: All these people talkking about student dont read.student do read but do u people like u dis country cant move forward.u guys should get a job.jobless people dat dont have postive things for dis nation.even d so called parents dat cant even read dat r in high postion in d government go and advise dem nt us

chiwuike20: just as children blame their parents 4 not being somebody in life, we blame dibu 4 our failures. We 4get dat parent progressed in life without having a sponsor. Its high time we woke up to taking responsibilities, especially when it comes to d outcome of our action. I've observed dat most of d people who complain r secondary sch leaving student who mostly read essential textbooks in preparation 4 an A'level exam like Jamb. I think d people who spur students into complaining instead of accepting responsibility r teachers. They succeed in convincing student dat jamb is no big deal and if they attend their personal coaching classes they'll excel, even score above 300. I want to challenge teachers who claim dat jamb questions r cheap to write jamb to prove their claim. Probably they'll score above 300 since its dat cheap. Students shud stop wasting their energy complaining, instead, redirect it to qualitative study to guard against further failure

cheleku:

They have their reputation to protect...you wouldnt want over 50 percent of the candidates scoring above 300; would you?
With the massive malpractice that occoured, I have every reason to believe that Jamb deducted scores. Too many bright students I know perfomed horribly. Its no coincidence!
My problem is that innocent students were punished for a crime thay didnt partake in.

chiwuike20: If u fail to tell ur affected jambite to buckle up next in order to pass, u'll end up making dem permanent olodos. Its high time adults take up responsibilities and stop whining. D only time an educational body made progress in curbing exam malpractice, we criticize it negatively instead of giving kudos. Sickly people
