JAMB has released the 2013 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) results.

The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has released the 2013 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) results.

The board, however, withheld 12,110 results for possible disciplinary action.

The Registrar of JAMB, Prof. Dibu Ojerinde, announced this at a news conference on the release of the results in Bwari, FCT, on Friday.

The registrar said after thorough processing of answer scripts of the candidates who sat for the examination, the board discovered some forms of malpractice perpetuated during the conduct of the examination.

“However, the results of 68,309 candidates from various centres are undergoing further screening to ascertain the culpability of 12,110 candidates’ results.“

A total of 1,629,102 candidates applied to sit for the Paper Pencil Test (PPT), while 15,008 candidates applied for the Dual Based Test, bringing the number of candidates to 1,644,110.

“The general performance of candidates in this year’s examination shows remarkable improvement compared with last year.

“Ten candidates scored 300 marks and above, while 127,017 candidates scored between 1-159 marks.

“About 40,692 candidates’ results were invalid due to either multiple shading or no shading at all. After processing all the results, the board also discovered that about 47,974 candidates were absent.“

The registrar assured the candidates that their results could be accessed on the JAMB Website: www.myjambresult.com using their registration numbers.

He said about 40 centres would be screened to ascertain their culpability and warned the public against Internet fraudsters.

“Information reaching JAMB shows Internet fraudsters are already telling candidates that their results could be upgraded in one form or the other. “

This is pure deceit, the public and candidates are hereby advised to disregard these fraudsters since they do not have access to our data.

“Let me once again state that candidates are allowed to change their choices of institutions and courses once only, this change has to be effected within two weeks from today. “

Ojerinde said the Computer Based Test (CBT) is scheduled to take place from May 18 to June 1 and appealed to candidates to reprint their e-registration slips afresh to further ascertain their CBT centres.

Also, the Getadmitted Team has made available their POST UTME Past questions and answers ebooks for UNIZIK, UNN, UNICAL, UNIBEN, OAU ETC. To get a copy of the ebook, call 08060173471 or 07014223518.

FG set to scrap NECO, cancels UTME


Federal Government has concluded arrangements to scrap the National Examination Council.
Plans have also been concluded to cancel the Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination being conducted by the Joint Admission and Matriculation Board for applicants into the nation’s tertiary institutions.
JAMB will however not be scrapped.
The government’s decisions, which would be made public soon via a White Paper, are based on the recommendations of the Stephen Oronsaye-led Presidential Committee on the Rationalisation and Restructuring of Federal Government Parastatals, Commissions and Agencies.
A government source told our  correspondent that the decisions were part of the recommendations made by a White Paper Committee set up by the government on the Oronsaye report.
The source added that upon receipt of the latest report, President Goodluck Jonathan has been meeting with Vice-President Namadi Sambo and a few top government officials to take final decisions on it.
It was in one of such meetings held on Tuesday that the final decision was taken.
Under the new arrangement, the source said in place of UTME, authorities of all tertiary institutions would now be at liberty to conduct their entrance examinations as they had been doing for post-UTME.
JAMB will however serve as a clearing house.
“JAMB will now be a clearing house like Universities and Colleges Admissions Service in the UK. If somebody gains admission into three universities and holds down space, immediately such person picks his first choice, JAMB’s system will automatically free the remaining two slots for other applicants.
“JAMB will no longer conduct examinations but it will be setting the standard alongside the schools authorities,” the source said.
UCAS, which was  established in 1993, is the British admission service for students applying to university and college, including post-16 education as of 2012. UCAS is primarily funded by students who pay a fee when they apply and a capitation fee from universities for each student they accept.
On NECO, the source said in arriving at the decision to scrap the examination body, the committee took into cognizance its huge facilities across the country.
But it was resolved that the West African Examination Council would absorb NECO’s members of staff and its facilities.
WAEC will also be empowered to conduct two Senior Secondary School Certificate Examinations per year, one in January and the other probably in December.
Hitherto, only one November/December SSCE Examination is being conducted.
The May/June Senior Secondary Certificate Examination being organised by the examination body once in a year still stands.
The government source also said arrangements had been concluded to scrap the Public Complaint Commission, the National Poverty Eradication Programme and the Institute of Peace and Conflict Resolution among others.

REASONS WHY NIGERIAN STUDENTS FAIL TO GET ADMITTED:



There Are Basically, three observable reasons why 70% of Nigerian Students fail to gain admission each year into a Nigerian University of Polytechnics, and they are highlighted below:
•. The National Universities Commission (NUC): who gave a very little admission slots to each University,
as a result of the poor standard of their facilities and Equipments.
•. The Federal Government of Nigeria(FGN): who have failed to Intensify efforts, in providing more facilities so as to increase the admission slots given to each Universities by the NUC.
•. The Nigerian Students: who have failed to make the right selection of Institutions and course of study according to their abilities and most ESPECIALLY, ACCORDING TO THEIR STATES OF ORIGIN.
Do you know that 55% of all admission offered in these Nigerian Universities are based on the applicants state of Origin, In every given year, with only 45% available on merit?
Do you know that a total of six hundred and twenty three thousand and sixty nine(623,069) applicants
out of the 1.5million who applied for the 2012 JAMB UTME are currently seeking admission from only 11 Universities, with a total carrying capacity, not exceeding 70,000 persons. This means that over 554,000 persons would not beadmitted, and would also purchase the next JAMB UTME form, increasing the number of applicants? It is obvious that even if Everyone cross the 300 mark, some other procedures would be introduced to screen students out simply because, THE NIGERIAN INSTITUTIONS CAN ONLY ADMIT ABOUT 30% OF THESE APPLICANTS. I hope you can avoid making the same mistakes, made by other admission seeking applicants, Its not the University or Polytechnics fault that they were not admitted, Its simply because these applicants, WERE NOT ENLIGHTED, on these processes of admission.
