For me, anyone scoring 120 has no business with University education because he/she is yet to grasp the fundamentals.

Guy no be lie the guy talk na.. When I got admitted in uniport in 2012, I did so through high scores in both jamb and post utme. Was shocked to later see the scores of some northerners in the school.. Made me realize we aren't on an even playing field in this country.

modsfucker:


We're talking of changing the way things are run and you're here telling us about your Jamb score. Do you believe that a person can select the right answer in JAMB without actually knowing what the question is all about?

No matter what playing field you're talking about, if a UK student is made to sit for this same JAMB, I doubt if he would score the 120.

The way exams are set in this country is quite absurd and nothing but sheer madness.

There is really no reasonable person in this administration, everything is allowable. I can't wait for 2019 to send these cabal back to their home town

If JAMB like let them reduce their cut off Mark to
20...




What I know Is that my children must be
footballers.

godwinony:

If you actually read through the replies and mentions you would've noticed that the jamb score illustration was to emphasize different rules for different folks.
On the issue of exam being tough/hard or however you portray it, do you expect it to be any easier or straightforward considering the number of applicants jostling for limited spaces in the institution? It is same in every facet of life. The more competitive, the harder it is to attain. Serious people have been passing exams and will continue to.

modsfucker:




your comment is still ethnically motivated

Let me ask you this questions.

1. Do you think if you ask a white man to sit for this same UTME exam he would score the 180 points?

2. BEtween those white people and us, who make better use of the education by putting it into practice?

Note: I have studied in a flexible system where students have the liberty to chose a date they want to write their exams and all theories carry only 30% while practicals and continuous assessment carry 70.

godwinony:

Ethnically motivated? When a department that required a 54% cut off mark actually admitted 4 northerners with scores ranging from 40-45% while a friend of mine with 52% wasn't given a look in that year.. Ethnically motivated? Not saying the truth is what is killing us in this country.

You made mention of the white man and having studied in their "flexible" system. Now tell me this, are the whites so overpopulated like us that their kids fall over themselves to apply for a few admission slots in their inadequate schools like us? Answer is no.

They aren't overpopulated like us and their schools are adequate, therefore there is no need for them to sit for our "hard" utme which was made so in order to trim down applicants.

eyeview:
The truth is that since most states in the south started complaining against high cut off marks for their indigenes while their northen counterparts get very low cut offs for the same course and school, jamb instead of raising the uniform cut off to a level that will make the north work a bit harder, they in the spirit of tribal sentiments lowered the cut off to the 'northern standard' even when they know it will destroy our already deteoriating educational standard.
The day we stop doing favoritism towards the north who have refused to catch up with the south and start doing things by merit is the day we'll start moving forward as a nation

mrNEMZY:

He is not being tribal, he is just stating fact. If you like go and check how Students are admitted even in federal government colleges and see how low the cut off mark is for the north

Don't get me wrong though, all am trying to say is that they should level the playing field so that best brains are produced

authority2006:
However, the Vice-Chancellor of the Christopher University, Ogun State, Prof. Friday Ndubuisi, said the new admission benchmark would have no negative implication on the quality of education. He said, “This is not an imposition. The cut-off mark is a minimum benchmark for admission. This idea of taking the UTME every year without getting admission is worrying. About 1.6 million candidates sat for the examination this year and about 500,000 will beadmitted mostly because of the cut-off mark. Most universities will not go below 200, but with five credits obtained in two sittings, a person should be qualified for admission. This is, however, not an imposition. Universities still get to decide on whom to admit through the post-UTME.’’

Chidonc:

no offense sire, you are the one with a tribal sentiment here, as long as this system of quota education continues Nigeria wont move forward, let everything be on merit. no need of lowering cut off mark to favor some region, when the bench mark is higher, the competition becomes stiffer and the competitors train more harder. let room be created for the best.

is the reduced cut off mark of 120 only for the northerners?
