Breaking!!! JAMB Change of Institution and Course is on

This is to inform all 2017 JAMB candidates that JAM has re-enabled the portal for the change of course and institution as well as data correction.

All candidates who wish to effect changes on either their course institution or their bio-data can proceed to do so at the closest JAMB CBT accredited centre.

You can also correct your Bio-data which include your name, date of birth, gender, state and local government of origin.

Here Are The Common Mistakes Students Make During Examination

You might have written the examination perfectly but you have failed to take note of some mistakes that cost you lots of mark. This is one of the reasons why students fail examinations. What are these costly mistakes you need to avoid during examination? See the list below

• READING THE WRONG QUESTION

There is no way you can give the correct answer to the wrong question. What do I mean by this? Take a look at some of the questions that involves the word “NOT”. You might be asked, “Which of the following is not a verb?” and you are provided with the options (a) Read (b) Book (c) Jump (d) Write.

A lot of student will choose option A immediately without checking other options. Why? Because they thought the question was “Which of the following is a verb?”.

I was once a victim of this occurrence. I discovered it is due to fear or being in a rush while reading the question. You can read my article on “6 Sure Ways To Overcome Examination Fear”.

What to do: Read each question carefully at least twice and make sure you understand it.

• ANSWERING QUESTIONS OUTGOING OF POINT

Students fail examination because they have failed to answer questions within the required course. Some students want to explain more than required. As a result, they write out of point. You might think you will bag some bonus marks by including additional explanation but end up scoring very low.

Do not misquote! It is not a bad idea giving additional information in your answers but ensure you do not write out of point . You might be writing something meaningful but does not fit into the question asked.

While some markers like this, most don’t . Since you don’t know the type of person that will mark your examination, the best thing to do is to avoid it.

What to do: Don’t write unnecessary information unless it is within the course of the question. Ensure you write answers that suits the questions asked.

• ATTEMPTING DIFFICULT QUESTIONS FIRST

Another costly mistake students make is leaving simple questions untouched and attempting difficult ones first. This is a very bad idea that you should not even think of. You might be thinking “Why shouldn’t I solve harder ones when my brain is not stressed and come back to the easier ones?”. Take a look at some of the reasons why you should not do it below.

-It wastes your time.

-If you solve easier ones first and you are at least sure of getting them right, it keeps your body motivated and improve your brain function to solve difficult ones.

-If you solve difficult ones first and you don’t get them, you become frustrated that you won’t be able to solve even the so-called easier ones.

-Ask yourself, what is the probability of getting the difficult questions right when eventually you don’t have time to solve simpler questions.

Have you now seen the reason why you should not solve difficult questions first and the negative effects of doing so?

What to do : Solve easier questions first. It will help you to bag enough marks and save time to come back to difficult ones.

• LACK OF PROPER TIME PLANNING

Time planning is another factor you must consider during examinations. Take a look at the JAMB that was just concluded where candidates are given 120minutes to solve 180 questions. This means that candidates have two-third minute(40seconds) to solve each question.

Depending on the subject, you might decide to use 60seconds for calculation-based subjects like Physics and Mathematics and 20-30seconds for theory-based subjects.

As the case might be, lack of time planning is another common mistake students are found guilty of. Students use more that the proposed time for each question.

As a result, they waste their time only to be left without a lot of question with with little time to solve them. This which I won’t want you to fall victim of is what you must consider.

What to do : Do proper research on the number of question and amount of time that will be given. Plan your time and don’t use more than the proposed time on each question.

If you discover you are wasting too much time on a question, move on to the next question. You must ensure you come back to it when you are through with other questions.

• YOU FAILED TO CROSS-CHECK

No man is born mistake-free. Students are liable to make mistakes during examination. The real mistake however is when student fail to correct their mistakes.

Have you ever written an examination that you felt you should cross-check and something tells you you don’t need to?. This might be because you are in a rush or you want to do something after the examination. Don’t make this mistake!

What to do : Ensure you cross-check your answers to see if there is any mistakes.

NOTE : Don’t be in a rush while cross-checking, take your time!.

• NOT HEEDING INSTRUCTIONS

Students also make the the mistake of neglecting instruction during examination. You might think examiners don’t take it serious, but yes they do!. Each instruction given to you in the examination hall determines whether you pass or not.

What to do: Always heed instructions. Don’t start when you are not told to, if you are told to answer 4 questions, don’t attempt 5questions.

JAMB yet to open portal for UTME candidates to correct personal data

Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) MB has not opened its portal for candidates in the 2017 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) to effect change of course or correction of data, an official has said. The Head of Media and Information of JAMB, Dr Fabian Benjamin, told the Newsmen in Lagos on Thursday that many candidates bombarded the Lagos office of the organisation for these purposes. 

Benjamin said that reports reaching the headquarters of the board indicated that a large crowd of candidates on Wednesday besieged the board’s Lagos office. He said the development was creating unnecessary anxiety and chaos where there should be none. “This announcement became necessary following the crowd in our offices by candidates demanding for such services. “Affected candidates are urged to remain calm as we shall contact them when the time is right. “The request for correction of data is usually from candidates, who provided wrong information while filling their application document online,’’ Benjamin said. According to him, the change of institutions is for those who are considering other preferences other than their initial choices. 

