JAMB releases UTME results 2011

The management of the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) yesterday released the results of the 2011 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) held in Nigeria and six other foreign countries owing to the introduction of the biometric technology.
However, about 28,069 results are withheld for investigation.
A total of 1,493,604 candidates sat for the examination last Saturday.
Dibu Ojerinde, Registrar and Chief Executive of JAMB, who announced the release of the results in Abuja, said despite the merger of the entrance examinations to become the UTME in 2010, studies showed a general preference for university education.
Ojerinde said the University of Lagos had 99,195 applications, but it could only admit 9,507 candidates, adding that the Ahmadu Bello University, Zaria had 89,760 applications.
He gave a breakdown of this year’s UTME scores, saying, 102,069 candidates scored above 250, while 2,892 candidates scored 300 and above.
485,426 candidates scored between 200 and 249, while 31,444 scored between 270 and 299.
The JAMB boss, who said the board would improve on the use of the biometric data capturing technology in future, debunked insinuations by the media that the biometric concept was unsuccessful.
 We should return to GCE A/L minimum admission qualification, UTME is undesirable
A first degree in the university, in general, should be strictly a three year course as before. The minimum entry qualification for the three years first degree course should be three subjects in GCE advanced level (A/L) at one sitting or four subjects at two sittings or a two your Access Diploma course, similar to the present OND. The previous one-year preliminary course that is generally taken at the University before a first-degree course should not be entertained in the country again.
HND and NCE should be a three year course while OND is abolished. The minimum entry qualification for the HND and NCE courses should be Secondary School Certificate/GCE ordinary level and their equivalents.
GCE A/L or an Access Diploma that is a two-year course enable a student to be matured and fundamentally ready to take on higher education, etc, with responsibility, little or none of the distractions and undesirable indulgence we now witness in the higher educational institutions in the country, such as cultism. Moreover, the holder of GCE A/L, etc. is less likely to repeat or becomes an outright dropout.
The GCE A/L and its related Access Diploma course that normally take two years always create opportunity for private educational institution establishments. This post secondary education preparatory institution, for higher education, is the area where private education is much needed in the country rather than at the tertiary stage where they are not so required. For example, the preparatory schools would be fresh sources for the much needed employment in the country.
Primary school education as before should be strictly a six year course. Secondary school education as before should strictly be a five-year course. The GCE A/L and its equivalent Access Diploma courses should be a two-year course. A University first degree as before should strictly be a three-year course. That is a 6-5-2-3 system of education.
Strikes should be barred in both the Education and Health sectors of the country. All the unresolved disputes between the employees and employer in these sectors should always be handled by an arbitration that is jointly established by the employer and union of employees, without going on strike.
As potential higher education students always take the GCE A/L, etc at their own time, this would stagger admission and reduce the number of applicants at a time within even the current capacity of the present universities in the country. If the GCE A/L system of minimum qualification is adopted now within the next two years we would have fewer students to admit to the universities. This would give the universities time, enable them to concentrate well on the few available students for admission and to reorganise the running of the institutions. In general, it will improve the standard of our education and quality of first degree as it was before and to world standard.
The present UTME and system of education are undesirable. The question now, have we got the right Federal Government to do the right things?

Nigeria: Improving Conduct of Matriculation Exams 2011/2012

This year's Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) took place on Saturday June 18, with over one million candidates in various centres across the country sitting for it. Like in previous years, the examination was not without bottlenecks. The UTME, which was due to commence at 9am only started in many centres at about an hour behind schedule. The delay was attributed to the very slow rate at which the newly-introduced biometric machines deployed to verify candidates' fingerprints and check other forms of malpractices were responding to operational tasks. In some instances, the use of the machines had to be abandoned to save time.

The Registrar of Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB), Professor Dibu Ojerinde blamed the hitch partly on the late start of the screening of candidates by examination officers. While explaining the problem encountered with the biometric machines, Ojerinde stated that the number of candidates whose data were in each of the systems was 540, too much for machines' memory capacity to handle. However, the machines proved their utility, before they were discarded, helping officials to discover and turn away candidates with fraudulent registrations from writing the examination; thereby reducing the incidence of examination malpractices. This means that with improvements in their capacities, the machines should be good aids in the fight against frauds in examinations.

