JAMB 2017: Oloyede Made Everyone Look Brilliant by dedecoder: 12:38am On May 19, 2017 |
I have read with keen interest many of the wonderful results students have been celebrating in this year's UTME. Folks who have had to wrestle with the exam severally now bask in the euphoria of having had fantastic scores. No doubt, in some quarters, the new leadership of JAMB should be applauded. At least it gave everyone "a sense of belonging". If you scored 260 or 270 and yet couldn't get your dream course or any admission at all, be consoled that at least you "passed". The Magnanimous Unilorin Ex-Vc has made life better. Unlike other years where you expect 290 and you check your result only to find 206 or 220. He must be at least be praised for letting everyone know they are "brilliant". Be that as it may, there is a sad reality on ground- the available space. The admission process may be a little bit "stuffy" this year because of the plethora of big scores. Don't forget, WAEC of this year too seems to be loose. So, in the journey to the Nigerian University for 2017/2018 session, the film or if you like, drama has just begun! Legs crossed... 22 Likes 2 Shares

Getting admitted as a science student will be very competitive this year except the candidate has a good O'level result. I have seen alot of students with 280-330. Most universities divide Jamb by 8 which means 320/8=40 points. However, most students do not have a strong o'level. Most of the candidates O'LEVEL points will fall into 30 with few having 30-40 points. This means 40+30=70 points. You should also know most of these guys got less than 320 in jamb. Most are withing the range of 280-304 . So 304/8= 38 points. With total being 68. What I'm trying to say is most of the science students results are of high score and at the same time this is a big hinderance for them to secure admission as most of them already have a weak waec result. The jamb only compliments their waec which is an advantage to boost their aggregate. The big issue now is admission. Last year UI medicine and surgery was 71 points with around 170 students to be admitted.. Over 3,000 applicants applied to study at UI and a minimum of 350 applied to study medicine and surgery. Out of the 350, 100 won't meet the cutoff and the remaining students amount to 250. Now 250 students made the cut or but only 170 are to be admitted. 100 as merit and 70 as cachement. Now the student best bet is to be among the top 100.. Cut off is 71 and a student has 73 while 60 students have 73.4-75 while the rest have 75-75. Now this is what no one likes. Advice, calculate your aggregate and be sure you're meeting up with cut off or probably apply for change or course to a course where you can cross back to your preferred course Thank You. PS: statistics are not exact but my own opinion. 35 Likes 3 Shares |

I thought I was the only one that observed this. Thank you Op. You see, JAMB has become something else. So easy and cheap compared to the yesteryears. I've always been telling the jambites of this year to quit rejoicing until they are given admission because Nigerian system of education is funny. Jamb recorded the highest number if applicants this year. So if everybody is passing, would it be possible for everyone to get admitted? In this case, the battle is not for the strong nor the race for the swift but by the mercies of God amidst hard work. 29 Likes 3 Shares |

tdayof: Last year, the cut-off mark for U.I medicine was 76.76 and not 71 as you opine above. Unilag placed theirs at 80 points. The two schools used the 50/50 idea. But then, I agree with your submission. It's better to be sure of one's aggregate now and then take the right step 3 Likes 1 Share |

Evidence1000: You got the message cllearly. Rejoicing just because you pass 200 may eventually not last. But honestly, someone needs to speak to the team of examiners of JAMB to brace up. They should not be coerced to lower the standard. WAEC questions this year, to me, beat those of JAMB's both in structure and completeness. And before now, it used to be the other way round 3 Likes |

If you've written JAMB since they scrapped the PPT, you would had known that the former registrar (Prof. Dibu Ojerinde) is a specialist in failing and giving out imaginary results. Prof. Oloyede does not make any candidate looks brilliant but rather give most people their desire scores. Do you know how many people that scored below 180? Go to myschool website to see for yourself and stop judging on few results you see on nairaland. What make you think those people that have been failing jamb do not deserve more? or the fact that they had failed several times, justify they should fail again this year! If Oloyede had chosen to go in the way of Dibu by dishing out imaginary results, I'm sure you'll be the first person to condemn him. I've been observing jamb dealings since the days of (paper type A, B, C etc) and all I can say is Oloyede is FAIR. 40 Likes 3 Shares |

daamazing: O'level = 50points; Jamb Score = 50points. So, for ur utme, divide it by 8. E.g suppose you scored 288, it'll be 288/8 =36. That means out of 50points accruable to utme, you've secured 36. For O'level. This is how it goes: A1=6points B2=5points B3=4points C4=3points C5=2points C6=1points So, let's say your result looks like this Maths B2 (that's 5points) English C4 (that's 3points) Physics A1 (that's 6points) Biology B3 (that's 4points) Chemistry A1 (that's 6points) Summing the points together, you have 5+3+6+4+6 =24 (out of possible 30) It'll now be: 24/30*50 = 40. (It means for O'level, you've secured 40 out of possible 50). Putting the two together, you have 40+36 =76. So, your aggregate is 76. You'll realise that though the grades and scores are impressive, a candidate who had this last year would not secure admission to UI, UNILAG or OAU medicine. And that's the import of my post. With huge scores this year, the cut-off may even be higher. Hope you find this helpful. 28 Likes 3 Shares |

I don't think too many pple scored too high scores this time. I still see around me a lot ofpeople that failed mixed with those that did not. The difference this year is that it was easier this year for those who read to do well which is what examinations should be about?? My nephew scored 306 for engineering and he deserved it. That boy read his heart out so when u say the exam was too easy, then its sad that we think that exams are designed to fail students. The new registrar is a true academic that has made a lot ot if effort to take jamb back to what it used to be in our time. U read hard , u pass, u don't read , u fail. The scourge of expos and high scores for cheaters will hopefully be a thing of the past. Let the kids start reading again!! 25 Likes 1 Share |
