Every universities has their own standards , the Post-UTME can be a way for some universities to test their prospective students if they will be fit enough to survive the school workload. For example, JAMB exempt some science students from taking Mathematics in their UTME, Which is always part of their workload in the first year, the post-UTME is another test if the prospective candidate have the required knowledge of Mathematics to survive in the school.


Another case is the Post-UME screening examination conducted by the University of Education, Ikere-Ekiti (TUNEDIK), particularly in essay writing, exposed inadequacies in most of the candidates. A total of 500 candidates were randomly selected for this study from five departments of the three foundation faculties of education, science and information technology and arts, social and management sciences. 200 out of the 500 candidates (40%) scored 200 marks and above in JAMB, 125 candidates (25%) scored 190-199, also 125 candidates (25%) again scored 180-189 and 50 candidates (10%) scored 170-179 in JAMB. Ironically, only 87 out of the 200 candidates (43.5%), who scored 200 and above in JAMB, passed the Post-UME essay while the remaining 113 candidates (56.5%) scored below 40%. Without screening, candidates who scored 200 marks and above in JAMB would have been automatically admitted on merit, whereas many of those candidates in the score ranges of 190-199 and 180-189 did better in the Post-UME essay.

Nice presentations guys. You guys did good. I certainly learned something today. Actually I had thought "Political Decamping" wasn't a debatable topic, but I now know better .

Microflux
Nice piece, however there were several hitches here and there:
1. Inappropriate use of certain words: In your quest to show us your vocabulary proficiency, you ended up using some words that were inappropriate in certain sentences. An example is "...period they are imminent in office." The word imminent is inappropriate in that sentence.

2. Use of Bible to prove you point: There's nothing wrong in using bible instances or quoting bible verses. However it's advisable not to dwell on them or use them as your main argument premise. This is because Religion is based on faith and not fact.

3. Spellings and Grammatical Errors: There were many repeated spelling errors. Most notably was that of "permanent"

4. Examples/Illustrations: You didn't spice up your writing with much examples/instances.

Nevertheless, I still say weldone. You did great.

Danjuma you had good command of English. Love the examples and instances you gave. However I frown at the use of the "hmmmm" word. This is a formal platform. Also I think your piece is too short. Microflux's was 971, yours could have been in that range too.

All in all, you were superb.

Miracy
I tried several times, albeit unsuccessfully, to find the loopholes in your piece. Weldone Miracy, you've done OAU proud. However your piece is too short. You could have elaborated more on your points.

hahaha my senior colleague hope u are enjoying ur break?

boxypane:
Not at all my eloquent Colleague, let us not dissect the heart because the head feels feverish. Democracy(in igbo) is well defined to suit "Decamp", whatever part of the nation we hail from, the party doesn't matter as long as we have the interest of the nation at heart. If it pdp doesn't suit my agenda for country n self, and I feel APC has that platform for my furure analogy and achievement, it is only imperative for me to fullfil my goals by choice of decamping.