By the time the use of biometric machine is perfected, JAMB would have conquered two of the several crooked avenues used by examination fraudsters. JAMB recorded the first success in reducing the incidence of examination malpractice in May 2008, when it released results of the examination ten days after it was written, greatly curtailing the chances of dubious JAMB and examination officials exploiting the long period of processing the results to perpetrate corrupt practices including the marketing of scores. Such actions that devalue the credibility of public examinations prompted the introduction of a second level of screening, the Post-UME examination by universities, in 2005. This second screening test is to give candidates the opportunity to defend their UTME scores.

This year, JAMB has improved further by releasing the results within one week of the examination. Results of the 2011 UTME were released on June 24, 2011. While giving details of this year's results, Professor Ojerinde declared that out of the 1, 493, 000 candidates that sat for the UTME, 7,504 results were withheld, pending investigation. He added that about 15,160 cases of various forms of examination malpractice as well as 28,069 cases were recorded. The University of Lagos received the highest number of applicants with 99,195 but can only admit 9,507 candidates. Ahmadu Bello University Zaria and the University of Nigeria Nsukka followed with 89,760 and 88,177 applicants respectively, both having limited admission vacancies.

There are other areas where JAMB needs to work out strategies to fight the frightening trend of examination malpractice. Some parents, for instance, cannot avoid blame for abetting malpractices among candidates. Some hire mercenaries to write the UTME for their children or wards. Equally disturbing is the situation where examination halls are often overcrowded with candidates, but insufficient number of invigilators to effectively watch over them. These conditions create the environment for lazy candidates to exploit with impunity.
Relevant Links

* West Africa
* Nigeria
* Education

JAMB should limit the number of candidates in each examination hall to manageable number, with a reasonable number of invigilators and reject any demand for concessional posting of examination officers. Parents must stop financing the purchase of live UTME question papers or hiring mercenaries to write examinations for their children. They should rather encourage their wards to imbibe the virtue of hard work by reading their books. Candidates should be patient and meticulous in filling their examination forms in order not to fall foul of requirement of the biometric machines.

If JAMB can overcome some of the failures of the past through the use of biometric machine in the conduct of its examination, this would restore the confidence in the UTME results, and, down the road, render the conduct of Post-UTME superfluous. The success of the machines should encourage other examination bodies, pension boards and electoral commissions in the country to consider adopting them for use in their operations to check fraudulent practices.

JAMB UTME 2011 Registration for 2011/2012 www.jamb.org.ng direct entry


JAMB UTME 2011 has come and gone, now we are at the period of anxiety. Finally the JAMB UTME 2011 results have been released? See breakdown of UTME 2011 results. You can check JAMB UTME 2011 results at www.jamb.org.ng, same Java website used for UTME 2011 registration. You will need your Reg. No., Serial No., or PIN.

Registration for the Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination, UTME 2011, organised by the Joint Admission and Matriculation Board, JAMB, for admission into tertiary institutions in Nigeria for 2011/2012 and 2012/2013 academic year has ended online. Jamb changed the UTME registration website and introduced a few changes in the UTME 2011 registration processes. Scratch card for accessing the e-registration portal for JAMB UTME 2011 sold for N4,600 at designated banks, NIPOST offices and JAMB offices nationwide. The date for JAMB UTME Exam has been shifted to June 8, 2011 to avoid clashes with NECO exams also taking place around the same period.

JAMB UTME e-registration portal is at www.jamb.org.ng/Unifiedtme/Default.aspx. To access the JAMB UTME portal for e-registration, you need a scratch card sold for N4,600 at leading banks, Post offices and JAMB offices through out Nigeria. The JAMB UTME Scratch card contains a serial number and your PIN, two vital information you require for your UTME e-registration. UTME 2011 registration will also require a finger print scanner.

JAMB has introduced a new process for 2011 UTME registration. UTME 2011 registration requires a biometric scanner. The biometric scanner (finger print reader) will be used to capture the left and right thumbs of the candidates. Candidates are advised to make sure a finger print reader is available on the computer they intend using for their JAMB UTME 2011 registration as their finger print (left and right thumb) will be read before they can sign-up for a UTME account, which is the first step in the registration process.

