    2017 UTME: JAMB dismisses extension rumours as exam ends today

    About 19,950 candidates will today (Saturday) participate in the Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination, UTME as the one-week examination rounds off in the country.

    The Head of Information of the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board, Dr Fabian Benjamin, who disclosed this on Friday, said a total of 1,698,835 candidates had so far taken the UTME, while the 19,550 were billed for final day, Saturday.

    Benjamin, who noted that candidates should disregard some false information that JAMB was deducting marks, added that the board had watched all proceedings at the CBT centres across the country and any infraction would be sanctioned in accordance with the provision of the examination malpractice act.

    He said, “The Board has not deducted any marks from any candidate and is not contemplating doing that as it is not a condition for sanction in any of the provisions of the law against malpractice.

    Again, we call on all candidates to be mindful of fraudulent characters who will send misleading information to create panic. The Board will be concluding the 2017 examination on Saturday. The Board has conducted examination for a total of 1,698,835 candidates and the remaining 19,950 candidates will be sitting for the last day on Saturday.

    Registration has not been extended except for those who had PINs but couldn’t register as of May 5 when we closed registration. This category of Nigerians is allowed to register and a date will be set aside for them to take their examination.”

    UTME 2017: Interested candidates can still register – JAMB

    …denies rumour of marks deduction

    The Registrar of the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB), Prof. Ishaq Oloyede, has confirmed that interested applicants can still register for the ongoing Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME).

    Oloyede made this statement during his visit to a CBT centre in Lagos.

    He said he got a mandate from the Senate few weeks ago to increase the UTME registration period by one month, which would lapse on May 28 when the board will finally close its registration portal.

    “As I speak, we have registered additional 1,100 candidates,” he said.

    TheNewsGuru.com reports that JAMB had released 1,048,914 results out of the 1,648,429 candidates writing the ongoing UTME.

    The Registrar also said the candidates have not done badly going by the results released so far, and said that fingerprints may no longer be required in subsequent UTME registrations.

    Meanwhile, the examination body has denied rumour of deductions in candidates’ marks in the ongoing exam.

    Dr Fabian Benjamin, the Head of JAMB Information and Media, denied the reports in a statement in Abuja.

    According to Benjamin, the rumour is false, devilish and a ploy to cause disaffection among candidates who participated in the 2017 UTME.

    “It is no longer news that all our centres have CCTV camera and we have watched all proceedings at the Computer Based Test (CBT) centres across the nation.

    “Those involved in any infraction will be sanctioned in accordance with the provision of the Examination Malpractice Act.

    “The board has not deducted any marks from any candidate and is not contemplating doing that as it is not a condition for sanction in any of the provisions of the law against malpractice.

    “Again, we call on all candidates to be mindful of fraudulent characters who will send misleading information to create panic and take advantage of the situation to defraud them”.

    Benjamin said that the examinations had so far been conducted for 1,698,835 candidates and that the remaining 19950 would sit for the examination on Saturday, May 20.

    He said that the board would conclude the ongoing examination on Saturday, May 20, and examination results were being released for candidates to check, except on Friday and Saturday.

    Benjamin said that report that candidates, who could not check their results because they owed JAMB some money, was also false.

    He advised candidates not to pay any money to anybody as their results had already been sent to their mails and on the JAMB website: http://www.jamb.org.ng

    Benjamin advised candidates to login to check the result with their registration number or with email address to print.

    He urged candidates with any challenge not to hesitate to contact the board or check the organisation’s Website for detailed information and numbers for enquiries.

  • 200 IDPs register for UTME, WAEC, NECO in Edo

    No fewer than 200 students at the Internally Displaced Persons (IDP) camp in Edo, have registered for the 2017 basic public examinations, including the University Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME).

    The Camp Coordinator, Mr Solomon Folorunsho, made this known on Tuesday in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Ohogua, Ovia North-East Local Government Area of Edo.

    Folorunso identified the other examinations as those conducted by the National Examination Council (NECO) and West Africa Examinations Council (WAEC).

    According to him, 50 IDPs are currently writing the ongoing UTME, while 75 others written the just concluded Senior Secondary Certificate Examination (SSCE) and 75 also registered for NECO.

    He said the International Christian Centre (ICC), where he is the pastor, had spent over N3 million to register the students for the examinations.

    “You may be wondering why we have less number for the UTME. We had wanted to register all of them even with the paucity of funds, but some of them wanted to see the results of their WAEC and NECO before they register for the UTME.

    “In spite of this, I am happy to say that some of them who wrote the ongoing UTME did extremely well.

    “From the scores we have gotten so far, we have had 266 and 246; in fact, many of them scored above 200. They are simply the best set of children I have had since I started this camp in 1992.”

    Folorunsho expressed gratitude to individuals and organisations that had supported the camp since it started admitting.

    He said that the ICC had been responsible for the payment of teachers’ salaries.

    “We have engaged and have been responsible for the payment of teachers who put these children through in their studies.

    “We do this from the church offering and donations from individuals. Recently however, we got some support from the Victims Support Fund.

    “We try as much as possible not to disrupt their education even in the face of paucity of fund.

