House Of Reps Orders JAMB To Revert To Paper-pencil Test

The agitations from candidates may have started yielding fruits as the House of Representatives has asked the Federal Ministry of Education to direct the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) to revert to pencil-paper method in the conduct of UTME or adopt both PPT and CBT so that candidates can opt for any one of their choice.
This followed a motion moved by a lawmaker from Lagos State, Mr. Oghene Emma-Egoh, on the “conflicting” scores of candidates who took the examination.
The law maker stressed that the technical errors experiences during the examination has invariably dashed the hopes of many of these candidates in gaining admission this year.
The law maker further pointed to two cases of conflicting results. One is that of Ibrahim Shawulu from Kogi State, who was said to have scored 399 out of 400, and in less than 24 hours his score was reduced to 199.”
Another is that of Foluke, the 17-year-old girl in Ejigbo-Lagos, who scored an aggregate of 156 and when the result was checked again she had an aggregate of 196.”
Based on these and other technical flaws that marred the conduct of the 2016 UTME, the house of Representatives is of the opinion that JAMB does not have what it takes to manage the Computer Based Test.

i support your motion.

JAMB means nothing because after all the strugles the university still sits for another exam and not only that. Schools does not obey JAMB‘s admission list.

JAMB should bethrown away

And we say we want to be like them.



Rubbish.
Idan Bera Nada Sata Daddawa Nada Wari.

Lies, Jamb go cum bribe them soon

Jamb shud b scraped i guess

good news

we ain't agitating for this though. All we need is our real scores for this years utme.


on bringing back the paper and pencil test(PPT) I don't think it's a welcome development. They should think of how to improve on the computer based test(CBT),to avoid a repetition of the poorly conducted utme2016.

I suggest ss4 to replace jamb my opinionI suggest ss4 to replace jamb my opinionI suggest ss4 to replace jamb my opinion

This is not what we want.Something should be done about this year utme first.

how come the "law maker" didn't get their fact right, Ibrahim from kogi aired it online that he edited his JAMB result just to play pranks on his friends, so how come the law makers claim that his mark was reduced.

Yaaaayyy....ayam so happy about this. Thank you ooooo.

It's [size=15pt]LadyF[/size] again

Belated CBT was a misadventure maybe in 10 years time

Yes, that is good. JAMB is premature for CB test. When they are ready for CBT people will know

Issokay

My cUntry like to be so 1956

It's been Jamb, P square, Cleavage and Snakes on Nairaland.

I think that's just the best, this CBT of a thing wasn't well planned out, great decision from the Reps

Here we go again. What a confused nation!

Good

This regime sha.......




EFFRITIN HAF CHANGE.

Backward movement

The implications of this far-reaching decision cannot be over-emphasised.

What happens to those that had been affected by the CBT, whether positively or negatively.?

Global best practices and developed countries are switching completely to ICT driven economy and industries. Yet in our own obodo Nigeria we cannot effectively conduct examinations online.

What a country!

Jamb should be cancelled

Walahi Jamb and Senate are on high Aro weed!

That is not what jambites are asking for!

Back to square one.

I need fuel

Scrap JAMB.

Jamb Awon Werey.
