The Registrar of the Joint Admission Matriculation Board
[JAMB] has also revealed when the 2017 UTME and Direct
Entry Registration is scheduled to commence after
announcing the date for the 2017 UTME examination.
Read here.
According to Prof. Oloyede on Monday 20th February,
2017 while briefing newsmen said the reason for the
delay and the commencement of the UTME and Direct
Entry Registration is to check Malpractices.
He also said that 10 officials of JAMB has been handed to
the police for investigation in connection with fraud
associated with sales of scratch cards.
Below are the exact words of the Registrar Below:
=========================================
"For the 2017 UTME, we have taken a decision to
commence the sale of the form soon. Within the next two
weeks , we will be out. The reason for this is that we are
making all arrangements that ought to be made. We have
changed the process of payment, no more scratch card
selling. We need to put the right architecture in place and
we have put this in place.
“The examination will be coming up later than usual. This
is to make sure we take into consideration the interest of
the students. We are going to conduct the UTME in May. It
will not clash with any SSCE examinations
I did not sit here or my management did not fix the date.
We sat down with all examination bodies with their
timetables and we agreed to create this window."
"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.
“We are also using that opportunity to communicate with
other Examination bodies like WAEC, NECO and NABTEB
to ensure that we do not make our examinations mutually
exclusive. Somebody is taking WAEC examinations, he
wants to take JAMB but in some cases due to clash of
timetable, he wants to sacrifice one for the other.
“So, we have harmonized in such a way that the period we
are going to use for our examination, all other
examination bodies will not have examinations during the
period.
=========================================
Asked how many candidates will sit for UTME this year,
the Registrar said the agency is expecting about
1.7million.
That figure (1.7m candidates) was last year’s figure and we
do not expect less this year. We expect about 1.5million
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
said.
“I or the management will not promise a hitch-free
examination because when you are doing the type of re-
engineering we are doing, you cannot say that there will
be no hitches. But we believe that we are on top of it and
whatever problem arises, we will solve it.
“Everybody will however have fair treatment and
everybody will be well-treated. This is what I can assure
Nigerians.
By the above we can now deduce that the registration is
likely to commence from next month March, 2017.
So stay tuned as we will inform you of any latest coming
from JAMB as time goes on.
