UTME: 1.7m candidates jostle for 850,000 admission slots

Increase carrying capacity in varsities — Stakeholders

By Dayo Adesulu

THIS Saturday, the more than 1.8 million candidates who registered for the 2017 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examinations (UTME) will jostle for about 850,000 admission spaces. At the end of the admission process, about 850,000 admission seekers will be left out.

Sadly, while the number of UTME candidates increases every year, the Federal Ministry of Education is virtually doing nothing in terms of upgrading the carrying capacity of the existing universities or building more universities to absorb the backlog of admission applicants. This would have made it impossible for candidates who applied for admission and scored 250, to be denied admission.

Disqualificationof many applicants

As it stands, even if all the candidates score 300 and above, because of the limited spaces, JAMB and various institutions will still have to devise a means to disqualify many applicants.

Statistics reveal that while candidates who registered for the UTME rose from 1.5 million to 1.8 million within three years, admission spaces have remained static. The only increment in admission spaces were derived from the private universities and few state universities. Of course, many students and parents are unwilling to patronise private universities due to its financial implications and other individual considerations.

JAMB’s annual examination data reveals that in the past five years, the average number of candidates that registered for the UTME is 1.5 million, just as the universities, polytechnics and colleges of education combined have 700,000 spaces. Therefore, while the Federal Government considers approval of more universities as a solution to the yearly admission deficits, many stakeholders are urging it to concentrate more on expanding the existing universities and also encourage students to seek other options for tertiary education.

Although, all UTME candidates under Professor Ishaq Oloyede administration have been mandated to choose one college of education, polytechnic and university, however, it is not clear how many admission seekers are willing to settle for polytechnic education. Many who spoke with Vanguard insisted that they would rather study education in the university than in colleges of education.

Perhaps, if the Federal Government removes the disparities between the university and polytechnic graduates, maybe many students will accept the offer, thereby reducing the number of candidates that crave for university education.

Speaking with Vanguard on this issue, the President of Eden Global Business School (EGBS), Mr. Tunji Adepoju, who averred that there is a significant problem with the carrying capacity of tertiary education system. According to him, in the past five years, we have had about 1.7 million students sitting for JAMB, adding, “the carrying capacity of our tertiary education system, including the polytechnics and colleges of education is around 500,000.”

He explained that the innovation enterprise institutions, vocational enterprises, NBT have additional 250,000. All in all the total carrying capacity is about 750, 000, noting “Every year, we have about 1.1 million students actually qualified; they have passed JAMB, met the minimum cut off point, and here we are, the unified carrying capacity is 750,000.

“The polytechnics, colleges of education, federal and state institutions, are about 500, 000. The innovation enterprise is about 250, 000, so we have a shortfall every year of about 500, 000 students that would be qualified and competent but would not get admission.”

Lamenting the fate of the over one million admission seekers, he said that over the years, they have fallen into the hands of crooks and charlatans. Many of them, he added have been deceived by mushroom outfits because they are desperate to get admission. Adepoju said that crooks have capitalized on this to extort gullible students.

Meanwhile, for JAMB examinations on Saturday, candidates have been urged to visit its website and print out their examination slips, as every information they need for the examination is there.

JAMB spokesperson, Dr. Fabian Benjamin, in a telephone conversation with Vanguard said: “Candidates’ examination centres and the notification about the days of their examination are already posted on our website, let them go to the website, click their profile and print it out.”

Posting on website

He disclosed that the examination which will begin on May 13, will run through 20, adding that candidates who were still expecting JAMB to send information through text messages should go to the website and check the day of their examination.

Benjamin also debunked the insinuations that JAMB has transferred candidates to various states of the country other than the states chosen by applicants during their registration.

According to him, no student has been transferred to other state for examination other than the states chosen by the candidate on the day of registration. “Candidates were allowed to choose the examination town, while JAMB chooses a centre among the centres in a town for the candidate,” he explained.

He maintained that all is now set for the 1.7 million registered candidates to jostle for the over 850,000 admission spaces in the tertiary institutions nationwide.

ABUJA – The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has made clarification on guidelines for this year’s admission into Nigerian universities. It denied that the much talked about point system would be used for admissions into higher institutions in the country.

In a statement issued on Sunday, JAMB’s Head of Media and Information, Dr. Fabian Benjamin, said the point system being bandied around was an illustration made by the registrar, Prof. Dibu Ojerinde.

According to the statement, the Federal Government had approved the re-enforcement of admission guideline by law.

He said all tertiary institutions have consequently been directed to adhere strictly to the guidelines.

Benjamin said admission would be based on three pillars – merit, catchment area and educationally disadvantaged states.

“Sequel to the recent workshop convened by the Minister of Education on the modality for 2016 admission into tertiary institutions in Nigeria, the Federal Government approved the re-enforcement of admissions guideline recognised by law.

“This is following the cancellation of the post Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination.

“This is not the point system as widely circulated in some media.

“For the avoidance of doubt, the board wishes to state clearly that the point system is an illustration by the Registrar of JAMB.

“It is meant to demonstrate how a few institutions were using the point system to select candidates while some of their counterparts were subjecting candidates to written test.

“The illustrations are contained in a paper presented by the registrar and placed on our website and was adopted by the media wrongly as the 2016 guideline for admission,” the statement reads in part.

Benjamin said the 2016 admissions would not require the conduct of another test either written or oral as candidates would only present their Senior School Certificate Examination results/Advanced Level results for verification and clearing purposes.

He stated that WAEC, NECO and NBTE results or its equivalent were acceptable as matriculation requirements.

Each candidate was expected to have a minimum of five credits at SSCE, including English, Mathematics and any other three relevant subjects to his or her discipline.

The list of qualified candidates awaiting SSCE/AL results could be kept in view pending the release of their results.

The statement stated further, “Any candidate that does not possess the requirements as listed above is deemed to have failed the screening.

“Consideration of the recommended list as forwarded by JAMB should be completed within one month from the date of receipt of the list.

“Any institution that has a shortfall in the admitted candidates could make-up for candidates from other departments on the institutions list.

“Reasons for rejection of candidates on the list should be clearly stated with proof provided alongside.

“This is imperative so that the general public will note the correct process.”
