UNIVERSITIES CHARGING ABOVE N2,000 FOR POST-UTME MUST REFUND EXCESS TO STUDENTS, SAYS JAMB The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) yesterday said universities that charged more than N2,000 from applicants for its post-Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) examination would be made to refund the excess payment. JAMB’s Head of Public Relations, Fabian Benjamin, made these known in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Abuja. He decried message on the social media that the Minister of Education, Adamu Adamu, had directed the refund of post UTME fee, describing the information as false and could create confusion in the public domain. Benjamin urged the public to disregard the information, saying that institutions that had charged more than N2,000 would be asked to make refund of the excess. He described as unfortunate a situation where some institutions could not adhere to the minister’ directive about the payment of post-UTME. The examination board said it would partner the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to conduct public examination through Computer Based Test, CBT, for Nigerians abroad. Benjamin said the collaboration was to enhance the conduct of UTME for foreign candidates in 2018. He said 2017 UTME was conducted for foreign candidates on September 30 in Gambia, Saudi Arabia, United Kingdom, Ghana, Ivory Coast, Benin Republic, Ethiopia, South Africa and Cameroun. According to him, although the conduct of the examination was not justifiable, in terms of monetary value, there is need for JAMB to collaborate, to promote growth in the education sector. “We are already promoting CBT in line with international best practices; we have taken it to some countries in Africa, we need to do more to encourage the practice. “We have even gone ahead to see how we can put some countries on the global map by conducting our public examination there through CBT. “What we want to do is to partner with the ministry to be able to key into the global technology revolution as part of our foreign policy. “We must be able to maximise profit, especially from West African countries that we are offering assistance, through scholarship, to school in Nigeria. “We cannot achieve much by looking at things from naira and kobo, but through diplomatic relations there will be adequate room to gain through conduct of examination abroad,” he said. The head of public relations explained that foreign candidates sat for examination in one session based on local time of their various countries, adding that the questions were deployed from the board’s headquarters. http://www.akelicious.com/2017/10/universities-charging-above-n2000-for.html

Story! For this Naija?? If you get a refund, mention me and il add another 2k to it. They will even collect more in the process of making you apply for refund. You'll be made to buy a "refund card" from any bank. Then go online and apply, Retrieve your RRR code from remita. Head onwards to pay the 1000 at any bank of your choice. Go back to the website and complete your application. Submit and wait for Eternity for a confirmation email. 15 Likes |

The Post Jamb Thing Is Just A Means Of Revenue Generation For Most Public Universities.Since They Know Their Carrying Capacity It Is Criminal To Collect Money From People With Low Scores Whom You Know Their Aggregate Will Never Give Them Admission.In My Opinion It Should Be Scrapped |

This is JAMB interfering with the rights of the universities to conduct this test. None of these universities have same conditions and that's why their school fees are not the same. So why give them a benchmark on exam fees? |

Easier said than done. The vice chancellors of Nigerian universities are like gods. the amount of power they have and exercise is outrageous. it is sad enough that neither the federal government or minister of education nor jamb can do another about it. it's even surprising this whole thing is coming from jamb who keep increasing the price of jamb form evey year from 3000 naira to 6000naira they are even more corrupt than the universities vice chancellors. this is just a perfect definition of Pot calling a kettle black. |
