Take time and read properly so that you understand what's happening:
.
.The Modalities for 2016/2017 Admission processes Into Higher institutions as was released by JAMB
.
1- The meeting was held at:
B.O Ukeje Auditorium, Nation Commission for colleges of Education, Central Business District Abuja.... on Tuesday 28th for Federal institutions, Wed 29th for state institutions and Thursday 30th June 2016 for Private institutions....
The meeting was for stakeholders and educational bodies to work out the modalities of screening candidates duly recommended for admission.
.
Due to the National importance of the meeting, it was chaired by the permanent secretary to the ministry of Education, this is to ensure that the honorable minister's directives on the scrapping of postume and the modalities is STRICTLY ADHERED TO.
.
2- ADMISSION CRITERIA FOR ALL INSTITUTIONS-
A- CONVENTIONAL INSTITUTIONS
Universities and colleges of Education
To Admit 60% Science and 40% Arts
.
B- SPECIALIZED INSTITUTIONS
Varsities of technology, Agriculture etc
To admit 100% sciences ( but 80% sciences and 20% others..... For state varsity and colleges of Education)
.
C- Polytechnic and colleges of Technology
To admit 70% Sciences and 30% Arts
.
3- UTME/DIRECT ENTRY ratio
To Admit 90% UTME
". ". 10% DE
Where the 10% for DE is not utilized, UTME candidates should be used in completing the quota
.
4- ISSUES TO NOTE BY ALL Institutions....
The list of candidates that has crossed the minimum cutoff of Jamb but were not admitted into a particular institution should be forwarded back to jamb, as this candidates will be redistributed to other institutions who need them for consideration.....most preferably their 2nd choice institution....
(This means that those who scored the general cutoff say 180 or 200 and above but couldn't reach the departmental cutoff and were not admitted will be forward to other institution for admission consideration, just like eligibility stuff last year)
.
5- STUDY HERE PROPERLY,
In the Meeting, Jamb did some evaluations on processes some universities has been following in the former years as a case study, they used this two varsities which don't normally write pume as a case study but uses screening method: these are:
.
Abubakar Tafawa Balewa University and its affiliates 2015/2016 mode of admission, Jamb made remarked on the life span of certificates (O-level) which the school indicated as 5yrs only for you to be admitted, and Jamb also made remarks on how much this varsity collects from aspirants
.
Ibrahim Badamasi Babangida's who use jamb grading systems like 180- 185 as 20 points, 186-190 as 21 points and So on...
Jamb faulted and made remarks on
1- why they should screen candidates before recommendation and presentation to jamb
2- The weighted course requirements and grades put some students to disadvantage
3- fees charged for screening, HOW MUCH??
.
In the meeting, Jamb made some sampled printouts of some federal universities that do conduct written exams.... Using Futo, unilorin, uniabuja, and Unilag as a case study
.
Using FUTO Mechanical Engineering department as an example, they have the capacity to admit a total number of 193 for that department...
they suppose to admit 87 on merit, 68 for catchments( they have 5 catchments states, so 68 divided by 5 = 13.5, so they suppose to admit 14 for each catchment states), 39 for EDLS (they have 23 EDLS so 39/23 = 1.6~ 2 for each EDLS)....
But they summary/outcome jamb gave for futo was: 92:70:14 for merit: catchment: ELDS
.
Unilorin admission for law which has a capacity of 89 was also used and the outcome was that they admitted a total of 70 instead of 89 using merit, catchments and ElDS....
.
Uniabuja with a capacity of 444 for Economics department admitted just 370
.
Unilag with a capacity of 280 for law department had a summary/outcome of 270 instead of 280...
.
For private institution, they used about 5 institutions as case study, where
Covenant varsity, with 111 capacity for Engineering end up admitting just 45 (I guess due to lack of candidates), Salem varsity Lokoja which have a capacity to admit 20 for computer Engineering ended up admitting just 8 (due to lack of candidates) and so on for the remaining 3 varsities used as sample....
.
For State institutions: Imsu, Lautech, Kaduna. State varsity and 2 others were used, the outcome looked partly like federal uni outcome for those state varsity like imsu who have candidates every year and some outcomes looked like that of private varsity for some state universities that lacks candidates every year...
.
6- After the whole evaluation, JAMB came up with this As the MODALITIES TO BE TAKEN THIS YEAR By All institutions:
PROPOSED JAMB MODEL FOR SCREENING OF RECOMMENDED CANDIDATES*
_1.Screening of candidates shall be for those offered *Provisional Admissions* ONLY.
.
_2.No *written examination* to be conducted._
_.
3.Verification of Course Requirements (O levels or A levels)._
_.
4.Verification of valid JAMB results by checking:_
_i.Online Result Slip_ _ii.Printout_
_iii.Provisional Admission Letter_
_iv.Photo Album_
_v.Check list_
_vi.Biometrics
_
*5.Institutions are free to source from other Course(s) to compensate for SHORTFALL in any of the criteria..


