FG Cancels Statewide Clean Up Exercise Due To JAMB Mock Exam

The Federal Government has called on all the State Governments to allow free movement of people on Saturday, 29 April 2017 because of the JAMB mock examination scheduled to hold tomorrow across the nation.
Every last Saturday of the month is usually used as a day for clean up exercise in most states in the country.

Consequently, the Federal Government has directed that the environmental day should be suspended to enable students to participate in JAMB’s Voluntary Mock Examination fixed for that date nationwide.
According to a statement issued in Lagos on Friday, the Minister of Information and Culture, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, said the mock examination is being conducted ahead of the 2017 UTME to enable interested students to familiarize themselves with the Computer-Based Test (CBT) test environment.

Jamb Mock Exam hold today - get Live updates

The 2nd Mock Exam to test how prepared JAMB is for the coming 2017 UTME, which starts from 13th May, is finally here.
We will monitor all Mock Exams Nationwide from here, so that those who didn't have the opportunity to write Mock will be updated, and those who wrote somewhere else will also be updated with more experiences too.

Please come back every minute to this post to check the latest comments updates about the Mock exam, so you too can gain experience for the Main Exam
Remember that the 1st Mock Exam was a total disaster on JAMB's Part as all their systems totally crumbled to pressure.
This is the 2nd, and maybe the final chance JAMB has to show they are ready to conduct the 2017 UTME, without hitches.
Even though the Mock exam is designed to test JAMB's Exam Systems, it's also an opportunity for JAMB candidates to have first hand knowledge of the new technologies put in place for the 2017 UTME.
The board had earlier talked about introducing a
New JAMB Exam Format for 2017 UTME , and had also specified that JAMB Scraps The Use Of Mouse, Adopts “Eight-Key Device” System For 2017 CBT Exam . We will see if all that will come into play in the Mock Exam.
All JAMB Mock Candidates, Please use the comment section to update us every inch of the way, especially if you encounter any issues during the process. This is a Live Updates thread, so let us know when you get to your center, and if at all there is any delay or problems experienced during the process.
Please let us know the State and Centre location you are reporting from, so that JAMB officials looking at this thread can take notes.
Remember that mobile phones are not allowed into the hall, so don't use the updates of this thread as an excuse to take your phones into the hall. You can let us know your experience after the exam.
While in the hall, please take note of everything;
1. Check if there are actually CCTV Cameras
2. Check if the systems are special in anyway (maybe if there's no mouse)
3. When you login to take an exam, check how the CBT environment is laid out.
4. Where is the time Located, Where are your Subject Navigation Located, Where are the Question Numbers Located, e.t.c.
5. Check if you can use both Keyboard and Mouse (Remember JAMB said you can now use only Keyboard).
6. Check the time given for the exam
7. Check the number of questions given.
8. Remember that JAMB said typing "S" on the keyboard means you want to submit. Be careful!
Ensure you keep your items safe! Your phones, bags, money e.t.c. Please note that not everyone, who comes to the hall came for the exam. Some people are just natural thieves. They steal at every opportunity.
Just update us as much as you can, and we will appreciate every bit of information you pass across. We will create a thread for detailed experiences later in the day.
Goodluck!

“ Government pay the balance of 7 . 5 % contributory pension , those in service need it. The retirees including those in the grave need this money . ”
Speaking with newsmen , the chairman , SSANIP , Emmanuel Ekpo said shutting down of the school gate , the protest became necessary after many years of pleas with the state government and all stakeholders in the education sector.
He added that apart from the non -implementation of 65 years retirement age for non - teaching staff and non - payment of 2014 promotions and payment of arrears by the state government , Ekpo listed other conditions to be fulfilled by the state government before members would call off the strike action .
The conditions, according to him , are the refund of the balance of 7 . 5 % contributory pension to staff who are still in service and retired and payment of full salary and allowances of principal staff of the Institutions.

