The post [Jamb Screening Modalities] Outcome of JAMB Meeting on Federal Universities appeared first on Naijanobs.

Dear aspiring candidates of various Universities, Polytechniques and College of Education  please Take time to read properly so that you can understand the process in gaining admission. The Modalities for 2016/2017 Admission processes Into Higher institutions as was released by JAMB

1- The meeting was held at:

B.O Ukeje Auditorium, Nation Commission for colleges of Education, Central Business District Abuja…. on Tuesday 28th for Federal institutions, Wed 29th for state institutions and Thursday 30th June 2016 for Private institutions….

The meeting was for stakeholders and educational bodies to work out the modalities of screening candidates duly recommended for admission. Due to the National importance of the meeting, it was chaired by the permanent secretary to the ministry of Education, this is to ensure that the honorable minister’s directives on the scrapping of postume and the modalities is STRICTLY ADHERED TO.

2- ADMISSION CRITERIA FOR ALL INSTITUTIONS-

A- CONVENTIONAL INSTITUTIONS

Universities and colleges of Education

To Admit 60% Science and 40% Arts

B- SPECIALIZED INSTITUTIONS

Varsities of technology, Agriculture etc

To admit 100% sciences ( but 80% sciences and 20% others….. For state varsity and colleges of Education)

C- Polytechnic and colleges of Technology

To admit 70% Sciences and 30% Arts

3- UTME/DIRECT ENTRY ratio

To Admit 90% UTME and 10% DE

Where the 10% for DE is not utilized, UTME candidates should be used in completing the quota

4- ISSUES TO NOTE BY ALL Institutions….

The list of candidates that has crossed the minimum cutoff of Jamb but were not admitted into a particular institution should be forwarded back to jamb, as this candidates will be redistributed to other institutions who need them for consideration…..most preferably their 2nd choice institution….

(This means that those who scored the general cutoff say 180 or 200 and above but couldn’t reach the departmental cutoff and were not admitted will be forward to other institution for admission consideration, just like eligibility stuff last year)

5- STUDY HERE PROPERLY,

In the Meeting, Jamb did some evaluations on processes some universities has been following in the former years as a case study, they used this two varsities which don’t normally write pume as a case study but uses screening method: these are:

.

Abubakar Tafawa Balewa University and its affiliates 2015/2016 mode of admission, Jamb made remarked on the life span of certificates (O-level) which the school indicated as 5yrs only for you to be admitted, and Jamb also made remarks on how much this varsity collects from aspirants. Ibrahim Badamasi Babangida’s who use jamb grading systems like 180- 185 as 20 points, 186-190 as 21 points and So on…

Jamb faulted and made remarks on

1- why they should screen candidates before recommendation and presentation to jamb

2- The weighted course requirements and grades put some students to disadvantage

3- fees charged for screening, HOW MUCH??. In the meeting, Jamb made some sampled printouts of some federal universities that do conduct written exams…. Using Futo, unilorin, uniabuja, and Unilag as a case study. Using FUTO Mechanical Engineering department as an example, they have the capacity to admit a total number of 193 for that department… they suppose to admit 87 on merit, 68 for catchments( they have 5 catchments states, so 68 divided by 5 = 13.5, so they suppose to admit 14 for each catchment states), 39 for EDLS (they have 23 EDLS so 39/23 = 1.6~ 2 for each EDLS)…. But they summary/outcome jamb gave for futo was: 92:70:14 for merit: catchment: ELDS. Unilorin admission for law which has a capacity of 89 was also used and the outcome was that they admitted a total of 70 instead of 89 using merit, catchments and ElDS… Uniabuja with a capacity of 444 for Economics department admitted just 370. Unilag with a capacity of 280 for law department had a summary/outcome of 270 instead of 280… For private institution, they used about 5 institutions as case study, where Covenant varsity, with 111 capacity for Engineering end up admitting just 45 (I guess due to lack of candidates), Salem varsity Lokoja which have a capacity to admit 20 for computer Engineering ended up admitting just 8 (due to lack of candidates) and so on for the remaining 3 varsities used as sample…. For State institutions: Imsu, Lautech, Kaduna. State varsity and 2 others were used, the outcome looked partly like federal uni outcome for those state varsity like imsu who have candidates every year and some outcomes looked like that of private varsity for some state universities that lacks candidates every year… 6- After the whole evaluation, JAMB came up with this As the MODALITIES TO BE TAKEN THIS YEAR By All institutions:

PROPOSED JAMB MODEL FOR SCREENING OF RECOMMENDED CANDIDATES*

• Screening of candidates shall be for those offered *Provisional Admissions* ONLY.
• No *written examination* to be conducted._
• Verification of Course Requirements (O levels or A levels)._
• Verification of valid JAMB results by checking:_

_i.Online Result Slip_ _ii.Printout_

_iii.Provisional Admission Letter_

_iv.Photo Album_

_v.Check list_

_vi.Biometrics

*5.Institutions are free to source from other Course(s) to compensate for SHORTFALL in any of the criteria..

