Xtremely Coded: Cancellation Of 2nd Choice Option In Jamb UTME 2014 – What Do You Think Is the Reason Behind?

As you all are aware, JAMB has Cancelled the 2nd Choice Option for UTME 2014, This means that you can only Choose 1 University, 1 Polytechnic & 1 College of Education, No more Second Choice.

From my Observation, JAMB even went as Far as not allowing Student to Change their Institution as it used to be.

This will really slim down the Number of Admission Space in all Tertiary Institution in 2014.

What do you think is the Reason for JAMB to Take such Decision & how do you think it {will go}?




EDIT:-
i dy feel on top the world baba give me grace..........thanks to God oga seun,my moderators.........makinq frontpage dix first day of the year...........i climb on top aso rock dy dance *skelewu*

Well, here is what one needs to do.

1.Start studing earlier for JAMB.....at least 9 months previously before the exam.

2.Start solving as many past questions as possible.

3.Don't wait for EXPO. Take it from me...you do not need to go into the exam hall with the answers in your hand if you have read well enough.

4.If you get admitted into a college of education or poly...don't scream.....use this lemon to make lemonade. Make the best of your polytechnic experience.(My uncle went to Polytechnic...and became a successful accountant).

Angelstartups: The idea of first choice or second choice needs to be abolished.Candidates should be given the opportunity to select even upto 3 options per institution type,without depicting which is first choice,second or third choice.That way the institutions will receive scores of all the candidates that picked them and take it from there to select top candidates based on merit.
In developed climes,SAT or TOEFL or UCAS (UK) doesn't ask for first choice or second choice or third choice,they allow you select the schools that interest you.In fact,you can still forward your scores to other schools after the exams.Nigeria should take a cue from this and stop limiting Nigerians from been educated.


Awesome, dis fellow nairalander, said all dt ws on my mind, i think jamb is inconsiderate here, are d unis,polys and colleges complaining, i fink d problem wit most agencies in naija is dt, dey fink dier hatched policies for nigerians are automatically correct.

How about you make this JAMB just be like a normal Exam one can take and then he can apply to any school he wishes , you know like sane countries do. While other Countries are trying to ease getting Education for their students this country just wants to make it even harder for everyone.

In my own point of view, I think this is a good idea. most schools neva consider 2nd choice candidate for admission, they only use their post jamb money to beautify the school.

Olril18:
for me,its a controversial descision..
the truth is, admission opportunities will now be limited,no matter how u look at it.....now federal schs will undoubtedly be getting the highest percentage of candidates,but u forgot spaces are limited,(imagine 100,000 candidates choosing a federal sch,in which only 5000,will be offered admission..)most of those candidates who will miss out on admission in this federal schs,can still enter university through the state universities they choosed as second choice candidates....
,
even state uni, dnt wana b. Put as 2nd choice

Actually, I think the decision made is great. Most students who fill in for UTME do so blindly and might end up picking two different Federal schools as first and second choices and the thing with these schools these days is that they rarely consider people picking 'em as first choice, so we're left with the question of "What's the use of the option if its not viable?". Just my opinion, though..

so aboard certificate means automatic employment for your village abi. Abeg park well with this your cheaper lie ordinary flight ticket to UK will pay for four years program in most federal uni in Nigeria.
To topic this just another senseless policy. Admission will soon be more difficult than getting a job with this silly policy.

this means more aspirants less schools, u might even see 150,000 aspirants for one university. I just gained adm and i wrote together with 78,000 other people.
This fight of the fittest is really tight. But i must say .i hate jamb

Archmed: This is a right step in the right direction as schools hitherto chosen as ''Second Choice'' NEVER REALLY consider candidates for admission placements.


well said my brother. U dont expect uniben or OAU to consider a candidate for second choice

Gaskiya this is not fair,even though i am done with jamb,but i pity the students who are yet to write thier own,the second choice is really helping the students and it also give you double alternative so that you can not put your egg in one basket

The Joint Admission and Matriculation board (popularly known as JAMB) has made it clear that for the 2014 UTME Biometrics, only DIGITAL PERSONA scanner will be allowed for finger prints capture.

All candidates should note that JAMB has accredited registration centers all over Nigeria.
These centres have been stipulated not to charge more than N700 from candidates for registration. This amount of N700 includes printing of 2 copies of your e-slip.

Do your jamb registration with biometric fingerprint at MEGATEK COMPUTERS