Meet the Best Graduating students in MOUAU

24 - year- old Egemole Obinna made first class in Chemistry from the Michael Okpara University of Agriculture , Umudike, Abia State , with 4 . 57 CGPA in the 2015 /2016 academic session . He tells TUNDE AJAJA in this interview his experiences in school
What was growing up like for you ?
I grew up in the northern part of the country and I still have fond memories . Most of my childhood memories are about growing up at Sabon Gari in Kano State and that ’ s where I had my primary education. I was always at the top of the class then and I received cash gifts from people whenever I went home with my report card . I was also a fast runner and I represented my team several times in inter - house sports competitions . My parents moved to Rivers State when I was eleven and that was where I had my secondary education . I was also among the best science students in secondary school . So , largely , my growing up was fun . Then , my dream was to become a medical practitioner , say a surgeon , or pharmacist , but I later settled for Chemistry.
Why did you switch to Chemistry ?
It was my most favourite subject in secondary school and I see it as one course that makes one versatile .
Since it was the course you wanted , would you say you had a smooth ride to first class?
Honestly, it wasn ’ t so easy but I was determined to achieve it and it took God ’ s grace . I can even say it was sheer providence . I made it a goal to achieve in the university while I was in secondary school but after staying at home for two years before gaining admission , I lost that zeal . On getting to school , I had to ignore what I heard from other students in my first semester in school . I heard lots of stories about how difficult it could be to obtain a first class in my field and I heard that it had been quite long the department had one . That was really discouraging at first but I got over it by being determined to make a difference . I reminded myself that nothing significant had ever been accomplished without criticism or controversy . But once you are determined to excel, you don ’ t have to allow other people’ s words to stop you . So , I ignored such stories .
When did you start having first class ?
I started having first class as GPA in the second semester of my first year . That was after the six months strike by the Academic Staff Union of Universities . In the first semester , I didn ’ t do so well; I had 3 . 91 GPA but by that second semester , I made 4 . 76 GPA. At that point when I started having first class GPA, I decided to work harder to graduate as a first class student and I was able to make 5 . 0 GPA twice . Really , teaching others compelled me to study more. There wasn ’ t a semester I didn ’ t teach people. Being a teacher made it easy to remember what I studied . I also led tutorials in various fields ; Chemistry, Mathematics , Statistics and computer programming and that greatly enhanced my performance . Those things made a lot of difference because I was the only one who made first class in my class .
Some students do these things but still don ’t have your kind of result. In your view, what makes students fail ?
There are lots of factors contributing to that . First is skipping lectures . This makes them to miss continuous assessment scores and assignments from time to time . That is not very good for a student , because it limits the student ’ s chances of passing the course . The second point I can think of is procrastination which may be due to lack of control over social media . Many students like to study only when it’ s time to do exams and this greatly affects their performance because they end up not getting a clear understanding of the courses at that moment . The third reason , in my view , is when students study what they don ’ t have passion for . With the present situation in the education sector in the country, getting admitted to study your choice course is tough . So , many students end up accepting what the school offers them, which is different from what they may have applied for . In some cases, students do find it difficult to cope with the new course , which could lead to poor performance . I believe students need to be determined , attend lectures and learn to teach others. They also need to stay healthy, get enough sleep daily , do exercises regularly and eat well. Finally, they should be prayerful , study the bible , attend fellowships and seek for tutors in areas that seem difficult to them at an early stage.
No doubt , Chemistry has wide application , but some feel it is somehow abstract . Did you once see it that way ?
It’ s a very nice course to study and I don ’ t think it ’ s abstract . It is as real as we can imagine and that is why it plays vital roles in our lives by meeting our basic needs , in terms of food , clothing , health , etc . Some people don ’ t know that there are always new trends in chemistry . Synthetic organic chemists are always developing new pathways for drug formulations , better and less feeds production routes etc. Also is Green chemistry which focuses on designing products and processes that minimise the use and generation of hazardous substances in the environment . It’ s a broad field with various branches with promising job opportunities ; polymer chemistry deals with the plastic firms , foams etc. , analytical chemistry equips one to work in pharmaceutical companies, food and beverages firms , cosmetics , cement , NAFDAC , research institutes while under organic chemistry we have research and development departments, fertilizers , petrochemicals, etc. There is a lot more, even in the teaching service .