This new method uses a point system that is easy to understand, the whole process is divided into main points as follows;

1) Before a candidate can seat be considered for screening, he/she must have been given provisional admission by Jamb. The Jamb admission checker portal is going to be opened soon for this process, so praying is all you can do now.

2) THE POINT SYSTEM:

This is the most critical part of the process. Jamb’s provisional admission no longer makes much sense this year, your points tally will decide your faith. The points are evenly spread out between your O’level and Jamb results to provide a level playing field for all.

In the first case, any candidate who submits only one result which contains his/her relevant subjects already has 10points, the exam could be NECO, WAEC, GCE etc, but any candidate who has 2 sittings only gets 3 points. So this means that aspirants with only one result are at an advantage but only just.

The next point grades fall into the O’level grades. Each grades has it’s equivalent point, A=6 marks, B=4 marks, C=3 marks, so the better your grades the better your chances.

The next point is the UTME scores. Each score range has its equivalent point which can be summarized thus, 180-200=20-23 marks, 200-250=24-33 points, 251-300=34-43, 300-400=44-60 points. Each categories contains 5 Jamb results per point added, for example a candidate with 180-185 gets 20 points, a candidate with 186-190 gets 21 points etc.

Points system for DE will be released soon.

3) It then comes down to the fact that fees will still be charged for screening, it depends on the school as well.

4) Catchment and ELDS will still be used!

Thank you.

The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board, JAMB, has distanced itself from media reports that it imposed the Point System Option (PSO) on higher institutions as the new admission guidelines for 2016 admission processes.

Distancing itself from such report, the examination body described it as a figment of the imagination of its proponents.

Speaking with Saturday Telegraph , the Head of JAMB’s Media and Information Unit, Dr. Fabian Benjamin, said the examination body at no point made such a recommendation.

He noted that a section of the media had only scooped the information from a presentation to some education stakeholders by the JAMB Registrar, Prof. Dibu Ojerinde, which was posted on the examination body’s website.

This is even as he added that as against the report, JAMB would no longer issue any admission letter to any candidate but would ensure that the three admission pillars of Merit, Catchment Area and the Education Disadvantaged Areas must be observed by all the higher institutions across the country.

He said:-

“It is irresponsible for any media to have credited any information that did not emanate from JAMB to us. JAMB did not create any new admission guidelines. Some people just went to our website to pick a document which was presented to a session of stakeholders comparing various admission systems by different institutions.

“No university or polytechnic is instructed by JAMB to adopt such a policy. In fact, we won’t issue admission letter any longer as the Minister has mandated us.

“What we are to do is to provide admission list and album to the institutions and ensure that the 45 per cent for merit; 35 per cent for catchment area and the 20 per cent for education disadvantaged areas, are observed to the letter. The universities are to issue admission letters individually.”

The Federal Ministry of Education on Monday sent a strong-worded statement to Nigerian universities, warning them that only the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) can admit students.

The Director, Press and Public Relations, in the ministry, Mr. Ben Goong, stated that any institution that acted against the directive would have itself to blame.
He denied media reports that the earlier decision to cancel post-Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) was upturned.

The ministry insisted that universities “had no business admitting candidates other than those sent to it by JAMB but could screen candidates to remove those with anti-social traits and suspicious credentials”.
The federal government said while the ban on post-UTME stayed, screening was only for those admitted by JAMB and limited to examination of credentials and physical examination of candidates to ensure that they are not of questionable characters.

“All these should be done upon resumption. No university is allowed to have anything to do with any applicant who is not its student. Screening and registration are only for those who have been admitted by JAMB,” the ministry stressed

There are strong indications that both administrative and academic activities may resume at the Obafemi Awolowo University (OAU), Ile-Ife, this week, as President Muhammadu Buhari has instructed the university’s Registrar, Mr. David Awoyemi, to announce the reopening of the institution as soon as possible.

This is even as the President has asked the university’s members of the Senate to recommend one of them, who is capable of running the institution as a Vice-Chancellor in acting capacity, for Federal Government’s approval.

In a letter addressed to the Executive Secretary of the  National Universities Commission, Prof. Julius Okojie, through the Minister of Education, Mallam Adamu Adamu, the President directed the Senate not to consider any of the candidates who earlier contested for the position.

Webometrics has recently released the openness ranking of World universities for the second half of 2016, within which less than 50 Nigerian universities were included; With Harvard University (USA) coming first in the world as usual.

Openness refers to the total number of pdf files of a university according to google. It relies on information (statistics) of web publications of a University for a Specific period of time; available on google scholar. It therefore based on volume of research articles published by a university.

The quantity of google scholarly articles a university has reveals how much of research is being conducted by the university; which is what openness ranking is all about – a university’s research output.

Openness rank is a part of the many indicators that make up several university rankings, others being excellence, presence and visibility; for Webometrics.
