JAMB Set To Fix UTME Date As Board Meets WAEC, NECO and NABTEB

Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board, JAMB has now concluded plans to fix the dates for the 2017 UTME. This was made known today by The Head, Media and Information of the board, Dr Fabian Benjamin.

Members of the JAMB board have been scheduled to meet with board members of WAEC, NECO and NABTEB on Tuesday, 17th January, to find suitable dates for the 2017 UTME.

Remember that the new JAMB CBT no longer holds in one day, and may require up to 2 weeks to fully test all candidates, who apply for the exam. This meeting will therefore help avoid clashes in exam dates for other exam bodies, a problem experienced in previous exams.

According to Mr. Fabian, this is the final preparation required before the Sale of 2017 UTME Registration Forms can commence.

We therefore hope that another press briefing will be conducted just after the meeting on 17th January, to reveal the possible 2017 UTME Exam Dates, and when sale of registration forms will commence.

Prophesies made by Pastor E A Adeboye at his visit to UNN. [VIDEO]

The visit of the man of God today was a great one. I do not think any student would miss the programme, an event that really changed lives. One of the things he said was that he does not know will be coming back to Nsukka  for such a programme. This is the first of its kind.

In an event that claimed many lives to Jesus.

He said " One of those dreams we call dream like miracles. There are miracles that when you get them, it looks as if you are still dreaming."

"I have gotten such before that I had to say to God 'God if this is a dream, please do not let me wake up'" He added.

The prophesy came after the statement above, He said

"The Almighty is going to give you the similar dream today" He added "The lord say I should tell someone today that very soon he will know that he came to Nsukka because of you" The people echoed a thunderous Amen.

Thank you father!

He read also about the story of a man in the bible who was paralyzed, when he heard about Jesus, wanted to meet him but the people were much, they had to climb the roof oif the building to drop the man down. When Jesus saw the problem and the faith they had, he told him, Man take up your bed and go and every one was amazed. The man carried up the bed that carried him.

He said, "Your miracle you are getting from here will amaze people"

See the reason why CCCTV cameras are needed in examination halls - by JAMB BOSS

The registrar of the board, Prof. Is-haq Oloyede, made this known to the public.

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

CCTV camera

“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.”