How did your parents receive the news ?
They were really happy when I called to tell them I made it, after seeing my final results . It’ s something they really prayed for because I started receiving recommendation letters from the school ’ s senate from my first year . I ’ m happy I made them proud.
Were there challenges you had to contend with as an undergraduate ?
Sure . I think mine was mainly criticism and also when I had to do exams very sick and that really resulted in my bad performance in such semesters . However , I thank God for His wisdom and strength that saw me through . In my first year , attending lectures of several general courses was really hectic and I didn ’ t stay close to school , so I was always tired anytime I got home, thus I would be unable to study . To ensure I met my target , I had to drive myself and I did meet my senior colleagues to tutor me on some topics I found tough . I would tie it to determination and , mainly , God ’ s grace .
Given that you put in so much hard work into your studies , what was your schedule like ?
After lectures, sometimes , I used to go and play table tennis or chess in the evenings . I normally went to the library on Wednesday because lectures usually ended by midday. After that , I would study for about two to four hours as the case may be and I would hold tutorials for students in courses they found challenging in my lecture free period . I must say that I learn better when I teach others. So all I had to do was to make sure I taught people. As regards reading , I only read for two hours daily and it really helped me . Although there were times I was too tired to do so . On the other hand, I slept well, usually between six and nine hours daily . I used to go to the library to study , at least once weekly, due to the availability of materials and the quietness . Also , there were times I went for night class . Meanwhile , during exams , I did my best to cover all the courses I offered two weeks before exams . During exams , I woke up daily by 2 am to revise the courses I had for the day till 6 am . I studied past questions and I did tutorials with other students on weekends . That really helped a lot . So , having first class is not about reading throughout the night every day , it ’ s about knowing what works for you and being consistent .
Did some of your colleagues see you as too serious?
Being at the top of the class made my colleagues to call me a “ Hyper ” . It’ s a common name in my school for students that others see to be too serious . When you sit at the front of the class during lectures , you will be called a “ Hyper ” by other students .
Studying is enough work on its own, however, were you involved in other school activities ?
Yes , I played football and I was among the team in my class . I played chess and table tennis very well too . Actually , one of the things I wish I was able to do as an undergraduate was to play chess very well and represent my school at NUGA . Chess is a game that takes a lot of time when playing with someone that is good . So when I realised I wasn ’ t performing so well academically, I stopped going to play chess.
Have you ever been disturbed by the rate of unemployment challenge in Nigeria ?
Well , it’ s quite discouraging but I am optimistic and I always pray for God ’ s grace on that . Students even find it difficult to secure a place for internship ( Industrial Training ) in the country and some get discouraged after searching for long and yet unable to get a place which results in not getting the practical experience the programme was meant to provide. And that is little , compared to getting a job .
Many students rarely get all the financial aid they need while in school . Did you also have any challenge in that regard?
The money I was getting from my parents wasn ’ t really enough for my daily expenses in school , so I did typing jobs and that helped a lot . However , my parents did their best to encourage me , sometimes with cash but mostly with their words and prayers.
What about scholarships ?
No , I didn ’ t benefit from any. Most of the scholarships were restricted to few courses and I applied only for a few , but I wasn ’ t shortlisted for any.
What was your disposition to being in a relationship as an undergraduate ?
I wasn ’ t in any, but I had good , close friends . I thought it was better to achieve my goals in school before getting involved in that .
What were your most memorable moments in school ?
My happiest moment was when I saw my final result and I made a 5 . 00 GPA, which was really what I prayed for . My embarrassing moment was being sick when I had to do my exams and I got a ‘ D’ in a three- unit course in the first semester of my first year , and that was my worst semester in school . I felt it would be difficult making a first class after that experience because my GPA dropped from 4 . 76 to 4 . 09 , but by God ’ s grace , I made it.
When you were in school , was there an opportunity to apply what you were taught ?
Yes , I worked with Emzor Pharmaceuticals and Mopson Pharmaceuticals during my IT . So I was able to apply what I was taught in school in the laboratory and in my research project.
What are your aspirations in life ?
I would love to be a lecturer and become a professor in my field someday. That would broaden my horizons in the field . I ’ m highly motivated to work with academic institutions, pharmaceuticals, petrochemicals, breweries and food processing industries .

