THE Joint Admission and Matriculation Board,
JAMB, has disclosed that the cut-off marks for
universities and polytechnics will be made public
in June, 2016.



.
.
.

Its Public Relations Officer, Dr Fabian Benjamin in
a telephone conversation with Vanguard said:
“JAMB will officially publish the 2016 Unified
Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME), cut-
off marks for universities and polytechnics in
June.”
He urged candidates of the 2016 UTME to ignore
the cut-off marks from some websites and social
media, stating that those cut-off marks were just
the imagination of people.
You would recall that many websites over the
past weeks had published that JAMB’s cut-off
marks for university and polytechnic are 180 and
150 respectively.
Candidates seeking admission
Having gone through the rigour of UTME
examinations in the past weeks, candidates
seeking admission in universities, polytechnics
and colleges of education are expecting JAMB
cut-off marks which will give candidates next line
of action.
For any student to participate in post-UTME of
the institutions of first and second choice, such
candidate must beat JAMB 2016 cut-off mark,
institution's of first choice cut-off mark, and
departmental cut-off mark. To JAMB, the cut-off
point for university and polytechnics are
determined every year by the candidates’ over all
performance. Apart from JAMB setting entrance
cut-off points for university and polytechnic
applicants, each institution, also has its cut-off
point for students seeking admission in the
school.
In most cases, even when a student meets the
cut-off mark of the institution, admission is not
guaranteed if he does not meet the cut-off mark
of the chosen course. Vanguard investigation
revealed that all these measures were put in
place by universities to reduce the numbers of
students seeking admission, especially where
many students make the institution their first
choice. Thus, most times, when JAMB gives cut-
off mark as 160 or 180 to universities,
universities like the University of Lagos (UNILAG),
University of Ilorin (UNILORIN), University of
Benin (UNIBEN), University of Ibadan (UI),
Obafemi Awolowo University (OAU), University of
Nigeria, Nsukka (UNN) and Federal University of
Technology, Akure (FUTA) and others, give their
institution’s cut-off marks. Such cut-off marks
are usually higher than the JAMB cut-off marks.
Besides, students aspiring to study courses like
Medicine, Engineering, Law and Mass
Communication in many universities, attract
higher university and departmental cut-off marks.
For some Nigerian polytechnics, if JAMB fixes its
cut-off mark at 150, institutions like Kwara State
Polytechnic and Lagos State Polytechnic insist on
180 as cut-off points. The knowledge of the
aforementioned will assist candidates to change
institutions and courses of study before it’s too
late.
Certificate of Recognition
Meanwhile,the Executive Secretary, National
Universities Commission had disclosed that 1.1
million students seeking admission into Nigerian
universities will have their hope dashed, as only
400,000 out of the 1.5 million candidates that sat
for the Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination
in 2016 will gain admission.
Okojie who spoke recently in Abuja while handing
over the Certificate of Recognition for the new
Edo State University, Iyanmo to Governor Adams
Oshiomhole, solicits for more universities in
Nigeria.
He said: “I am always happy when a new
university comes on board; what that means is
that we are expanding and we are opening up
access.’’
He admitted that the number of candidates that
sit for UTME organised by JAMB every year
outnumbered the available spaces in Nigerian
universities.
He said that the new universities were needed to
boost access to higher education while making
sure that quality was not compromised.

Universities Commission had disclosed that 1.1
million students seeking admission into Nigerian
universities will have their hope dashed, as only
400,000 out of the 1.5 million candidates that sat
for the Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination
in 2016 will gain admission.
Okojie who spoke recently in Abuja while handing
over the Certificate of Recognition for the new
Edo State University, Iyanmo to Governor Adams
Oshiomhole, solicits for more universities in
Nigeria.
He said: “I am always happy when a new
university comes on board; what that means is
that we are expanding and we are opening up
access.’’
He admitted that the number of candidates that
sit for UTME organised by JAMB every year
outnumbered the available spaces in Nigerian
universities.
He said that the new universities were needed to
boost access to higher education while making
sure that quality was not compromised.

Education“JAMB Used Wrong Software For 2016” by stoicguy(op): 9:41pm On Mar 23, 2016
Seeks Dibu Ojerinde’s resignation as registrar
JAMB explains conflicting results


The Association of Tutorial School Operators (ATSO) has accused the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) of using the wrong grading software to mark the 2016/2017 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME).

The group claimed that the error was responsible for the poor and conflicting results that were released by the board for the examination written between February 27 and March 17 in over 500 centres nationwide.

