JAMB To Start 2017 Sales Of Form Soon, Agrees On Exam Timetable With WAEC, NECO, NABTEB

The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) yesterday disclosed that it has agreed on a harmonised time-table with other examination bodies (WAEC, NECO, NABTEB) ahead of 2017 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) to ensure a hitch free examination.

According to the JAMB's Spokesman, Dr. Fabian Benjamin, in a statement in Abuja, the harmonised examination timetable had put to rest problems arising from overlapping of examination dates which would have disqualified a goof number of candidates from participating in the examination.

It was resolved at the meeting that WAEC from 2018, between March and April, will create a window of two weeks where all other examinations that have nothing to do with Nigeria will be held so as to allow a window for JAMB to conduct its examination.

The statement also revealed that the examination bodies agreed that for the purpose of the 2017 UTME, JAMB would shift its examinations to allow students face WAEC, NECO and NABTEB.

“However, a 10-day window for JAMB’S UTME has been created by all examination bodies for JAMB to conduct its examination.

In view of this, JAMB will soon announce the commencement of sale of the 2017/2018 admission forms for UTME and Direct Entry (DE)." the statement added

JAMB Explains Why CCTV Cameras Are Needed For 2017 UTME

Registrar and Chief Executive of the Joint Admission and Matriculation Board, Prof. Is-haq Oloyede, has emphasized on the reason the board will be using Closed Circuit Television Cameras for the conduct of 2017 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination.

According to him, this is a part of the measures aimed at preventing examination malpractice during the UTME.

“We believe that certain things should be done.

For example, we are conducting the Computer-Based Test, I’m not aware of anywhere in the world where you do the CBT without CCTV. If you are not caught during the examination, you can be caught after the examination because the whole thing will be under coverage.

He further mentioned that operators of the CBT centres who fail to comply with the order to install CCTV cameras prior to the examination may not be accredited for the UTME.

He advised parents candidates against falling victims to fraudsters as the UTME forms are not yet on sale.

Concerning when the examination will commence, the JAMB boss stated that he cannot say categorically when it will commence but it will commence sooner than later.

In his words, “I can say clearly that I don’t know when we are going to start the sales of forms. All we want to do is to make sure that things that ought to be in place are in place. I cannot tell you exactly when it will be, but I know that sales will commence sooner than later. Why am I saying so? For instance, we are meeting with the heads of other examination bodies.

“We don’t want a situation where pupils will be put under pressure to give up either West African Senior School Certificate Examination or National Examination Council or any other examination whenever they are taking place simultaneously. That is one of the things we want to avoid.

“Secondly, if we hold our examination at a time when students are not ready, the result we get is a high rate of failure. Our examination is a ranking examination, not an achievement examination. This is why we are saying that it is not to extend the validity because the test is to be taken just once."

JAMB 2017: Factors To Consider Before Choosing Exam Centre

As we wait for the commencement of the 2017 UTME registration, we are taking our time to give out the necessary information that every JAMB candidate ought to know before registration commences.

Today, we will be giving out information on factors to consider before choosing your examination centre i.e the state and local government you intend to sit for the examination.

Over the years, it has been discovered that most JAMB candidates proceed to choose their examination centres without considering some important factors.

Before you choose your exam centre, consider the proximity of the location i.e how close the centre is to your location, this is a very important factor to consider in order to avoid arriving late to the centre on the exam.

If there is any reason why you have to choose such a centre, then you should go to your exam location at least a day before the exam.

On the other hand, student who may have reasons why they must be at the exam centre on the day of the exam, should endeavor to leave as early as possible to avoid getting stuck in a traffic or some other unforseen hinderances.

Candidates should not choose a centre because they have friends who have chosen same centre; your friend might have a favourable reason why he/she chose the centre.It is advisable to choose centres that are convenient for you.

This is the reason you should endeavor to register for the UTME on time. Candidates who are involved in late registration may end up in centres not favourable to them.

Meanwhile, 2017 UTME registration is yet to commence. We urge all the aspirants to keep calm while we look forward to the commencement of the 2017 UTME registration date.

We will bring the information to you the moment it commences officially.
