It was learnt that some candidates who are displeased with the conduct of the Joint Admissions Matriculation Board, JAMB, took to the streets of Lagos and Ilorin yesterday to protest.

The Joint Admissions Matriculation Board (JAMB) went a step higher in 2013 with the Computer Based Test (CBT). For most of us, this was a necessary and timely innovation on their part. Most Nigerians are either giving a bow or a round of applause to the JAMB team.

The agitations from candidates may have started yielding fruits as the House of Representatives has asked the Federal Ministry of Education to direct the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) to revert to pencil-paper method in the conduct of UTME or adopt both PPT and CBT so that candidates can opt for any one of their choice.

Report reaching us has it that the senate has passed a resolution which stipulates that the registration fee for Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination conducted by JAMB yearly will henceforth stand at Two Thousand, Five Hundred Naira (2,500) as against the current Five Thousand six hundred and fifty Naira (5,650) This followed the adoption of the report of the Senate Committee on Tertiary Institutions and TETFund on the inquiry into the new JAMB admission policy. Other resolutions reached include that the validity of the UTME Result be extended to three academic sessions and that other JAMB services like the change of Course and institution be made free. The senators also resolved to amend the JAMB Act to reflect the new resolutions. The question now is; will JAMB be willing to comply with these resolutions? So while we commend the senate for these resolutions, we equally urge them to ensure that JAMB implement them because that's what truly matters.

A man has been arrested in connection with impersonation in the ongoing Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination Conducted by JAMB. According to reports, the man was caught attempting to sit for the examination for a girl. While speaking on the issue of impersonation, the JAMB Registrar, Professor Dibu Ojerinde, said that the issue of malpractice has been drastically reduced. However impersonation is still a major problem. "people want to come in and do the exams for others. However, the fingerprints of candidates are scanned at the entrance and their pictures appear on the computer and you can’t escape that. We caught some impersonators in Anambra or Imo State. They swapped seats, we saw a girl on the screen and a man sitting." He said.

Let us know your previous score and your new score. Also, please let us know when you wrote your exam so we know if it's general for everyone or just a particular set.

When will Nigeria ever progress? Can you imagine that candidates writing today at St. Rita Innovative Institute Fegge Onitsha Anambra were told to go back and wait for 2 days, all because of poor computer and server issues. JAMB knew about this at the initial stage and still went ahead to accredit the center. On reaching today the computer server was very bad that they couldn't conduct the exam for both 6:30 and 9:30 candidates. We were asked to relax and go home that they will send us our new centers and dates. What nonsense!!! seriously something must be done about this whole thing.

As candidates continue to lament their challenges in the on going UTME, some candidates have complained that some of the questions on English Language were wrong as the answers are not available in the options given. According to the candidates, JAMB should put this into consideration when marking and grading them so it doesn't affect their scores negatively. However, when contacted, the Public Relations Officer, JAMB, Dr. Fabian Benjamin, said the portion in question is the comprehension part whereby they have to fill in the gaps. “You know these students are in a hurry to finish and most of them don’t take their time to go through the questions. Even some candidates in one of the centers I visited pointed out that to me and I had to explain to them that in comprehension, you have to fill in the gaps. I can assure you that JAMB didn’t make any mistake when setting the questions.” He emphasized.
