mfm04622:Bros y are you lying. Show me prove of your claim that some universities admit students with 120. |

Was about replying him when I saw this. The guy is confused and only looking for an excuse to justify his argument. Let schools blur out names and release a list of students waec against jamb result and you will understand that what the man is talking about is baseless. dapyd1: 1 Like |

MrEnigma007: Let Let me you an example of how there will be qualified candidates not admitted but there will b infilled spaces. When my brother sought admission into LASU, he had passed his WAEC, got more than cut off for JAMB, got more than cut off for LASU exam. H aggregate was 58, cut off was 55 for his course for non indegenes (even though he and his mother were born in Lagos!). He wasn't offered admission even though his aggregate score was higher than the cut off because more candidates got higher marks than him a filled available slots for non indegenes. While indegenes slots were no filled F that course even though the aggregate cut off was just 50! They did 2 other post UTME exams just to fill such slots for such courses, limiting such opportunities to indegenes who didn't get admission. That is students who didn't get 50 in the first place. The fact that cut off is 120 does not mean schools can't set higher cut off. It just mean nobody that scores below 120 will be offered admission no matter the circumstances. |

Kingslaw:200 is too low, 300 would be better |

Nelsizzy: I don't have proofs. However, if you know any student in Federal University, Gusau. Ask if some students are not in that school with less than 120. |

heykims:Yea he's right to a great extent. Imagine someone scoring 294 in jamb,passes post utme but not admitted because his O'level isn't correct. Probably he doesn't have up to the 5 credit pass required even if had both results (Waec and Neco) |

mfm04622:How is bringing the cut off mark to 120 going to solve the problem you stated above? |
Re: UTME Not For Admission, But For Ranking - Oloyede by Nobody: 1:11pm On Aug 27, 2017 |
VoltageDivida:That's your brother but there many that dont have up the required 0'level result.Some 8 credits with one subject missing |

Nelsizzy: I gave you opportunity to do investigation yourself. Do it and prove me wrong. Simple |

asuustrike2009: Brother During my days there was provision for entering SSCE results during JAMB registration. So I see no how admission can be offered to unqualified candidates if that is used. |
Re: UTME Not For Admission, But For Ranking - Oloyede by Nobody: 1:50pm On Aug 27, 2017 |
I see nothing to whine about here since the universities were given the right to shun jamb's cut off and adopt their desired cut offs. |

StRichard:Bro, he is not confused but correct. They are some who write jamb without having the complete O level requirements for the course they want to study. They believe they can bribe their way into the school once they can get above 200. That is why you see many of them find different means to cheat just to scale above 200. With this latest development and drop in general cut off mark, the desperation to get high scores using crooked means is abated. |

Uchemus: It is a RANKING exam. This obviously simply means that the candidate with 300 has a much better chance of gaining admission than the candidate with 140 provided both candidates have the requisite 5 credits in O Level. |

With this statement by JAMB registrar, JAMB will soon be scraped and universities given autonomy to conduct their "ranking" exams. |

heykims:Biko which Nigerian university in this era admits way below dey should.. have u gone to the universities before??.. the number of students they admit is far greater than the available facilities to train n eduacte these students.. so that point doesn't even have any bases |

As an ardent beliver to always fight for the poor...I think the policy is a step in the right direction. point one, 20 % of the students who scored above 180 might not even have their o level complete which constitute another addition for number of applicant next year. point two, Nigeria is divided into six geopolitical zones, while the south keeps denying their indigenous people of admission and the poor don't even get a chance there because of competition then again they move to the other side the North where they would be considered. after four years, Nigeria really don't care where you graduated from but connection. This makes more candidates in the north to have access into government agencies and parastatal while the south continues to think that they are the best and most qualified without access to university and lack of Job. point three, it makes education affordable for everybody on a plain level ground while utme gives you the opportunity to gain admission the university are in the better position to determine who will be admitted base on their standard and requirement. In conclusion, education in Nigeria has been the major contribution to her fall, why ?, because the orientation passed on to us by our fathers is such that without it you can't be a better person in life but that thinking or notion is obsolete. Education should be formal and prepare you for life struggle. Life is all about struggle in all facet, let's not make it complicated because we are rich or opportune then make the system continue to depreciation. |

bigtt76:Point of correction! Rich people pikin rarely fail O'Level (you won't agree if you live outside the country) and by calling them 'Rich' they can afford at least the private ones here if not abroad! Mind you, not all that came out with first class in our Uni scored 399/400 in Jamb. |

What is the main purpose for the introduction of utme? Is not for qualifying student student and reducing the burden for universities to admit student with academic quality and capacity for tertiary education. Those who don't meet the criteria of a particular course are given opportunities to fill the spaces for other courses to ensure that the issue of quota is taken care of. |

I think this is a good policy because having 200 and above in UTME does not make a candidate better than his contemporaries in some cases. Some of those high scores may have been gotten through fraudulent means. More so, some who scored low may have been limited by some factors and could graduate with higher grades than some who scored higher in UTME. They should be given a chance ! The policy has a lot of positive educational and economic implications |
