A MUST READ : Why The Results Of Some Candidates Won't Be Released – Registrar

Examination body, Joint Admission and Matriculation Board on Thursday states that the results of candidates identified in footages of Close Circuit Television (CCTV) to have indulged in unwholesome practices during the just-concluded Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) won't be released.

Registar of JAMB, Ishaq Oloyede, who spoke on Channels Television Sunrise Daily said the agency had been busy in the past days reviewing recorded footages of the examination across the country, and that a number of candidates had been marked out for sanction.

Oloyede, was responding to a question by one of the anchors of the programme on why some candidates were yet to receive their results despite promises by JAMB to release outcomes within 24 hours.

The registrar said, “Those who have not received (their results) are qualified not to receive for now. In all cases where there were no problems, we released results of the examination within 24 hours.

“But those who have not (received their results), they may not be culpable but we are investigating. Where we have reason to doubt anything or where we have report of anything that is not acceptable to us, we have withheld the results.

“And we will keep on releasing them as we clear them. For instance, this morning, we released another 15,000 results. But among those who sat in that centre, we have reasons, concrete evidence to say about 300 of them, their results will not be released because we know they were not in the hall where the examination took place.





JAMB 2017 Change Of Course/Institution Has Started



We just received information that the Joint Admission And Matriculation Board (JAMB) has started selling forms for the 2017 Change of Course/Institution.
According to the reports we received, the processing and submission of the form can only be done at accredited CBT Centres across the country.


Before you carry out the change of course/institution process, there are some important decisions you need to make. Below are some of those decisions;
1).Decide the exact Course/Institution you would like to make changes to. Make these decisions while you are still at home, your parents/guardian can be of great help here. Do not make this decision at the decision at the CBT center because chances are that you will make serious mistakes.
2).Research properly on the institution/course you want to change to ensure they will suit your JAMB score especially if you have seen your score. Make sure the new course/institution you choose will give you a higher chance of getting admitted.
3).Bear in mind that once the form is submitted, you can no longer make any changes again. That means there no room for errors.
4).It is extremely important that you select a Course/Institution that aligns with your subject combination, else, your chances of getting admitted will be jeopardized.
5).There may be a limited number of schools or courses you can change to, so be sure to have 3 or 4 options, just in case the one you want to change to is not available.
You could be charged about N2,500 or more to effect these changes.
Please use the Online JAMB Brochure to ensure the course you are choosing is done in your choice institution.
We wish you success and hope to see you in your dream institution





A MUST READ: Important Things To Do That Might Save Your Life During Accident

Here are important things you can do, that just might save your life during an accident. A road is something no one wants to experience, well, there are steps to take to help prevent bad occurrences such as injuries and even worse, death.

Take a tips below, and make sure you follow them next time you are on the road.


1).Always Wear Your Seat Belt

This is something you should never ignore. I know most of us do this when we see road safety officials ahead of us. But that’s not enough, seat belts are there to save you, so try to make use of them.

2).Keep Potential Flying Objects Safe

At times during an accident, it is not the collision that causes the damage, but the objects in the vehicle. You sure wouldn’t want sharp objects or any object that could cause harm to you, flying around, so keep objects you don’t use frequently in the boot. Keep your pen in the glove box. To stay safe.
When buying a car try to shift your focus from just the aesthetics and fuel economy of the car. You should also take into consideration the crash tests and safety ratings of a car before buying.

3). Don't Over Speed

Have you come across this before, speed thrills, but kill. Well, if you a true road user, you must have come across this fact. Even if the road is totally free, you should limit your speed. In case of an accident, when you are not over speeding the force of impact would be less and injuries minimal.

4).Aim For An Object That Would Do Least Damage

In case of an accident, aim for an object that would do least damage, both to yourself and others. This is why you should always be alert and conscious of your environment, when driving. Children are lighter than you are and can easily get thrown around when an accident occurs. So keep them buckled up always!.

5).Always Have Emergency Number On Speed Dial

Always have an emergency number on speed dial. If possible activate voice control on your phone ,because you might not be able to move. You should also have phone numbers of loved ones saved and on speed dial, with easily identifiable names like “wife” and “mum” etc. This helps.
