Understanding The Scrapping Of Post Utme by NigerianScholar: 1:13am On Jun 03, 2016
I am strongly in support of this...i know most of you arent. But to make this post simple to understand i'll number all my points
1. The scrapping of the post utme favours those that scored high marks in jamb and dosent favoured those that had technical problems
2. This would strongly reduce the 'egunje' in many universities. Meaning buying admission. As the scores that will be used to produce your cut off will come from your utme
3. It will save students a lot of stress for travelling all the way to a place just to write another exam and prevent extortion of money from parents by the university (******* university charge 6500 for their p utme)
4. There are many concerns about most people not gaining admission into their preferred institutions. Yes, this may be bad. But it would be a good thing in the long run. As it would let the enrollment into all institutions balanced. Everyone wants to go to unilag. Ui. Oau or whatsoever.....they should encourage people to try other universities
5. It doesnt make sense to write 2 exams for the same purpose. And if the university organises its exams. Like I said before....there would be ojoro
6. Jamb is going to shuffle canditates across different tertiary institutions

Give your views below. I actually dont see any reason why this is a welcome idea

As far as am concern, scrapping post utme is the best.


Modified: imagine thousands of student spending another money to obtain post utme forms, after expenses on jamb forms including logistics. And expect you to spend another money to travel down for one inconsequetial post utme exams.

Is it a job interview?

And the annoying part, Most of them end up becoming a prey to predators such in area of accommodation. after many stress in passing through jamb.


These schools don't care about their welfare. All they care about is getting their forms bought when you're not even sure of the admission.

Someone you wrote the test with, will have same or low score and will gain admission while you are left to wonder in your faith.

To some point they tell you 'go follow do runz' to secure admission when you knew the high score in jamb is enough to neatly secure you're admission without stress.


Post utme is fraud. It only gives those with connection, an opportunity to be what they want.

Just the way it's happening in the ongoing police recruitment.

Some people get it on a platter of gold because they are connected even when they are not qualify.

I hate the leaders of this country.

If I had my chance I'll destroy the world and allow and wish for a restart. The oppressing is too much too bear.

Common bricklayer job in Nigeria needs connection.

Same thing in the so called post utme.

Abeg where the button make I press for Nigeria restart.

The scrapping of the conduct of post-UTME by the federal government is applaudable. My only fear is that JAMB has not demonstrated the capacity to conduct a hitch free exam. Nothing buttresses this fact more than the highly flawed exam that was conducted this year where JAMB had to "pad" some candidates' scores. Besides, foremost institutions will still try to circumvent the rule. I don't see how schools like UI, UNILAG, OAU, and those in their league won't put candidates who chose them to test before admitting them.

Scrapping JAMB would had been better. How will they admit students then . Imagine a school like U.I , uniben,unilorin. Where the number of applicants are about 11 000 for only medicine and they can accommodate only 100 how will the screening be done That means the cut of mark will rise to 290or 300. And we all know that JAMB is not a trusted body . We saw how they truncated a lot of students this year.

Mehn fg no try. It is jamb that should have been scrapped not post utme. That jamb is totally biased.
Re: Understanding The Scrapping Of Post Utme by Adekorya: 2:46pm On Jun 03, 2016
It's actually a good development by FG, but the development also is not free of disadvantages as stated by Muslim Right Concern
There were allegations of bribery and corruption being rampant among staffers of JAMB who swapped candidates’ marks for the highest bidders.


There were also alleged cases of impersonation whereby parents who could afford it merely bought high scores for their children who never wrote any examination. Many brilliant candidates allegedly got low marks. Excellence was compromised on the altar of mediocrity. JAMB was ruining the future of Nigerian youths.


It was the poor performance of JAMB candidates who scored amazingly high marks but who could not justify their high scores in tertiary institutions that attracted hue and cry. They performed woefully after gaining entry into institutions and it was natural for the schools to do something about it since it was obvious that JAMB was dumping dullards in the universities and polytechnics all over the country.


It was an alarming situation. Many undergraduates could not write a single correct sentence. The quality of education in Nigeria was deteriorating. University graduates were performing woefully in job interviews and prospective employers had problems getting genuinely qualified graduates. The lion share of the blame for the fall in the quality of education in Nigeria today should go to JAMB.  


Post-JAMB examinations emerged as a corollary of this ugly situation. The universities and polytechnics needed to separate the wheat from the chaff.  


MURIC is not quite comfortable with government’s explanation that all tertiary institutions were at liberty to conduct screening for candidates seeking admission into any school because ordinary screening without written examinations cannot be effective enough. FG should also note that any type of screening at all must cost the institutions some money.


We call on FG to grant tertiary institutions some level of autonomy particularly in the area of admission requirements. FG should also stop JAMB from exposing the lives of teenage Nigerians to danger through its early morning examinations. It is most irrational for JAMB to slate its papers for 6.30 am in a country where insecurity is still a far cry.


Many JAMB candidates who went out to write the 6.30 am during the last exercise had ugly experiences. Many were forced to travel far distances and sleep overnight in strange and unsafe places. Two allegedly lost their lives as they were attacked by ritualists and armed robbers. One was allegedly raped by hoodlums. Another was kidnapped and the parents were made to cough out a huge amount of money. JAMB must put on a human face

Not to talk of system problem that normally arouse during Jamb exams Where the intelligent one are scoring below the cut off mark because of technical issues.

...Post UTME reduced admission anomalies.

IF FG scrapped PUME, there will be no benchmark for admission, the lecturers will just be using it to make money... To be admitted will go for like #500,000 or #1M in some schools...

Anybody can be admitted so far they score 180+...

Adamu Adamu should think twice far...

It will seriously kill our education system

Is it not in this Same 2016 that jamb conducted the worst exam ever. Many even voted for jamb to be scrapped and putme to be the new standard for admission. Putme has its flaws but not as terrible as the jamb we all experienced this year. If jamb is to be used as a means of abating corruption in the education sector, then jamb has to be perfected and made to have much more valid examinatuin results before it is considered for use in adnission. For now, jamb is still flawed, that's why most universities insist on conducting their own exams before admission.

And why would they still give universities the libertty to conduct their own putme if they will? The rule is pointless if institutions are not compelled to follow the rule. These ministers know how to make pointless laws sha undecided. As far as am concerned, they've not said anything new

JAMB should be scrapped. Scrapping post UTME is not the solution. JAMB is not a trusted body.
If each school can organise their own exams on their own and a candidate can apply for as many schools as he/she wants it would be better. He/she will gain admission to one of them.

And to the op. Your excuse of travelling to write an exam, didn't the candidate know where he/she picked in the first place?
