JAMB 2017 Candidates Warned Against Purchasing Fake UTME Forms

THE Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has warned prospective candidates against purchasing fake UTME application forms or falling victim to fraudsters as the sales of the 2017 UTME form has not commenced.

This was coming from JAMB’s Head of Media and Publicity, Dr Fabian Benjamin on Monday.

According to him, “the examination body is yet to begin the sales of the 2017 UTME form.” Prospective candidates Benjamin who appealed for patience from the public, explained that JAMB was putting finishing touches to the arrangements for a hitch free outing, adding, “the board would adequately sensitise the public before the sale begins.” His words: “We do not want a repeat of what had been happening before and during registration this year.

He called on candidates to always visit the Board's official website for credible information.

Meanwhile it was learnt that some cyber cafes and tutorial centres have already started selling fake forms to candidates and many candidates have already fallen victims to this fraud.

JAMB O' Level / UTME Subjects Requirements To Consider Before Choosing A Course

The 2017 UTME registration is expected to commence soon. Already, many candidates are eagerly waiting for the announcement. However, only a few have taken time to decide on the course of study to apply for.

In deciding a course of study, there are few things you should bear in mind;

First, you need to consider if you have interest or academic aptitude for the course you wish to apply for.
Another is, to verify if the course you intend to study is offered in the institution you are applying to. You are also to verify the accreditation status of that course in such institution.

Most importantly, you need to verify if you meet the O’level and UTME Subjects requirements for that particular course.
Each course of study has a specific O’level and UTME Subjects requirements you must meet before you are admitted to study that course. What works for an Engineering course won’t work for a medical course.

Many UTME Candidates often make the mistake of choosing a course that they do not meet the requirements for during UTME registration. Thereby disqualifying themselves of admission from the onset. No school can admit you to study a course you do not have the requirements for.

Even if your name appears on the admission list, you will be disqualified during the screening, verification or clearance process.

Like I mentioned earlier, the UTME registration for 2017 is yet to commence. If I were you, this is the time I would use to make the decision concerning which course of study to choose when the registration begins.

It will show you the courses available in each higher institution, the O’level and UTME Subject combination or requirements for the courses.

If you are still a bit confused about the O’level requirements of the course you wish to study in any institution. You can post the institution, course, your O’level subjects and UTME Subjects you intend to sit for.

JAMB Candidates should Not Choose Unauthorized Courses In Specialized Varsities - FG

The Federal Government has warned specialized institutions in the country, which have been running programmes that are not in conformity with their mandates, to stop such with immediate effect.

In a statement on Sunday, the government directed that such universities should stick to their core mandates for which they were set up and desist from running programmes which have no bearing to their names and foundation.

It described as unfortunate a situation where universities of agriculture offered programmes in Law and management courses such as Accounting, Banking and Finance, Business Administration, among others, and most of these institution go as far as changing the nomenclature of the courses, a situation where they have now have Banking Engineering, Accounting Technology among others.

The statement by the spokesman for the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board, Dr. Fabian Benjamin, stated that the Minister of Education, Mallam Adamu Adamu, had directed JAMB “to delete all such courses on its portal.”

He added that all candidates desirous of sitting the 2017 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination, the statement advised, “should not be hoodwinked into such programmes as they are illegal and are not provided for in JAMB brochure.

He described specialised universities as those set up to pursue specific courses and programmes to generate manpower in particular sectors of the economy.

He said, “Some of these specialised institutions include universities of agriculture, universities of technologies and universities of medicine, amongst others.

The Federal Government has observed that these institutions have derailed from their statutory responsibilities, thereby running programmes that are antithetical to their mandates.

The government notes the unfortunate situation where Universities of Agriculture offer programmes in Law, management courses such as Accounting, Banking and Finance, Business Administration, among others.

It described this as aberration which must stop with immediate effect.

JAMB To Start Sales of 2017 UTME Forms In Few Days - See Cost

We're expecting the sale of JAMB forms for the 2017 UTME to begin in a few days. This deduction is inevitable, since any further delay could cause a serious upset in the Academic Calendar for 2017.

It should be noted that JAMB forms for previous years usually go on sale as from November. The delay in the Sale of 2017 JAMB Form is attributed to the change in JAMB leadership and determination by JAMB to limit middle men (cybercafes & business centres), and push down the cost of JAMB services, by introducing new payment methods.

According to earlier reports released by JAMB, the cost of the 2017 JAMB Registration Form are as follows;

1. JAMB Form - N5,000
2. CBT Centre Registration Fee - N700
3. JAMB Mandatory Textbook - N500 (The Last Days at Forcados High School, A. H. Mohammed)

Total of N6,200 Only

Once details of the 2017 JAMB forms are released, you can be rest assured that MxCrib will provide you with proper guidelines for a successful registration.

