I have not been able to confirm that. But if that's true (which we pray it is) it's surely a good news. Meaning the rest are on d way. But may I know your source?

Sultan5:
Just heard Saturday results is out don't know how true though

You can trust people have reached to JAMB and they said they are aware Kemade has no results yet. Just keep praying and hoping.

opytom:
my little brother sat for his own on Monday 15th still no result yet. what's the way forward?

The power of togetherliness can never be underestimated. It's no news that thousands of candidtates who sat for the just-conluded JAMB UTME at this centre (Kemade Highflyer, Ile-Ife) have not seen their results days after the exam.

No one should talk about malpractice here cos all results beginning from 13th to 20th have not been released.

Stfu! Ui is by far a better Institution than Oau....Like we havent seen that sty you guys stay in.

When people compare Unis, there has to be a basis for doing that. We are talking about academics here and the highest decision making when it comes to approval of courses in our Ivy leagues has come with the message: You don't have what it takes to run this programme; stop doing so fraudulently.

I hope you know d implication of NUC action were it to have been a private Uni? Go ask the likes of Lead City

LARRYDKING:
That must be the reason why a 5 year programme exceeds 8 years and nothing good has recently been coming from the institution except echo of industrial action. A UI is ten time better than any OAU.

I do not expect anything less from a Uites. We sympathize with you folks on this huge loss/blow. We expect that soonest, perhaps when you give honour to whom it is due, you shall have your faculty re-accredited.

I will not come here to say OAU is the best Nigeria can put forward. Far from it. A lot of things below average are obtainable there. Take a look at South Africa Unis and you'll weep for your dear country. My point is this: in the midst of blind men, a one-eyed man reigns!

LARRYDKING:
What is in OAU?

Courses who's accreditation status read: Up to date. The faculty of pharmacy, OAU is the first of its kind in sub-sahara Africa.

There is a rumor (although unconfirmed) that those candidates whose JAMB scores have been held allegedly due to malpractice is untrue. That the truth is that their answers were erased from JAMB database. That the said statement by JAMB is just an attempt to save face.

https://www.nairaland.com/3823010/lies-jamb-which-way-nigeria

Something is definitely wrong dear and JAMB hasn't come out to tell us what the issue is. All the candidates that wrote at the said centre haven't seen their results. Just keep praying

And this is the University some dudes are comparing to OAU? I thought only up-coming private Unis are the ones normally faced with such embarrassing fate of disacreditation. Well, I pray UI gets out of the wood.

Can you imagine results still not yet out after several days the exam has been written? Indeed no better caption suits the anomaly.

DavidTheGeek:
U wrote at Kemade in Ife right?

As in, Kemade seems to be in for it this year. Many candidates who sat for their exams there haven't seen their results.

I have been involved in the usage of computer for conducting test for students and what I know is that results are normally ready as soon as exams are concluded. But I'm amazed and dazzled that candidates who sat for the just-concluded UTME as early as 16th, 17th and the rest haven't seen their results yet.

On the part of JAMB, they will want us to believe that they are fishing out possible cases of malpractice but this can be contested as other centres and sections of the country have had their results released. Ordinarily, they ought to have released statements stating clearly why the delay is happening. Or how do one calm down a candidate who had seen every other person's result but his/her own?

Authorities at all levels in this country have to be more sensitive. In case they are not aware this exam is everything to some people.

I advise you if you are among those repeatedly being told "You do not have any result yet" to be more prayerful and patient. So long as you didn't involve yourself in any malpractice and you followed all laid-down rules, It shall be joy afterwards. Remember the best are sometimes reserved till the end.

Anything called CBT should not be this long and irregular. Some who did theirs on Thursday have seen their results while others that did on wednesday and even tuesday haven't seen theirs! Just hoping that something fishy isn't going on.

