Revert to Pencil-Paper Tests, Reps Tell JAMB

House of Representatives directed the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) to return to the former pencil-paper method in conducting examinations for candidates seeking admission into tertiary institutions.

The House of Representative on Thursday, March 17 directed the Joint Admissions Matriculation Examination, JAMB to discontinue the Computer Based Test, CBT. The House said “technical flaws” recorded in the latest computer-based Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination had exposed JAMB’s lack of capacity to handle the computer-based tests.
The House also wants the examinations body to run both the pencil- paper examination and CBT for candidates who should choose how they want to write exam.
The resolution was passed after a lawmaker from Lagos State, Mr. Oghene Emma-Egoh, had moved a motion on the “conflicting” scores of candidates who took the examination.
He said: “The House is worried that already, serious admission problem is rocking the nation because JAMB receives huge allocation from the Federal Government, they charge candidates all manner of fees and majority of the candidates do not gain admission because of the technical hitches of the CBT.” He cited instances of conflicting scores which was occasioned by technical flaws.
He said: “Foluke, the 17-year-old girl in Ejigbo-Lagos, scored an aggregate of 156 in the first result, while in the result that later came out, she had an aggregate of 196.” Citing another instance, he said Ibrahim Shawulu from Kogi state who scored 399 out of 400, but in less than 24 hours another result surfaced reducing Shawulu’s score to 199.
Other law makers while supporting insisted the CBT be made optional for the students.
The House which approved of the motion after it was put to a voice vote by the Speaker, Yakubu Dogara also mandated its committee on education to investigate the matter and report back to the House for further legislative input.

Candidates, Tutorial Owners Protest, Seek Reduction in JAMB Cut Off – Ilorin

Hundreds of admission seekers to the nation’s tertiary institutions and members of Association of Tutorial School Owners of Nigeria protested in Ilorin on Tuesday protested over allegations of shoddy conduct of the examination body which consequently failed the affected candidates for no fault of theirs.
The protesters urged the federal government to wade in and compel JAMB to deliberately reduce the cut off scores because of the anomaly in order to accommodate the interest of the affected candidates.


A member of Tutorial School Owners Association of Nigeria based in ilorin and spokesman for the protesters Mr Olawuyi Olufemi told journalists in an interview that to their dismay, complaints from the affected candidates and their parents indicate that they received different scores in text messages and printout,which ‎reduced in most cases their scores by at least 40marks.
Olufemi also gave graphic details of how computer malfunctions and poor loading of questions and instructions cheated many candidates ‎of their hard earned successes as the questions were not properly loaded,so they could not be answered to time and therefore caused them to fail woefully.
He also said that though their jobs end at training candidates for successful performance in JAMB examinations which they have been doing over the years but ‎had to embark on the protest to bring the matter to the attention of the government more importantly when they are being asked by the parents to refund money they paid for training the candidates.