Meanwhile, ensure you already know the Course you Intend to study, or register for, and the proper subject combinations to gain admission.

JAMB CBT Centres Have Helped Curb Exam Malpractices - CPAN

The President, Computer-Based Test Centre Proprietors Association of Nigeria (CPAN), Engineer Sage Udibuami, has described the introduction of Computer-based Test (CBT) by the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB), as one giant stride, which has drastically reduced the spate of examination malpractices in the country.

Udibuami, who stated this at the association’s maiden press conference, held lat weekend in Abuja, blamed the high rate of exam malpractices on gross moral decadence.

He stated that the adoption of CBT as a strategy to eradicate all forms of malpractices in UTME exams has impacted positively on the nation’s educational sector and beyond, he said the CPAN has no regret partnering with JAMB.

SEE ALSO: JAMB CBT Centre Ownership Application Portal Still Available

He disclosed that they have successfully conducted the UTME exams for three years, he further explained that their decision to invest in CBT is to help close the gap of infrastructural deficit in various Centres national wide, following JAMB’s outcry.

According to Udibuami, “CPAN has made tremendous impact through CBT as exam cheating has been curbed. There’s no more leakage of question papers, swapping of answer cheats and above all results are now released within 24 hours.” he warned that the body will not hesitate to identify and expose any of its members involved in exam malpractice.

He advocated that more CBT Centres should be established in Cross River, Jigawa, Borno, Benue, Ekiti and Osun States respectively to enable major stakeholders and philanthropist make positive inputs as well as maintaining the capacity of the CPAN to conduct over 600,000 examination daily for candidates in 650 centres with no fewer than 250 computers.

JAMB CBT Centre Ownership Application Portal Still Available

The registration portal for individual interested in becoming JAMB accredited CBT Centres is still available on JAMB portal.

The deadline for registration was earlier announced to be 12 December, 2016.

JAMB Registrar, Prof. Ishaq Oloyede disclosed this at an interactive meeting held at the University Of Lagos, with the operators of CBT centres drawn from across the federation.

He noted that the new process has completely phased out cybercafé operators, adding that the computer-based centres to be accredited must have 250 desktop or laptop systems in a single room with provision for additional 25 systems as back-ups.

The board also informed the CBT operators that all the 10 fingers of candidates must be captured, and that anyone whose whole 10 fingers cannot be captured by the CBT centres should be directed to the headquarters of JAMB in Abuja, he added that this was done to avoid multiple registration by candidates.

The meeting, which was attended by thousands of computer operators from across the country, witnessed debates among participants on several issues including the suggestion for the cancellation of UTME mobile applications.

ABUSE BY APPROVED CBT CENTRES AND CYBER CAFÉ OPERATORS
 It has been observed by the Board, that in the past, there were lots of irregularities during registration of candidates. Some of which are as follows:

1. IRREGULARITIES OBSERVED

 Off-line registration means that candidates are given template form to fill and enter their details and the Registration centres would later enter their data for them on-line at a later time when the candidates were not present.
 Registration Centres did off-line registration for candidates and in the process of completing them on-line, mismatched their images and made mistakes in the candidates’ data.
 Registration Centres deliberately went to the hinterland to register candidates off-line in order to create Special Centres where they could further perpetrate Irregularities during examinations.
 Punish uncompromising candidates by changing their centres and/or institutions without their knowledge/consent.
 Swapped and replaced particulars of uncompromising candidates with others and used money paid for other candidates.

MEASURES TAKEN BY THE BOARD
 Payment for access code by Registration Centres has been cancelled. All systems in the Registration Centre will be enabled for the registration.
 None of these systems therefore can be used for registration outside the Registration Centre.
 Candidates will now have access to all the systems at the Computer Based Test (CBT) Centre for the registration exercise.

 This is unlike before where only one system was used by the Computer Based Test (CBT) Centre for registration.
 Candidates will be properly educated to understand that their registration numbers are private and security numbers which they must not divulge.
 Any candidate who discloses his/her registration number, does so at his/her own risk.
 An alert system has been created for notifications on changes in the candidates details at each stage of the registration process.

ACCOUNTABILITY IN REGISTRATION CENTRES
 Registration Centres are hereby urged to appoint credible staff to man their Centre to ensure credibility and accountability.
 It has also been observed that some Public Registration Centres refused registration because of “low return”.
 These returns are not low as claimed but officers in charge do not remit appropriately.

JAMB CBT Centre Ownership Application Deadline 2017