He noted that the candidates were misled to believe that the board had started such services and would soon close. He said that when the board opened the window for correction of data and change of course it would make the announcement. He assure all candidates desirous of carrying out the correction of data or change of institution that the board would ensure that enough time was given for them to do so. Benjamin also explained that the board had not finished with the conduct of the 2017 UTME. 

“The board is still conducting examinations for those who registered late and those who could not be verified during the examination. “As such, it will be unfair to them to open window for such correction and changes at the same time. “Our reforms are meant to make our services accessible to all conveniently.’’ He also said that JAMB would decentralise the service when it eventually opened its portal for it. “We are collaborating with the University of Lagos, Yaba College of Technology and other stakeholders on this in Lagos. We will do same in other states. “This will ease the pressure on our various offices and ensure a hitch-free process.’’ More than 1.7 million candidates registered for the examination that was conducted from May 13 to May 20 nationwide. Results of majority of the candidates have been released while some others have yet to be released as the board is still scrutinising them.

JAMB: Reps want UTME registration deadline extended

T​he House of Representatives on Tuesday called for the extension of the deadline for the 2017 registration of Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME).

The house mandated its Committee on Tertiary Education and Services to liaise with the Joint Matriculation and Admission Board (JAMB) to ensure that the extension call was honoured.

This emanated from the adoption of a motion by Rep. Damburam Nuhu (Kano–APC).

In the motion, Nuhu called for one-month extension on the exercise, saying that it would create additional time for more prospective applicants to register for the examination.

He said that the slow process of the registration frustrated some applicants from registering.

According to him, some of the approved centres were registering 250 applicants at a time and most of them were not spacious and do not have adequate computers.

“Some of them have naked wires exposed and are haphazardly arranged on ordinary planks, thus lacking in safety requirement in case of an emergency,’’ Nuhu said.

He said that out of over 1.5 million secondary school students expected to register for the examination, only 600, 000 were able to register for the exercise two weeks into the one month period allotted to it.

He urged JAMB to specify requirements, including safety measures, which would qualify any centre to participate in the conduct of the UTME computer-based test.

The lawmaker also stated the need for the house to invite the JAMB Registrar, Prof. Ishaq Oloyede, to explain the proficiency of the computer-based process of registration of applicants in rural areas.

The Committee is expected to carry out the assignment within one week.

Students with less than 0.5CGPA in a session should be expelled – Pres. Buhari

President Muhammadu Buhari has instructed Vice Chancellors of the nation’s universities to expel students with less than 0.5 cumulative grade point average (CGPA) at the end of every session.

Buhari, represented by Anthony Onwuka, Minister of State for Education, made this known while speaking at the 31st convocation of the University of Port Harcourt (UNIPORT)

He said the university should not be crowded with unserious students loitering around but those who are serious about learning.

“We must stop to continue housing adventurers, who have no business remaining in the universities beyond the time specified for their studies in the universities.”

“In that wise, it is being proposed that at the end of this academic year, any student with less than 0.5 CGPA should cease to be a student of the university and should be shown the way out.

“The universities must continue to have people who are serious in what they have come to do.

“If you have less than 0.5 in your CGPA, you are out. You are out for good so that the space will be left for those who have come to do serious business.”

The government also assured Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) of its commitment to the 2009 agreement.

JAMB: Full list of CBT centres recommended for 2017 registration

The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) last Monday commenced registration of candidates for its 2017 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination, UTME.
JAMB Registrar, Prof. Is-haq Oloyede, after a meeting with owners of Computer Based Test, CBT, centres nationwide, said the exercise will be for a period of one month – March 20 to April 19, as against the previous three months period.

He said that the essence of reducing the period of registration from three months to one month was to eliminate all ills associated with prolonged registration of candidates.
To assist candidates, parents and guardians in different parts of the country locate their nearest recommended CBT centre, DAILY POST has obtained the full list which is reproduced below:

JAMB 2017: Why we reduced exam duration to 2 hours – Registrar

Registrar of the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB), Prof. Ishaq Oloyede, on Wednesday, explained why the exams umpire decided to slash one hour off the regular three hours duration candidates sit for the Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME).

He explained that the demographic population targeted for UTME had been proven to have a short-attention span and that as such keeping them for more than two hours would cause them to lose their presence of mind.

According to him, the reduction of hours was also in line with international best standards and practices where no candidate was kept in an examination such as UTME for more than two hours.

Oloyede stated this in Kaduna during the opening ceremony of a strategic planning retreat on the monitoring, supervision and evaluation of 2017 UTME with the theme: “Inclusiveness and sensitisation of key external actors”.‎

He said: “We are going to reduce the duration of the examination for this year’s UTME. You cannot keep children of this age for three hours. For their age, the maximum time you can keep them is two hours.

“So, we are considering the reduction in the time they spend because once it is more than two hours you can’t expect that they will retain their presence of mind.”

He further disclosed that a total of 240,000 candidates had so far registered for the examination which had been scheduled for May 20, barely one week after the commencement of the sale of forms which is expected to end on April 22.

Oloyede added that out of 13 commercial banks and the Nigeria Postal Service that had signified interest in the sales of the admission forms, only nine had paid for the number of application documents they required in the first instance.