How to Confirm your JAMB 2017 Registration

As the JAMB 2017 Registration gradually comes to an end on 5th May, it is important to be sure you have been duly registered, or if the registration by Accredited CBT centres is successful.
One way to be sure is when you receive an email from the JAMB portal to confirm your registration. Apart from the fact that emails could be deceptive, or else you are sure of the sender, sometimes emails fail to be delivered.
The best approach to ascertain a successful registration is to ensure that your details have been entered directly on the JAMB portal and they actually appear on the portal. Once you are able to see your actual registration data on the JAMB portal, then you can relax.
Note that the importance of this procedure is to ensure you have been registered, before the actual closing date of 5th May. If you can't confirm your registration, there is still time to make amends before the closing date. This procedure does not concern re-printing of exam slip for venue and date because that will most likely come after registrations.
Although re-printing of slips were earlier scheduled to start 25th April, it is most likely that this procedure will also be moved to start as from 8th May. This is only an assumption and we will notify you on this site if anything changes.
Procedures to Confirm your JAMB 2017 Registration
The earlier procedures we provided seems not to be feasible so We are calling on JAMB to provide candidates with the official online mode of checking if registration has been successfully done before access to re-print exam slip is available.
If you see details there, then you should most likely be relaxed. If not, tell us what you see so that the Myschoolnewz Community can offer guidance.
Remember, if you have a better way you think JAMBites can use to confirm their registration, please share with us.

5 Suspects Arrested for Hacking into Jamb website

Some suspects who were allegedly caught while perpetrating certain irregularities in the ongoing registration for the 2017 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examinations have reportedly confessed to spending over N 20 m to construct a radio platform with which they hacked into JAMB ’s registration portal .
Saturday PUNCH had reported that the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps arrested no less than five individuals who had deployed fake biometric capturing machines to register applicants .
The Spokesperson of the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board, Dr . Fabian Benjamin , in a statement issued in Abuja on Saturday, said, “These registration thieves deployed fake biometric capturing mechanisms and super -imposed registration slips just to satisfy the curiosity of innocent candidates that their registration was successful .
“And on the day of examination , such candidates ’ data would either be edited, or not found on the JAMB data base .
“Such candidates would not be verified during the examination proper . ”
Benjamin disclosed that the fraudsters were arrested variously in Oyo, Ogun and Maiduguri by officers and men of the NSCDC and brought to Abuja .
During their interrogations in Abuja , Benjamin said, the suspects gave startling revelations of how they conducted their operations .
“While being paraded in the presence of the Commandant -General of NSCDC, Abdullahi Gana Mohamadu , the fraudsters confessed to numerous registration infractions that JAMB couldn ’t imagine,” Benjamin said.

UNIJOS Notice To Students On Registration Deadline 2016/2017

All students that register after the official closing date of registration will be surcharged N10,000 for late registration.

All students are advised to take advantage of the extension to register as this will be final extension for registration. All students who fail to register before the expiration of the late registration period would be considered to have voluntarily withdrawn their studentship of the University of Jos in accordance with the extant rules of the University.

Nigeria institutions needs uniform cut-off mark in JAMB admission

The Chairman , Exam Ethics Marshals International , an NGO , Mr Ike Onyechere , has called for a uniform cut - off mark of admissions into tertiary institutions in the country .
Onyechere on Friday also said the criteria for choosing candidates in educationally advantaged and educationally disadvantaged states should be removed by the Joint Admission and Matriculation Board .
The Chairman noted that candidates from educationally disadvantaged states usually had lower cut - off marks than candidates from educationally advantaged states .
He urged JAMB to look into the issue and make the necessary adjustment .
According to him , every candidate seeking admission into Nigerian universities should be made to gain admission with a uniform cut - off mark .
“ If you look at it , Akwa Ibom was carved out from Cross River and Akwa Ibom is listed as educationally advantaged state while Cross River is categorised as an educationally disadvantaged state .
“ In other words , the candidates from Cross River will have a lower cut - off mark than candidates from Akwa Ibom . For me, it doesn ’ t make sense . ”
He explained that most of the states listed as educationally disadvantaged had more Federal Government institutions than states listed as educationally advantaged .
“ Kaduna State has over 20 Federal Government educational institutions but it is being categorised as educationally disadvantaged .
“ So those are the kind of anomalies that JAMB should remove and those are the kind of things I am referring to as higher dynamics of malpractice . ”
Onyechere further called on JAMB to come up with policies that would give the youths equal opportunity to access tertiary institutions in the country .
He also said that accessing admission should not be slanted in favour and against certain people in some areas of the country.
Onyechere said that accessing admission would boost the quality of education in the educationally disadvantaged states .
“ All those things should be removed . If you pass , you pass , so you don ’ t have to water down the quality of education because you want to accommodate certain people. ”

JAMB To Deploy New Exam Questions For Each Batch Of Candidates

The Joint Admission and Matriculation board (JAMB) has disclosed that it has put a new innovation in place that will enable it deploy enough questions for the JAMB exam for all the candidates writing on a particular day.
This was disclosed by JAMB's Head of Information, JAMB, Dr Fabian.