At a press briefing in Lagos on Wednesday, President of the group, Mr Shodunke Oludotun, alleged that the board erroneously used the software from last year to grade this year’s examination.

He called for the release of the right results, as well as the resignation of the JAMB Registrar, Prof ‘Dibu Ojerinde.

Oludotun said: “We have our evidence to show that virtually all the candidates we have collected results of 2015/2016 and not of 2016/2017.

“This year, Prof Dibu Ojerinde advertised 2016/2017 UTME – we all saw it. During his press conference, he also mentioned 2016/2017. During the exam, the students on their monitor, it displayed 2016/2017. Why is it that the result that was sent to the students showed 2015/2016?

“From our findings from insiders in JAMB, we realized that the software of 2015/2016 interfered with the 2016/2017, which led to the massive failure of the students. If you can see the trend of results from (February) 27 to 29, the students failed; (March) 7-15, the students failed massively.

“But we noticed that the 27-29 were compensated with 40 marks still under the interference of software. We can see that the 2015/2016 software was used to mark, that was why the students were receiving 2015/2016 results. So where is 2016/2017 result? That is what we are asking Prof Dibu Ojerinde…We are saying that Prof Dibu Ojerinde should step aside.”
Though the House of Representatives has told JAMB to revert to the Paper Pencil Test (PPT) mode of the examination since the conduct of the Computer Based Test (CBT) was fraught with irregularities, Oludotun said the group was in support of the CBT because it is better.

“This Association of Tutorial School Operators, we are not against CBT. CBT has really helped to bring more students to tutorial centres. It makes them to be serious; and we have taught them. But for CBT, the whole JAMB exam would have been messed up. Because before CBT, it will only take you N2,000 for Cyber café to send the answers to you. So I want to say that we appreciate the professor for introducing the CBT; and we are in support of CBT,” he said.
However, he called for Ojerinde to step aside so someone else would build on the foundation he has laid to conduct hitch free examinations.
Responding to ATSO’s allegations of software mishap, Dr. Fabian Benjamin, JAMB’s Director of Media and Public Relations, said whether 2010 or 2019 software was used, what was important was the programming and not the marking guide.

“I am not a programmer, but I can confirm to you that JAMB does not joke with its template. What happened with the 40 marks issue is because the scripts were marked based on 250 marks because only English Language is 100 while the other three papers carry 50 marks, making a total of 250.

“So when the first results were released, they were calculated based on 250, and after normalization we felt it would not be ideal for us to cheat on the candidates. So we had to quickly send them their real scores,” Benjamin stated.

He refuted claims that the House Committee on Education had ordered the board to revert to PPT. Onl the contrary, he said the committee praised JAMB for introducing the CBT.

“The House never considered ordering the examinationn to revert to PPT; individual members only raised suggestions,” he said.

EducationJAMB Has Embarrassed Education Minister, Adamu - Official by stoicguy(op): 10:15am On Mar 23, 2016
[img]http://www.olisa.tv/wp-content/uploads/2015/10/Adamu-Adamu.jpg[/img] https://www.newsexpressngr.com/images/news/Adamu%20Adamu%20with%20caption_1.jpg
https://www.ngrguardiannews.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/11/Adamu.jpg

A top official of the Federal Ministry of Education, who pleaded anonymity has told the Daily Times in an exclusive chat that the Minister of Education, Mallam Adamu Adamu, had scolded the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) over the shoddy conduct of this years’ examination and the myriad of controversies that have been trailing the exercise.

The official also disclosed that the Minister is preparing to make appropriate representations to the Federal Executive Council to effect a leadership change at the agency.



‘’Ojerinde’s time appears to be running out fast at JAMB, not with the controversies this time including failure in the technology, late upload of released results, wrong posting of scores with some candidates being awarded greater than what they actually scored while others had their scores downgraded,’’ the official said.

As if corroborating the above concerns, JAMB Registrar, Prof. Dibu Ojerinde, admitted that challenges associated with Computer Based Test were partly technical which in time will be addressed.

Addressing journalists on the conduct of the 2016 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examinations, the JAMB Registrar urged Nigerians to embrace the Computer Based test as a benefit to the Nigerian child and also work with the board to ensure its success.

Prof. Ojerinde, who said it is becoming a war conducting examinations in Nigeria following the activities of owners of special centers, accused proprietors of tutorial schools of being behind the protests which was recently carried out by candidates of the last UTME, who stormed the Lagos State House of Assembly recently to protest alleged maltreatment by JAMB in the examination.