Another new requirement for registering for JAMB UTME 2011 is that the computer you use for your registration must have the Java Runtime Environment (JRE) installed. This is because the application that runs the Jamb UTME 2011 registration portal is based on Java programming language. Minimum of JRE 1.6 is required. Java JRE can be downloaded free on the internet, if it is not already on your system (about 10MB).

Make sure to read the instructions at the registration website before commencing your registration. The JAMB UTME 2011 Brochure is built-into the portal making it easy to search for details of your Jamb UTME courses of choice.

Registering for JAMB UTME 2011

Once you buy your JAMB UTME scratch card, the next thing to do is to visit the JAMB UTME 2011 e-registration portal. The UTME 2011 registration portal is at www.jamb.org.ng/Unifiedtme/Default.aspx. Make sure a finger print reader is available on the computer before commencing registration.

If you are an absolutely new user (i.e. you have not signed up a JAMB UTME 2011 account), use the Sign Up module with the Sign Up (New Users) heading.
Look up the serial number and PIN on your JAMB UTME 2011 scratch card and enter them in the appropriate field in the Sign Up Module. If you registered for JAMB UTME 2010 (last year), the JAMB UTME portal will automatically fetch some of your registration details for JAMB UTME 2010 if you fill-in the UTME 2010 Reg No. (if available field) field. If validation of your JAMB UTME scratch card PIN is successful, you will then be required to scan your left and right thumbs.

Once that is complete you can then proceed to creating your UTME 2011 account. You will create a username and password for logging in to the JAMB UTME 2011 portal. These username and password will be used for subsequent visits to the portal. If your username is not unique, you will be required to choose another one.

Once your JAMB UTME 2011 account is created, the registration page will load for you to commence your UTME 2011 registration. At this point, you can either logout or continue your registration. If you choose to log-out, you can continue your JAMB UTME registration by logging in with the username and password you created in the sign up process. This time you use the Log in Module. Note that subsequent visits to the JAMB UTME portal will no-longer require a fingerprint scanner, but JRE will still be required on the computer.

Before registering for JAMB UTME 2011, make sure you have your information ready. It is advisable to download the JAMB UTME 2011 form template, print a hard copy and fill, then go online and fill the online UTME registration form. Make sure to go through the online brochure at the portal to be sure you enter the right UTME subjects for your chosen course. You should also have an electronic copy of your passport sized photo ready on your computer or flash drive. An electronic copy of your passport can be made through a scanner. You can also capture directly with a digital camera.

Make sure the photo is recent, clear, and of the right size and not more than 15 kiobyte. Test the validity of your passport using the facility provided in the JAMB UTME portal. If your passport is flagged, re-size it using Microsoft photo editor. Note that the picture must also be in jpeg format.

After completing your UTME 2011 registration form, click on submit to complete the registration. Note that once you click submit, your data will be sent to JAMB and at this point you will no longer be able to edit it. You will then be issued a JAMB UTME registration number and examination number, make sure you memorise this number or at least write it down somewhere. You can print your UTME Slip. The UTME Slip can be printed at anytime, just login to print.

Try and Register for UTME 2011 Yourself

Online registration for JAMB UTME is very simple, although this year a few complexities have been added. However, if you have some basic computer skills you will be able to register yourself with little difficulty. If you already know how to browse the internet using tools like Yahoo mail, Gmail, or Facebook, then registering for JAMB UTME will probably be a piece of cake for you. However, if you are not computer literate it may be quite challenging. But that does not mean you should give it out to a consultant to do for you. The fact is that you can register for JAMB UTME yourself.

However, the need for fingerprint scanner may create some difficulty. You have to probably look for a cyber cafe with fingerprint scanners. You can use such a cafe to signup for your UTME account. You can then logout and continue the registration yourself another time or you can complete it at the internet cafe. Note that the JAMB UTME registration portal required that the Java Runtime Environment be installed on your computer.

Registering yourself for UTME 2011 online may be a great opportunity to become computer literate, so don't miss it. If you must give out your Jamb UTME registration to another person, use a friend that is computer literate and learn from him/her.

Registering yourself for JAMB UTME may also be challenging because of slow internet connections at cyber cafes as well as the capacity of the JAMB UTME registration portal. We hope JAMB have taken care of the high level of load expected during this period. Some cyber cafes may block access to JAMB UTME e-registration portal fron their cafe so that you pay them for your UTME registration. In such a situation, you are advised to look for a cyber cafe that does not offer JAMB UTME services. However, if it is impossible to register for Jamb UTME yourself, then you can give it out to a consultant or to the cyber cafe, but don't just give out your Jamb UTME registration to a consultant without first trying to register yourself.