This new method uses a point system that is easy to understand, the whole process is divided into main points as follows;
1) Before a candidate can seat be considered for screening, he/she must have been given provisional admission by Jamb. The Jamb admission checker portal is going to be opened soon for this process, so praying is all you can do now.
2) THE POINT SYSTEM:
This is the most critical part of the process. Jamb's provisional admission no longer makes much sense this year, your points tally will decide your faith. The points are evenly spread out between your O'level and Jamb results to provide a level playing field for all.
In the first case, any candidate who submits only one result which contains his/her relevant subjects already has 10points, the exam could be NECO, WAEC, GCE etc, but any candidate who has 2 sittings only gets 3 points. So this means that aspirants with only one result are at an advantage but only just.
The next point grades fall into the O'level grades. Each grades has it's equivalent point, A=6 marks, B=4 marks, C=3 marks, so the better your grades the better your chances.
The next point is the UTME scores. Each score range has its equivalent point which can be summarized thus, 180-200=20-23 marks, 200-250=24-33 points, 251-300=34-43, 300-400=44-60 points. Each categories contains 5 Jamb results per point added, for example a candidate with 180-185 gets 20points, a candidate with 186-190 gets 21 points etc.
Points system for DE will be released soon.
3) It then comes down to the fact that fees will still be charged for screening, it depends on the school as well.
4) Catchment and ELDS will still be used!

Editor’s note: A Nigerian army soldier headquarted in Maiduguri, who does not want to disclose his personality, came up with a warning letter to the Nigerian government. He brought forward eight crucial questions the Muhammadu Buhari administration should provide answers to by the end of January, otherwise the soldiers promise to organise a large-scale strike to draw the attention of the government to their problems.

We, the soldiers in Maiduguri, are losing patience, and we are planning massive protests in the country by January; then they will know our pains.

Here are the questions we want them to answer.

1. Is the Nigerian army really winning the war against the insurgency?

We are not winning the war against these people, if you will. Come to any location across Maiduguri and interview the soldiers one by one – then you will know the pains we are passing through here. They keep deceiving Nigerians on media, sitting down in Abuja and telling the people what is happening in the theatre. Let them come and stay in these environment.

2. Are we really paid our entitlement as the soldiers who fight and die for their nation?

Why has Dambazau, who is now the minister of interior, suspended our allowances: TC allowance and furniture allowance? Why are the navy and the air forces still being paid their money? These questions should be forwarded to Dambazau.

3. Are the soldiers really equipped with good weapons to counter insurgents?

Recently some weaponry has been brought, however, most weapons we now use were bought by Goodluck Jonathan, when he postponed the last presidential election for six weeks, and the captured terrain was regained.

4. What are the tactics used in the war?

I must tell you there are no specific tactics being used. Whenever we go for any operation, we just move; most officers are so afraid that they just push the poor soldiers forward for them to remain at the rear.

5. Are we attacking the terrorists, or we are still sitting in ambush, waiting for them?

We are still sitting in ambush. Why is it so? The best form of defence is always attack. We wait for insurgents to attack and kill soldiers for nothing. The officers may lie to us that jet has bombarded the terrorists, and we should only go for mopping up. However, getting there we are likely see them waiting for us 5 km from the camp. There are saboteurs both of the upper and lower rank in the armed forces and the government.

6. Does the president visit the troops or send delegations to boost their morale?

What does President Muhammadu Buhari do to boost the morale of the troops in the war zone? Does he send delegations to visit us? No! He will never do this. Why is it so? Don’t get me wrong: the president is really trying to make sure the war is coming to an end.

7. Why do they sentence our fellow colleagues to 10-year imprisonments?

Why those generals stealing billions of naira are still walking and driving all over the country freely? There are the soldiers who were praying for Muhammadu Buhari to win during the last election so that he could at least understand since he was once in the system. Some of these poor soldiers are the bread winners in their families, I must tell you. But look at the outcome now. Where are those who stole the money meant to purchase arms for the troops, where are those who stole $1 billion? I feel that TB Joshua’s prophesy is coming into reality now.

8. How much is the operational allowance paid to the troops?

Why are we not paid our entitlement, even those who fought and died for their fatherland? When their families come to carry the corps, we are the ones to give them money to convey the corps.

They pay us just N30, 000 for an operation. Why do we work like elephants, and eat like ants in this country? Moreover, you will never see the money in two-three months. When we are out of town, our feeding is nothing to write home about. Most commanding officers spend the allowances meant for our colleagues lying in the hospital shot.

Where is the e-payment President Muhammadu Buhari has promised to provide the armed forces with? Let our salaries come directly from the CBN, and then nobody will have a chance to eat our money.

I must tell you the soldiers here are sick and tired of the everyday propaganda. If we don’t see any improvements by the end of January, there will be arrangements to vent our anger. You know what it means when soldiers strike in the country. Those who sit under air conditioners eating our money will see us in full force
