JAMB: VC Advises On Scrapping Of Post UTME by seunlly(m): 1:23am On Nov 30, 2016
Prof. Olurotimi Ajayi, the
Vice-Chancellor, Crawford
University, Igbesa, Ogun, on
Tuesday called on the
Federal Government to
review its cancellation of
the Post-Unified Tertiary
Matriculation Examinations
(post-UTME).
Ajayi told the News Agency of
Nigeria (NAN) in Lagos that the
cancellation of the Post-UTME and
its subsequent replacement with
screening might not help the
university system.
The Federal Government had on June 1, scrapped the
Post-UTME for candidates seeking admission into higher
institutions.
The Minister of Education, Malam Adamu Adamu, said
that there was no need for another examination to be
conducted by universities after the Joint Admissions
and Matriculation Board (JAMB) examinations.
“The whole idea of the Post-UTME examinations is not
about money generation but about standards.
“Over time, the examinations have shown that intending
students that claimed JAMB marks cannot defend those
marks, which is not the fault of JAMB.
“Some of the students that had high JAMB scores
cannot even pass a simple test conducted by the
universities.
“The test is for the students to prove their ability, to
repeat their feat at the JAMB examinations,’’ Ajayi
said.
He said it was in the interest of institutions, students
as well as the nation for the Federal Government to
reverse its stance on the post-UTME.
The vice-chancellor added that the Post-UTME should be
seen as a type of quality assurance on the part of
universities.
Ajayi said the decision of the Federal Government to fix
a price ceiling for the Post-UTME screening on behalf
of all universities was high-handed.
According to him, the government’s price ceiling will
have a ripple effect on private universities.
The vice-chancellor said that only universities funded by
the government could sustain that ceiling.
“The government coming out to fix the price of our
Post-UTME at just N2,500 seems high-handed because
private universities are not receiving subventions from
the government.
“Some of the parents sending their children to the
private universities already know they will have to pay
more than what is obtainable in the public universities.
“It is unseemly for universities to be controlled by the
government, they are supposed to be governed and
regulated by their councils.
“Although we will comply with the directive, but we are
not very satisfied with it as it seems like a burden.’’
Ajayi said that the Committee of Vice-Chancellors were
already looking at various ways to help the government
realise the implications of its decisions on the nation’s
university system.
He said the committee would soon make its stand on
the plight of universities’ public.

Re: JAMB: VC Advises On Scrapping Of Post UTME by Nobody: 6:57am On Nov 30, 2016
Post-utme is irrelevant if they can standardize the UTME.

In some schools, the admission of any student that scores below 1.5 cgpa in his/her first semester is forfeited. That's a better measure of standard than extorting astronomical fees in the name of Post utme.

JAMB is not a trustworthy means of testing candidates. Most of these guys cheat their way through JAMB and fail PostUTME miserably.

When PostUTME was introduced in OAU, dropout rate reduced drastically as it helped to separate the wheat from the chaff. Now you can cheat your way through JAMB and WAEC and then gain admission.

I don't know why we still have Jamb?

That office should be scrapped and let there be only screening done by the universities. If you fail to get the required score to gain an admission into UNN, try NAU or vice versa.

Without doubt the standard of JAMB has declined recently but we shouldn't be using the old approach to follow things of creating something else because the first is not performing well and yet not able to scrap it. Students can't be writing two exams to get admission into a university, the right thing to do is to strengthen JAMB. End of discussion

I agree with this. Totally. Since this trash affected me... People who got lucky in jamb gained admission for law in aaua. I'm here doing change of course even tho i knew 240/250 of the question jamb set through rigorous reading.

When I saw the low jamb score, i said 'well, p.utme will be fair. I'll prepare for that too and use it to show I meant bussiness'' ........ Then they scrapped it and I'm here using a low unfair jamb score to process admission.

Restore p.utme. Jamb is not reliable as a body. They've failed as far as I'm concerned

Not exactly. The man made really good points.

What's the point of the 'screening exercise' if JAMB is sufficient for admission?
Why should a prospective candidate pay #2500 for what's not an exam? Paying #2500 for someone to look through his O' Level? That's unjust.

bros don't say that oh. Should et be free? Or eez et their parents that would look through the 0'level. #2500 is not too bad compared to 5k or 10k writing the exam and still failing then you loose at both ends.

I'm surprised at some people's comments....the education system is just getting worse day by day. Instead of scrapping Post UTME, Y not reduce it to just 1k or less, if not even free...then let's see what happens.
The government is just hiding under the price factor...no solid reasons for cancelling it.

Prof is crying for d money he's not making now because of d scrap of post-UTME. Sir,the people conducting the post utme in ur university are no different Nigerians immune against corruption that may have bedevilled JAMB( based on ur claim abt JAMB) Surest way is to use their first yr cgpa to judge who stays or leaves,except if u r not sure of ur lectures. Let's stop all these extortion of Nigerians because of failed government. Go and see what parents are suffering at Nursery, primary n secondary sch levels all in d name of private school. Prof I feel ur concern,but use their 1yr result. If possible continue the measure till their final yr. Putting proper security mechanism in place can help u achieve what you want. I rest my case.
Re: JAMB: VC Advises On Scrapping Of Post UTME by fosch: 8:45am On Nov 30, 2016
Trust Nigerians, anybody that bought his / her way 2ru Jamb, I bet you can buy his/her way 2ru ur post-utme because u don't have saints there. Datz why we need deal with d monster corruption squarely. It has affected everything about this country.
