Jamb hasn't told the students that wrote O'level exams for the first time this year and are yet to see their results what to do.
Are they saying every candidate must have spent at least a year at home??
This isn't looking nice.

JAMB says there will be no admission for awaiting result candidates

thecrush:

Hmmmm....I used the same method to enter Chemistry in 2007

The method wasnt tough for competitive courses like Pharma, MBBS, Elect-Elect, Econs...

PostUTme was just fair for all.....very transparent in UI.

Wasn't tough or tough bro...cut off mark for medicine that year was 80points. Pham....75points.the method heavily favoured those with high A grades in chemphybiomaths and english.what was your point then? And did u applied for chemistry?

bejeiodus:
Many people have comprehension problem in Nigeria. JAMB is not using any point system. The image below is what JAMB is proposing.

I don't know where u got ur own news from but u read punch news today? ?

Hmmm. . . . This is. . . . I don't know what it is.

ewo ni were gan??

Praise GOD! Examination malpractices has been officially approved in Nigeria

musty001:
What about students that are awaiting results?
How is there points gonna be calculated?
Since points are been allocated to the O level results

Jamb already stated that no awaiting results again

lilzcee:
no one has ever scored up to 300, talkless of above 300, we are human beings not machines, this is not fair at all, two results for 2points, it should be 5points, because half of 10 is 5, jamb rather stick to post utme

Then there is nothing to worry about. The students are competing against themselves and not against computers.

ladyF:
Jisos!!! Wetin I go come get with my own JAMB score and 2 sittings. Na wa o. Which kain tin be this. This is how they want to spoil to hustle of me and my fellow soon-to-be JAMBites

lol

OFFICIAL JAMB GRADING SYSTEM FOR 2016/2017 ADMISSION. # Jambhelp @Jambhelp .

He will now await the school to release the cut off point for his course.

I scored 178 is there hope for me gaining admission into polytechnic dis year? pls help.

I don't think this is good enough considering the high rate of examination malpractices in O'Level exams. If you happen to mark WAEC/NECO scripts, you'd know most secondary school students, don't own their results they cheated.

That apart, using UNILORIN or UNILAG who get close to, if not more than, 90,000 applicants a year with just a meagre 7,000 available admission slots, if the points grading system was adopted and let's say 45,000 qualified. What would the FG do to the other remaining 38,000 successful applicants.

Post UTME is by far the most credible exam right now.

Besides, why is it so hard to pay for post utme? The same people who will spend lavishly on Aso Ebi, Owanbe, Sallah, Alcohols, clubbing and other frivolities should be able to spend on education without complaints

For the last paragraph, it's not true. Not all persons lavish their money on irrelevant things. That Musa spends alot doesn't mean Danjuma does likewise. If at all post utme should be conducted, the fees charged shouldn't be high especially for public institutions

kinglekan:

Curbing/reducing examination malpractice would go a long way to ensuring the right candidates get in at the end of the day. If the current status quo remains then the purpose of the PBS is defeated.

Even the cbt isn't save

Corruption, why charging processing fee by the University, what useless point system Is this? Who brought this senseless point system, this is not going to work.

musty001:

It simply means that candidates with awaiting result, stand no chance of being admitted.

Think it was stated earlier in one of the jamb updates posted here.

Whats the meaning of 180-200 : 20-23 Which one is which?

180-185=21 185-190=22 195-200=23 Hope you now understand?

U're myopia on dat ''sallah'' mayb i shd ask u ''christmas'' nko

This is serious, education system in Nigeria is not favourable every year by year, only God can help we students.

Point system is good but the issue or point I raise is that. Students most be open to admission to all 140 universities.

Private universities most have unlimited admission capacity to deal with the issue of excess candidate. This is why I want the modification to jamb to allow all student an opportunity to be considered and given multiple admission of their choice. Price of universities are not the same.

And someone who went through jamb and I understand better security hidden agenda of government in jamb relative to national security

Jamb most be open to make modifications to allow them to try all 140 universities, not just 3 universities.


You want to expand your private universities to a capacity of 10,000 admission a year

How is this breeding corruption? Is it government fault if you don't get 300+?[/quo
te]
Is either u didn't write jamb in Nigeria or u didn't go to school at all. Its very difficult to make up to 300 in jamb

Annibiteye:
I wonder o

Simply the best way to increase malpractices in jamb and waec. More private center and impersonation in jamb. More private secondary school waec exam. Less students writing waec in public schools that can't settle waec official and help with the questions

Izumarock70:
Pls someone that want to study computer engineering, what are the four subjects he will write in jamb?

Use of English; further mathematics; Physics Technical drawing(that is if they do Technical drawing in JAMB).

midasbliss:
Tons of people wrote JAMB with awaiting result... Jeez... This isn't fair sha, at least during registration, they would have not given room for candidates with awaiting results...

The thing appears that there is no room for awaiting results.

I knew this and I have said it earlier that post utme is the best. With this breakdown, students from miracle centre are more favoured than students who really read and prepared well. God help this country

JAMB is more confused.

What nonsense are you saying? Will you pay TWICE for same thing?

This is nonsense. Meaning corruption continues. The FG has said NO post UME exam or whatever allocation of points, but JAMB say no. Who is now who? JAMB or FG?

I like the development.... But the points shud have been increased.
So what will be the cut of point for candidates to qualify with now?

If this system is finally implemented, great injustice has been done to students with awaiting results. They have spent their time and money to write JAMB and now they are excluded. It automatically means students will have to waste a year at home before admission and waste another year doing NYSC. It just means a person going for a 4 year course will have to spend 6 years before thinking of getting a job. This is wack. They should have taken their time to perfect the modalities before implimentation.