I'll encourage all in this shoe to keep hope alive and pray for the best. By friday, we'll know if to keep hoping..

dfrost:
Just point it to him/her or let it slide. No need for fighting. I have developed a very important rule for myself: read in-between lines and statement of people around me and make a choice: ignore or respond. It helps me a lot. Cheers brother. Nice one on your analysis. I hope it helps the young blood.

You are warmly appreciated. I think I responded on the wrong post/comment. I've got nothing to gain in misleading anyone.

opeyemihendrix:
please
Is this the general screening modalities or each institution possess their own screening modalities

Not at all. That was for last year using UI model. Some other schools adopted the same style though. But like I earlier pointed out, we expect harmonization of grading system this year. Maybe that would be made known after the whole exercise is over - I mean UTME

Hope you find this useful

dfrost:
durentchigozie you can still counter his argument with facts than attacking him like that. Haba that was harsh.

I wonder why and how people boast on what they don't know. I was intimately involved in the admission process of last year in the schools I mentioned. Go confirm on UI page and you see the fact speaking for itself.

ugwuvictor58:
.But Op,is it ALL PRIME uni that makes use of these 50/50 system ?.Why I asked was because it was not these method UNN ,just to mention few,used last year.Or is it only SOME uni like UNILAG,IU ....u mention them,that made & is still making use of it ?.Though ur post was an eye opener,really appreciate,but looking forward to ur respond to my above question(s).

It's only few Unis that I'm sure of. Other institutions did use what seemed best to them. But expect harmonization this year

daamazing:
how does one calculate aggregate?

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.

Evidence1000:
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.

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

tdayof:
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.

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

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!

Congratulations to all.

Reports reaching us from candidates who have just concluded the 2017 UTME suggest that the much-anticipated examination may not be as difficult as feared in some quarters.

Though some complained of insufficient time, majority asserted that the questions were "relatively" simple. It is hoped that the results too will justify this claim.

Candidates just finishing theirs can also check in here to enlighten others. Heard just 5 questions came out of the prescribed text.

What was your own experience like?

ENCOURAGEMENT FROM THE

Don't even bother asking me cos I know how it feels. I know just how unwanted disappointment in admission can be. The policy change of this year really affected many otherwise sound guys. You are not alone in your groans if you didn't make the cut-off. So, don't do what I won't do. E.g taking rat poison or planning to employ "miracle center" to bail you ou.

Re-try again next year. Don't be discouraged, as you put in more effort, God will crown your personal effort. If your O'level is weak and you want MBBS, sonsider taking the next SSCE and bag your As.

It is well

I received this from a friend. Please if you have any info as to its truthfulness, kindly share.

The post utme of most universities have been cancelled
(except those that have written)
Many aspirants have been wondering how the universities
would use their utme score to get their aggregate
score….many have concluded that they would increase the
utme cutoff to 250,280 or whatsoever. But this is not represent
It is you o’level results that would be used to get your cutoff
C6 – 2pt, c5 – 4pt, c4- 6pt b3- 8pt B2- 10pt A1-12pt
For the 5 o’level subjects required for your course. Each
grade would be represent a point (refer to the quoted text)
above
How to calculate your UI aggregate score
1. Sum up all the points corresponding to the grades you
have in your o’level
2. Divide your utme score by 8
3. Sum up 1 and 2.
4. Divide by 110
5. Multiply by 100
Example
Utme score- 230
O level results-. A1,B2,B3,C4 and C6
1. 230÷8= 29
2. A1= 12 points
B2= 10 points
B3= 8 points
C4= 6 points
C6= 2 points
Total= 38 points
3. 29+38=67
4. 67/110= 0.61
5. 0.61* 100= 61%

"And Joseph said unto his Brethren, I die: and God will surely visit you, and bring you out of this land which he sware to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob. And Joseph took an oath of the children of Israel, saying, God will surely visit you, and ye shall CARRY UP MY BONES from hence" (Gen. 50:24-25)

It was the tradition of the Jews never to leave dead bodies for long before being buried. However, in the case of Joseph, he instructed his brethren to not bury him right away nor embalm him as it was the custom in Egypt then. Rather, he gave them the instruction to carry up his bones with them when God delivers them out of Egypt. The fulfilment of this deliverance was however going to take some 400yrs! Here are the lessons:

(1) God's word will never fail regardless how long it takes. In the case of the Israelites, it took some 400yrs but it eventually happened. God did visit his people

(2) Truth Faith believes that whatever God has promised, He is able to perform. It was God's promise through Joseph to deliver Israel and no matter how unthinkable or unfeasible it may, appear, genuine faith believes He can!

