JAMB Introduces A New Book For 2017 UTME Candidates - “In Dependence”

According to the information on the official publication announced the registration details and process for 2017 UTME, a new book: “In Dependence” by Sarah Ladipo Manyika, has been introduced for candidates sitting for 2017 UTME.
Irrespective of your course of study or method of testing, you will be tested on this book.
A Little About The Book: “In Dependence”
The book is written by a Nigerian named SARAH LADIPO MANYINKA who was born in Ibadan (South West Nigeria) in the late 1930s.
"In Dependence" tells the story of Tayo Ajayi, a Nigerian man who gets a scholarship to study at Oxford in the 1960s, and Vanessa Richardson, the daughter of an ex-colonial officer. Tayo meets and falls in love with Vanessa Richardson, a British colonial officer’s daughter. And they negotiate their relationship against a background of race and racism. While it is a story of their love which spans from 1963 to 1998, it's way more than that.
It's also a story about Nigeria, its independence and the changes that occur in the country post-independence - the Biafran war, the first coup and the numerous countercoups, military dictatorships, the brief return to civilian rule, exile of Nigerians, and towards the end of the book the eventual return to democracy.
There are also issues of race, racism and cultural differences.

JAMB 2017 Registration To Last For Just 1 Month

Like you must have known already, the official commencement date of the 2017 UTME registration has been announced.
The sales of registration form will officially commence on March 20th, 2017 and end on April 19th, 2017 while the registration on JAMB's portal ends on April 22nd, 2017.
The UTME itself begins May 6th, 2017. That's exactly 2 weeks after closure of registration portal.
Apparently, JAMB has altered the timeline associated with the whole process.
In previous years, UTME sales of form and registration usually lasts for 3-5 months and the examination comes up like a month or two afterwards.
Now, we are witnessing something out of the usual. 1 month for JAMB registration and UTME commencement exactly 2 weeks after registration deadline.
How this will ultimately affect the performance of candidates and the outcome of 2017 UTME results is what we will wait to see.
Meanwhile, we would like to get your opinion on this. Do you think it is a step in the right direction and will this in any way affect candidates?

Today, JAMB meets WAEC, NECO, to fix 2017 UTME Date

JAMB has now concluded plans to fix the dates for the 2017 UTME. This was made known today by The Head, Media and Information of the board, Dr Fabian Benjamin.
Members of the JAMB board have been scheduled to meet with board members of WAEC, NECO and NABTEB on Tuesday, 17th January, to find suitable dates for the 2017 UTME.
Source - auchipolyinfo.com
Remember that the new JAMB CBT no longer holds in one day, and may require up to 2 weeks to fully test all candidates, who apply for the exam. This meeting will therefore help avoid clashes in exam dates for other exam bodies, a problem experienced in previous exams.
According to Mr. Fabian, this is the final preparation required before the Sale of 2017 UTME Registration Forms can commence.
We therefore hope that another press briefing will be conducted just after the meeting on 17th January, to reveal the possible 2017 UTME Exam Dates, and when sale of registration forms will commence.

JAMB Adopts New Method For 2017 UTME Registration

The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board has disclosed that it will deploy “pin vending” for the 2017 UTME test registration.
This was made known by the board’s Head of Media and Information, Dr Fabian Benjamin, on Wednesday.
According to him the public especially prospective UTME candidates should start getting familiar with the new system as the board will no longer make use of scratch cards.
“Candidates wishing to register for the examination will just make online payment and get a pin with which they can upload their data.
“This new pin vending will be accessible through the options of web payment, ATM issued cards like Visa, Verve, and Master card, online Quick Teller, mobile application and Bank Branch case/card.”
He further mentioned that the board is working to ensure that some of the challenges experienced during the 2016 UTME won't re-occur in 2017 UTME.
He however added that is it does not mean that the examination will be totally hitch free.
The spokesman also said that the board would begin validation of UTME centres across the country soon to ensure they are up to standard.

