JAMB 2017 REGISTRATION STARTS IN 2 WEEKS TIME

JAMB 2017 UTME Registration To Commence In 2 Weeks, GET STARTED...

The Registrar of the Joint Admission And Matriculation Board, Prof. Is-haq Oloyede has disclosed that the 2017 UTME registration will commence within the next two weeks.
He further mentioned that the examination itself will be coming up later in May so it won't clash with any SSCE examinations, and help the board check any form of malpractice, especially upgrading of results. 

“Normally, we conduct our examinations around March and the results will be ready within two to three days. But when do we need the results? It is always between July and August. This gives room for all forms of suspicion.

“If you go on the net, you will see people claiming that they could help candidates to upgrade their results because the results are lying fallow between March and July” 

“Now we want to shorten the period in such a way that the time between the examination and when the results will be used will be very short. There will be no opportunity for anybody to even dream of upgrading results." He stated

He equally stated that the 1.7m candidates figure was last year’s figure and bit the board do not expect less this year. "We expect about 1.5 million candidates for UTME and about 200,000 and 300,000 candidates for Direct Entry. That was how we arrived at the figure and that is the figure we are also expecting."

He further emphasized that the board is not promising a hitch free examination but promised that issues arising will be solved. 

JAMB explains why candidates can no longer apply to two public universities

The Joint Admission Matriculation Board (JAMB) has disclosed why it restricted candidates from choosing two public universities during the 2017 online registration.

Fabian Benjamin, JAMB’s Head of Media and Information, told PREMIUM TIMES on Saturday that the choice of public universities was restricted to one but candidates can choose as many colleges of education and polytechnics as they want.

The new measure by the board means that candidates may select a public university and a private university, but not two public universities.

The new update was revealed by JAMB via its official twitter handle @JambHQ on Friday.

It reads: “candidates can select NCE as their choice up to three times I.e 1st choice, 2nd choice and 3rd choice.

“But they are not allowed to select two public universities as choices. If candidates select a public university as their degree awarding choices, they are allowed to select a private university as another choice.”

Mr. Benjamin told PREMIUM TIMES that the Board took the restrictions because candidates hardly get admissions into their second and third choice universities.

“Yes we restricted the choice to one but candidates can choose as many colleges or polytechnics,” he said

We discovered it was of no use choosing a university as second choice when in actual sense they can’t even accommodate their first choices,” the JAMB official said "Candidates have however cried foul over this new information as they lamented that the board is indirectly enforcing the choice of private university on them.

The candidates also lamented due to the huge sum paid as school fees in private universities stating that they are not affordable by most Nigerian parents.

WHY THE USE OF JAMB PROFILE/PORTAL BEFORE AND AFTER UTME REGISTRATION...

JAMB NEW DATE FOR UTME 2017/2018

Are you waiting for JAMB EXAMS??? 
THEN READ THIS...

Joint Admission and Matriculation Board has given a hint as to when the 2017 UTME will be conducted.

According to the information on the Board's official twitter handle, the 2017 UTME will hold by May, 2017.

However, the actual date the examination is to commence was not specified but the information says it will be disclosed soon.

The board equally warned candidates against falling victims to fraudsters and advised them to only rely on the official information from the board.

Despite the fact that the Board is yet to announce the date for the commencement of 2017 UTME registration, I think With this, candidates can now be rest assured that the 2017 UTME will still hold and be able to prepare adequately.

So if you are among those already saying that there will be no UTME this year, better go and start reading to avoid stories that touch. for more info.. http://greatmindpub.blogspot.com.nghttp://greatmindpub.blogspot.com.ng

Have you been thinking of how to go for Cbt exams?

Are you worried that you can't be able to make it??

Do you think UTME CBT exams is meant for those who are literate in the computer world???

Are you looking for the solution to all this, then here is what we have for you @GreatMind Computer Communication.

Hi, I’m Francis Charles J.U., The C.E.O of GreatMind Computer Communication Abia, an Online Advertiser, And Educational Consultant. Here we will be looking into the Tips that we give aid during the forthcoming UTME Test and why the use of Computer Based Test.

Years ago, information came in that Nigeria Examination Board (Joint Admission and Matriculation Board) is introducing a new method of taking Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examinations (UTME) which will be centered on Computer Base and finally was launched in 2014, and it was confirmed to be steady, that’s the use of Paper and Pencil Test (PPT) is terminated, CBT all through.

Here we shall be considering the things we needed to know whenever we are set to take this exam/test in other to avoid examination malpractice, promote efficiency and maintain orderliness while in the exam hall.