(3) True Faith trusts God's promises. Our heavenly Father has a thousand ways of answering our prayers of which we know nothing. Exactly how God will deliver Israel from Egypt, joseph didn't know but he kept on assuring: God will Surely visit you.

(4) God's promises brood No delay. They may appear late in our sight but they aren't in God'. He does things perfectly in His own time. Just be still and know that I am the Lord. (Psalm 46:10)

(5) True faith waits patiently on the Lord. One virtue that qualified some Isrealites to witness the fulfilment of the promise was patience. Wait patiently on the Lord, I say yea wait on the Lord (Psalm 27:14)

(6) True faith lives a pilgrim lifestyle. Do you know that all the time Joseph was in Egypt, his heart was in the promised land? That was while he made the pronouncement "Carry up my bones". You can be in Egypt today (the world, a job, an education e.t.c) but you heart ought to be in Canaanland (Heaven)

(7) A true believer cherishes the blessed hope. Joseph was actually looking forward to the apocalyptic day of judgement when God shall ultimately deliver His people from the Egypt of this world and settle them in Canaan Land. That should be our own obsession too.

There is an unfortunate trend in christendom today in which the acceptance of a person by God and his/her chances of getting saved is linked to either the G.O of the individual's christian denomination or his or her lineage. Inconceiveable as it may sound, there are many folks who rely on their parents' religious piety to presume that they would inevitably be saved.

The truth, however is that, if the scriptures can be trusted and if Indeed the God of heaven and earth is not a liar (Numbers 23:19), every one of us will be answerable for our individual deeds before the judgment throne of the Almighty. Your parent's righteousness will not deliver you neither will their unrighteousness be the reason you didn't make it.

In the light of this, it is expedient that we all "take our destinies into our hands" by studying the scriptures for ourselves and getting to hear God directly without any intermediary. Don't just follow what anyone says no matter how highly placed in your church he/she may be. Cross-check with your bible and ask the Holy Spirit to guide and He will.

"Though these three men, Noah, Daniel, and Job, were in it (an unrighteous city), they should deliver but their own souls by their righteousness, saith the Lord God" (Ezekiel 14:14)

I'm sure it's God's spirit contending with you on the subject you just posted. First and foremost, Sunday is not the "Sabbath of the Lord thy God". A careful study of the Bible will reveal to you that Saturday, not sunday is the sabbath.

Now, to answer your question. The breaking of God's commandment is a sin. No human rationalisation can change that. Going to work on Sunday is never a sin. Rather, refusing to keep a commandment of God that a special day, the 7th day of the week which is saturday, be set aside for Him is the real problem.

One can work on the sabbath. The question is just that: whose purpose does it serves? Yours or God's? If what you are doing on the sabbath is YOUR own way, dear, you are sinning. "If thou turn away thy foot from the sabbath, from doing thy pleasure on my holy day; and call the sabbath a delight, the holy of the LORD, honourable; and shalt honour him, NOT DOING THINE OWN WAYS, NOT FINDING THINE OWN PLEASURE, NOR SPEAKING THINE OWN WORD" (Isaiah 58:13 KJV).

If you are a doctor, the sabbath should not be used as an excuse to abdicate your role of saving lives. However, needless task and other things that can be done on other days should be avoided. It's a day God had fixed from the inception of this world to commune specially with his children. Just a pity that majority of people are missing out!