JAMB Effectively Scraps Scratch Cards, Redesigns Website

Remember when
JAMB earlier promised to scrap the use of scratch cards ? Well, we can now confirm that the board has now officially effected the scrapping of use of scratch cards, and has further redesigned it's portal to cater for the new changes.
The change is really here! All previous scratch cards have now been invalidated. So if you previously had any scratch card, USED or UNUSED, you can no longer use them on the new portal. Even if you would like to re-print your result slip or JAMB admission letter, you will need repay to do that. If you initially saved the document somewhere, good for you. All Myschoolers, who requested this service through us however, are immune to this, as you can always log into your account here and re-print for free.
With the new system in place, candidates will now be required to have internet enabled ATM cards to be able to print their JAMB result slips, Admission letter or use any e-facility. Parents can also help their children make payments, BUT if you have more than one Child, you will need to choose which of them you would like to purchase a service for, as 1 account can only process services for 1 JAMB registration number. This simply means if you purchase JAMB result slip for JAMB registration number 12345678AB, you can purchase JAMB admission letter and other services for only 12345678AB. It is therefore advisable for candidates themselves to create a JAMB account using their emails and phone numbers, right from Registration (From 2017 UTME).
As for scratch card vendors, cafe operators, business centres, the new JAMB system has been designed to limit or totally prevent multiple requests from different JAMB registration numbers. You will therefore have to find alternatives or maybe register as an accredited JAMB centre. Whether or not this restriction will be lifted to allow candidates, who don't have bank account an option, only time will tell.
The portal seems to still be under construction, as we see some facilities are either not yet active or contain certain errors.
Some of the systems currently described above may change as the 2017 UTME registration draws closer, but until then, JAMB no longer uses scratch cards. Period!

Senate Suspends Move To Extend Validity Of JAMB Result

Report has emerged that the Senate has suspended the move to amend the Act establishing the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB).
With this development, the extension of JAMB result validity has also been put on hold.
This was disclosed by the spokesperson of the board, Dr. Fabian Benjamin.
According to him, the Chairman, Senate Committee on Basic and Secondary Education, Aliyu Wamakko, represented by Senator Ajayi Boroffice, announced this during an oversight visit to its Headquarters.
It was learnt that the Senate has suspended the idea to allow for adequate consultation with experts and to ensure that the progress being made by JAMB in the conduct of examination is not impeded.
“Your JAMB result is only valid for one year and we thought it would be better for it to be valid for at least three years. That would reduce the burden on the parents, students and even the institution that is conducting the test. I think it is good for all of us and would not be rejected by the public.
“We don’t make laws for an individual or for the Senate. But we make laws for the country in the interest of all of us. A bill must not necessarily be at the convenience of a particular organization. Since we don’t want to make a law that would impede the progress of any institution, we are bound to listen to what the stakeholders are saying.” Wamakko stated
Reacting to this, the Registrar/Chief Executive of JAMB, Prof. Is-haq Oloyede, commended the Senate for listening to his appeal and called on the House of Representatives and the Executive to equally do the same by suspending the amendment of the JAMB Act.

JAMB To Stop Setting Uniform Cut-off Mark For Universities, Polytechnics And COE's

The Registrar, Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB), Is-haq Oloyede, has stated that the board is working with the Federal Government to achieve the needed change in the education sector through its policy reforms.

According to a statement made by the JAMB boss through the board’s Head, Media and Information, Fabian Benjamin, one of such reforms it carried out recently was the cancellation of the use of scratch cards as part of its examination process.
The statement added that Mr. Oloyede has called for a national debate on the issue of standard cut-off marks for institutions; stating that institutions should be allowed to determine the kind of candidates they wanted .

In his opinion, making the cut-off mark uniform for universities, polytechnics and Colleges of education does not make sense since universities admits for degrees, polytechnics for Diplomas and Colleges of education for NCE
He said this has hindered polytechnics and colleges of education form admitting candidates they ought to have admitted.

Have You Confirmed Your 2016 Admission Status On JAMB Portal? Click Here To Check | Please Share

The Joint Admission and Matriculation Board (JAMB) earlier enabled the portal for candidates to check their 2016/2017 admission status.