He explained that in previous years the board can only deploy questions once in a day. So even if there are three batches of candidates (morning, afternoon and evening) writing the examination on the same day, they have to answer the same questions. But this is no longer the case.
According to him, if we have three sessions or batches, we will deploy three times; this is a new innovation to ensure that even the person at the centre does not compromise the sanctity of the examination.
He equally mentioned that so far, about 1.3 million candidates have registered for the examination billed to hold between May 13 and 20.

Asuu Demand for Resignation of Jamb Registrar

Following alleged lopsidedness in the on-going registration of candidates by Joint Admission and Matriculation Board, the Chairman, Academic Staff Union of Universities, (ASUU) University of Ibadan Chapter, Dr Deji Omole has called on the Registrar of JAMB, Professor Ishaq Oloyede to voluntarily resign from office.
The academic union also asked the Minister of Education, Mallam Adamu Adamu to call the registrar to order to lessen the difficulty being experienced by the candidates.
Dr Omole said the board had outlived its usefulness and the best thing is to scrap it and allow universities design their standard examination for their own candidates.
He noted that the fact that a mock examination was stopped due to logistic reasons underscored the point of alleged incompetence of the Registrar, noting that if candidates could not do mock how sure are they to pass the examination.
He said: “Why will anybody make life difficult for candidates whose parents are struggling to live under the terrible condition the government has made them to live in?"
“Why would somebody introduce changes that are only known by members of the board? We have made case for the scrapping of this body because in the present instance the introduction of different registration procedures has turned candidates to victims of fraud.”while different centres now make business by arranging with private schools who bring all their students in group to come and register while children of the masses look on.”
“This is a failed approach to change and the Registrar admitted this with the cancellation of the mock examination. How can we ensure that the candidates prepare well for the exams when they spend weeks waiting for Personal Identification Number and are at the mercy of registration officers who force them to go to cybercafe where they have arrangements to first create their profile before they can have their PIN”
“This is where people are duping Nigerian children. This is a total failure. Students must have at least three months for registration, its procedure must be open and their options to public universities must not be limited to serve the agenda of the proprietors of private universities”, he argued.

UTME 2017: Tips To Score High In Your JAMB Exam

JAMB is the most biggest exam ever in Nigeria. A candidate is assigned to do and conclude this exam in just a day. That one day will determine your next move academically. I mean Maybe you will sit at home if you fail it by having a low score or Have the chance of gaining admission if you pass it with a high and meaningful score.

I will never forget to tell you the best thing to achieve a High Score in JAMB. You just have to ready and read without ceasing. Attempt Past questions overnight. Forget about your boo's issue and do what will benefit you academically. Then leave the rest for Almighty God to take control.
MALPRACTICE??? HELL NO!!!
Well, We all know JAMB will not encourage and advice you to involve in MALPRACTICE. But they know it exists. To be sincere, nobody wants to fail ooo. We also understand that our brains are not equal.
During the exam You can't reason the way I do. I can't reason they way you do. The truth is that everybody wants to score high in JAMB but everybody ain't that brilliant and intelligent to tackle JAMB exam and Score like 280+
JAMB is the true test of ability. The exam is quite different from WAEC/ NECO because they are based on 'normed' grades. This means your grades in those exams depend on general performance. Those exams are also just a test of your rudimentary knowledge of topics.
Now to JAMB.
1. Make sure you get a syllabus to know what you are required to know in each subject.
2. Make sure you understand the difference between similar things e.g Cartillage, muscles because they dont just
test whether you have an idea but if you know the difference between pretty similar things
3. For calculation based subjects, JAMB options are actually based on misconceptions i.e if you don't understand
well, your wrong answer will also be available.
4. Get as many past questions as possible. When you practice make sure you confirm your answers from reputable textbooks
and not 'Hungry authors' with wuruwuru answers