If you outsource your JAMB UTME registration to a consultant or cyber cafe, make sure you monitor him/her to ensure that your data is properly entered. Most people with registration problem in JAMB UTME are usually those who give it out to consultants without proper monitoring. If you find the JAMB UTME portal too slow try on Sundays or at Night when traffic is minimal.

If you have your own internet connection, you can always access the JAMB UTME portal at anytime.

Note about the fingerprint scanner

JAMB UTME 2011 registration requires fingerprint scan. Although nobody is sure yet, but the fingerprint derived from the registration process may be used for gaining access to examination hall on examination date. If this the case, prospective candidates for JAMB UTME 2011, should take it very serious. Make sure your left and right thumb fingerprint are carefully scanned to avoid surprises and disappointments on UTME 2011 examination date. Make sure the biometric scanner and your hands are clean when taking the scan.

What is JAMB UTME?

JAMB is the body established by law to conduct matriculation examinations into tertiary institutions in Nigeria. JAMB used to conduct two matriculation examinations in Nigeria, the Jamb UME, a University matriculation examination, and the Jamb MPCE (also called Poly Jamb), a matriculation examination targeted at Monotechnics, Polytechnics, and Colleges of education.

Starting from 2010, JAMB started conducting only one examination. The Jamb UME and MPCE has been replaced by the Jamb UTME, which is a matriculation examination for admission into tertiary institutions. Unlike Jamb UME and MPCE results that are valid for just one year, the JAMB UTME result will be valid for two years.

In additions candidates for Jamb UTME will select two Universities, two Polytechnics, and two Colleges of Education during their registration. Based on Jamb UTME results, candidates will be allocated to any of the six institutions selected. The beauty of Jamb UTME is that candidates who fail to secure admission into Universities will still have the opportunity of securing admission into Polytechnics and Colleges of Education instead of waiting to write another Jamb.

What is JAMB Direct Entry?

Jamb Direct Entry is an opportunity provided by Jamb for candidates with advanced level qualifications to gain admission into the University. Jamb DE candidates register for direct entry to a University of their choice. Based on their performance at both advanced and ordinary level they may be offered admission. Jamb does not conduct any direct entry examination, you simply access based on your A Level and O Level performance. However, the University you apply to may conduct a Jamb direct entry screening test.

Note that there will be no Poly JAMB in 2011, so if you plan entering a University, Polytechnic, Monotechnic, or College of Education, you must seat for the Jamb UTME examination. Jamb UTME registration ends February, 2010, but Jamb DE registration is still continue till the towards the end of the first half of 2011. JAMB UTME replaces JAMB UME and JAMB MPCE from 2010.


Having seen their results candidates of the last JAMB UTME examinations for the past few weeks have been seeking information concerning JAMB UTME cut-off for various institutions and other post UTME issues. Well JAMB has broken the silence by pegging UTME cutoff to 180. JAMB announced a uniform UTME cutoff of 180 for Universities, Polytechnics, and Colleges of Education. With the release of JAMB UTME cutoff all is now set for admissions to start. A number of institutions like UNN, ESUT, DELSU, etc have completed post UTME screening while others will follow soon.


Some institutions like UNIBEN, NAU/UNIZIK, IMSU, ANSU, UNILAG, UNN, RSUST, ABSU, UNILORIN, UNAAB, DELSU, FUT Minna, Kwara Poly, and Niger Delta University, announced their JAMB UTME cut-off mark, others are yet to announce theirs. Some institutions may have higher UTME cutoff mark than that of JAMB, like UNN, UNILAG and UNILORIN that announced JAMB UTME cutoff of 200. Even within the same institution UTME cutoff will vary from course to course depending on demand. Some institutions may also set JAMB UTME cutoff mark less than that of JAMB. We are still expecting the name of the best candidate in this year's UTME exams.

However, some Institutions, mostly private universities have started announcing dates for their post UTME screening test. The only major government institution that has announced post UTME screening for 2010/2011 academic year is the University of Lagos, UNILAG. UNILAG's Post UTME screening comes up June 28,2010.