However it seems many candidates have not received favourable response as it concerns their admission status going by the fact that we gave not seen testimonies coming from candidates in that regard.
We would like candidates who have confirmed their admission status to share it here as this will help verify if JAMB has actually uploaded the names of admitted candidates and equally clear the doubts of many candidates.

If you have confirmed your admission status, please share your admission details (that is the course and the institution you have been admitted to study).

According to him this will likely become effective from 2017.
He added that once this becomes effective, students would generate a PIN number for themselves from their phone or computers before registering for examinations.

He frowned at situations whereby banks and vendors hoard the cards, only to sell them at a higher price.

He equally charged NASU members to involve in the ownership of Computer-Based Testing Centres, saying those who own the centres are businessmen merely exploiting students.

JAMB Will Not Allow Institutions To Reject Candidates Unreasonably [Click Here To Read]

The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has disclosed that it will not allow institutions to reject candidates arbitrarily or as result of sudden change in admission criteria.
This was made known by the Registrar, Professor Is-haq O. Oloyede during the extra ordinary technical committee meeting on 2016 admissions to first choice institutions at Baze University, Abuja.
According to him, “JAMB will not accept whatever is done arbitrarily and I hope those that are here will make adjustment. They must be able to explain why somebody with high score was not taken. I have a particular school where the person who scored the highest marks was not taken and the reason was because the university changed its rules. You cannot change the rules when the game is on. You have to wait until 2017 to publish the new rules; you cannot have a particular rule and changed to another.”
He further mention that the admission criteria by institutions must be reasonable, explicit and must have been published in the 2016 admission brochure.
He equally stated that it is wrong for any institution to admit candidates beyond its carrying capacity and called on institutions that were yet to update their requirements for the 2017 brochure to urgently do so.

The Registrar of the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB), Prof Is-haq Oloyede, has said the Board would ensure the conclusion of the 2016/2017 admission into tertiary institutions by the approved deadline of November 30.
Oloyede, the immediate past Vice-Chancellor of the University of Ilorin, gave this assurance last Monday while declaring open the 2016 Technical Committee Meeting on Admission into the First Choice of Institutions at the Bayero University, Kano.
At the meeting attended by Admission Officers of tertiary institutions in the country, Oloyede assured them that the Board would not usurp their powers to admit.
The JAMB Registrar said admission would only be based on specified national policies.
“It must be made categorically clear that the task of JAMB is coordination and not substitution of the traditional responsibilities of the Senates/Academic Boards of tertiary institutions.
“Consequently, no candidate must emanate from any other source (JAMB inclusive) outside the list prepared and recommended by the institutions. JAMB has the right to reject candidates for non-compliance with extant rules and regulations but will not be allowed to substitute or originate any names without the prior concurrence of the institutions” he said.
Oloyede listed the national policies to include: guidelines stipulated by the proprietors of the institutions; 60:40 (Science/Arts) ratio for conventional universities; 80:20 (Science/Arts) ratio for non-conventional universities; 70:30 (Technology/Non-Technology) ratio for National Diploma Awarding Institutions; Use of 2016 JAMB UTME results printouts for all candidates who scored 180 and above; adherence to subject combinations of various courses as specified by the Senate/Academic Board and included in the 2016 UTME Brochure; adherence to the 2016 Admissions Quota as prescribed by the regulatory bodies (NUC/NBTE/NCCE); and for Federal universities, the criteria stipulated by the Federal Executive Council concerning Merit, Catchment and Educationally Less Developed States.
“In the discharge of this national assignment, it is important that we act with focus on what is beneficial to the largest number of Nigerians. We must avoid adding to the burden of the masses of our people who rightly yearn for higher education as a veritable means of active participation in public life,” he further stressed.
While urging Admission Officers to work hard and exhibit commitment, synergy and cooperation between JAMB and their various institutions, Oloyede assured them that he would strengthen the work of his predecessors, especially Prof. ‘Dibu Ojerinde, who lifted the Board to an enviable standard of international repute.