WHY THE USE OF CBT

Since the Joint Admission and Matriculation board (JAMB) decided to make the annual UTME Examinations a Computer-based Test (CBT), coupled with the cancellation of Post-UTME in 2016, the best thing a prospective UTME Candidate can do is to prepare adequately for the exams using the right resources and tools.

One of the most important of such tools is the CBT Preparatory software. There are a handful of them out there but one really stands out. The advantage of using this software is so enormous, everyone preparing to sit for JAMB in 2017 or beyond must have one! Below are the reasons:

FAMILIARITY WITH CBT SOFTWARE

Because it is a relatively new way of conducting examinations, your familiarity with computer has little or no effect on it. Knowing how to operate a computer does not mean you can use every type of software easily (unless you are Einstein, lol); hence the need to practice. Also, most secondary schools in Nigeria do not expose their students practically to computers, not to talk of CBT softwares.

It will be a disaster to have read well for JAMB UTME, only to discover that you cannot operate the computer or interact with the JAMB Software while in the Examination Hall.

  

2017 JAMB CBT TUTORIALS

BRIEF HISTORY ON CBT

CBT is an acronym which stands for “Computer Based test”. It is initiated in the year 2014. Back in the years Nigeria has been trying to make a better way of taking Jamb and other exams at ease. Computer came into their mind which was said to prevent examination malpractice, activate speed rate of taking exam and also helps to equip candidate on the aspect of Computer (becoming a literate in Computer). Now CBT is one of the best way of taking exam in the Country.

 

             SOME TIP IN TAKING CBT/JAMB EXAMS

1.   Preparation tip (which comprises both physical, Academicals and Spiritual preparation).

2.   Confidence/body composure.

3.   Concentration (both in question, answer and in reading).

4.   Timing of papers (time consciousness).

PREPARATION

In this case it needs three (3) ways of preparation which includes;

•  Physical Preparation: In this preparation, it requires all the areas of physical ethics and equipment (i.e. being free from fatigue) which has caused aspirant/candidate(s) not to be present in the Examination nor caused them to misbehave in the hall which may cause their failure. Candidates are also expected to be physically equipped in the aspect of any examination writing materials apart from been physically fit.

•  Academicals Preparation: This has been the area many candidates has been focusing but at the end does not know the area to cover. Candidates are expected to make sure that they understand the area to be read and question that may arise and in all “study hard”.

•  Spiritual Preparation: 95% candidate do not have chance to acknowledge God whenever they want to write an exam, you are expected to also devote your time to God, and also read your books.

•  Confidence/Body Composure: This area has been making 75% candidates not to do well in examination hall, although it has been made a CBT. Candidates are expected to practice has with any Computer having both touchpad and external mouse so as to be conversant with it in order to do well. In CBT and also try to understand the rules of exam before writing, don’t panic and don’t neglect yourself in anything and always be careful and ask questions.

CONCENTRATION

This means having understanding area of concentration, candidates are also expected to read whenever they want to write an Exam. Finally always acknowledge God in all things.

TIMING OF PAPER (TIME CONSCIOUSNESS)

In this case, candidates are expected to always be time conscious and always time their paper while writing an exam.

For example: Jamb have mandated that candidates with four (4) subjects are expected to take their exam 3hours. Now let’s break it down. If someone have 3hrs to write 4 subjects comprising English and other three. We can do it in this way.

•  English Language (100 question) = 50mins
•  Mathematics/Economics (50 questions) = 38mins
•  Physics/Literature (50 questions) = 36mins
•  Chemistry/Government (50 questions) = 36mins

Like this you see that we have dished out a way to maximize the examination time were candidates can finish his/her exam in less than 2hrs 40mins. Then the rest of the time can now be use for confirmation and the submitting of the exams.

CBT/JAMB WAHALA

Many candidates has been neglecting themselves that CBT/Jamb is a kind of exam that is always difficult and hard to crack. Nevertheless, I charge you that CBT/Jamb exam is one of the simplest exam one have been taking even in primary School and Computer based Test is not meant for Computer literates only but for users who can be able to understand and control the mouse and also understand the rules and norms.

JAMB TO ADAPT THE USE OF CCTV IN ALL CENTERS

The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has announced that all computer-based centres to be accredited for the registration of 2017 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME), must have Closed-Circuit Television (CCTV) cameras.

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.
According to Oloyede, the move was part of the measures being taken by JAMB to avoid errors of the past and also ensure that the best is offered to Nigerians. 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.

Here you can see that with all this tips and aids to information, you have all it takes to take the forthcoming UTME with no doubt of “CAN I MAKE IT?”.