    “Take for instance, we have been spending a lot to get those of them that registered for the UTME to their various centres.

    “We have most of them scattered in various parts of the state like Okada, Abudu and far distances to write their examination,” the cleric said.

  • 2017 UTME: JAMB warns candidates against absenteeism, lateness

    The Joint Admission and Matriculation Board (JAMB) said on Monday that there would be no rescheduling for any candidate that miss the examination, except on grounds beyond the candidate’s control.

    The Head, JAMB Information and Media, Dr Fabian Benjamin told newsmen on Monday in Bwari.

    He warned that the Board would not reschedule exam for any candidate who miss the examination or arrive late at the centre.

    The spokesman said that due to the strike at LAUTECH in Osogbo and Ogbomosho, candidates who were supposed to write exam there would be moved to University of Ilorin.

    He said the rumour making rounds about incidence of bomb blast at CBT centre in Borno was false, saying that exam held in all centres of the state.

    According to him, JAMB will not do any late registration; we have closed our registration on May 5, but for candidates who obtained pins and were unable to register, we allowed such people.

    “So it has always been our practice, we closed the sales, but those that have obtained pins and for one reason or the other could not register, we give them time to go and do their registration,” he added.

    “We have over 400, 000 candidates who are writing the UTME today, but the statistics of the result we will not give that out now, because the examination is still ongoing.

    “We have not even done up to 50 per cent yet, so it will be unfair for us to begin to release the candidates’ performance.

    “So, it is until we finish the exam, then we will sit down and put everything together and come up with statistics and detail results,” Benjamin said.

  • UTME: Observers score JAMB high on first class conduct

    UTME: Observers score JAMB high on first class conduct

    The Joint Action Coalition on Education (JACE), a coalition of various obsever groups which monitored Saturday’s UTME in various parts of the country has
    commended the Joint Admissions and Matriculations Board (JAMB), for a hitch-free examination devoid of any irregularities.

    In a post UTME monitoring briefing in Lagos on Sunday, South West Zonal Co-ordinator of the group, Ayokunle Adumashin described Saturday’s UTME as “orderly and meeting set standards” in all the centres monitored by its observers deployed to various centres across the country.

    Adumashin pointed out that the adoption of Computer Based Test has further reduced the incidence of malpractices with the prospect that we will be talking about its complete elimination in future examination.

    According to him, the installation of Close Circuit Television (CCTV) cameras at the examination centres further contributed to reducing the incidence of malpractices and also complemented security arrangement for the centres.

    “JACE therefore commend the management team of JAMB as led by its Registrar, Professor Ishaq Oloyede, for the excellent handling of the 2017 UMTE. We however urge the team to carry out a holistic review of any lapses observed with a view to remedying before the next examination,” he said.
    He said despite earlier worries during UTME registration and the event that led to the postponement of the Mock Examination, Saturday’s examination was hugely successful.

    According to him the group deployed observers to cover more than 75% of the 624 designated examination centres for the 1.7 million candidates that sat for the examination.

    He said, “JACE, through its membership, was able to deploy monitors in each of the 36 states of the federation and the FCT. Our observers monitored the examination for incidents, compliance with global standards in the handling of examinations, and provision of conducive environment.

  • UTME: 57,000 candidates sit for exam on Saturday

    UTME: 57,000 candidates sit for exam on Saturday

    No fewer than 57,000 candidates sat for the 2017 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) on Saturday in 642 centres across the country.

    The Registrar of JAMB, Prof. Ishaq Oloyede, who addressed newsmen at Digital Bridge Institute, Abuja, one of the UTME centres, said four centres encountered technical problems while one was being investigated for malpractices.

    The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that Saturday marked the first day of the 2017 edition of the entrance examination into the nation’s tertiary institution in which no fewer than 1.7 million candidates are participating.

    Oloyede also said the morning session examination commenced late in some centres while it started early in others.

    “Out of 642 centres, we had problems with four in Bauchi, Kano,Uturu and Ekpoma.

    “Everything was okay, there was a little disturbance in Ekpoma and we are monitoring what is going on.

    “There was a little problem in Uturu; we are monitoring what is happening there too,’’ he said.

    He said due to the bomb blast in Maiduguri on Friday night, JAMB decided to delay the examination for a while, adding that the examination had since commenced.

    “Due to what happened over night and because of the militarisation of the campus, we had to delay the commencement of the exams in Maiduguri.

    ” Also the Seventh Day Adventist will not have exams in all the centres nationwide on Saturday,’’ he added.

    Mr Enobong Bassey, a staff of the Digital Bridge Institute, said this year’s edition of the UTME was the best so far that the institution had conducted.

    “Everything went smoothly, the examination was to start 8 am and all the students were seated by 10 minutes to eight.

    “Though a few students came late because of the grace period, they were able to write.

    “Where there was any issue with any system, there was no problem because we had sufficient backup system.

    Some of the students, who spoke to NAN, said the examination went on well and they had no challenge using the computers.

    “We have caught some of them while mischievously collecting money from candidates with the help of some security officers,’’ the JAMB boss said.
