JAMB Confirms Exam Dates for 2017 UTME

The Joint Admission And Matriculation Board has officially confirmed that the 2017 UTME (the actual examination) will commence 6 May and end on 20 May, 2017 (excluding May 12, 2017 because of Candidates sitting for WAEC's Further Mathematics examination).

That simply means that the examination will commence 2 weeks after the end of registration.

You can consult the official JAMB 2017 Registration guidelines for the detailed registration timeline and information.

If there are no challenges, the examination is expected to last for only 14 days.

For candidates who usually wait till after the registration to start preparing for examination, I believe by now you already know it's not going to favour you this time.

So your best option is to start studying seriously and if you have been doing that already, well done!

“In Dependence” - A New Book Introduced By JAMB For 2017 UTME Candidates

According to the information on the official publication announced the registration details and process for 2017 UTME, a new book: “In Dependence” by Sarah Ladipo Manyika, has been introduced for candidates sitting for 2017 UTME.

Irrespective of your course of study or method of testing, you will be tested on this book.

A Little About The Book: “In Dependence”

The book is written by a Nigerian named SARAH LADIPO MANYINKA who was born in Ibadan (South West Nigeria) in the late 1930s.

"In Dependence" tells the story of Tayo Ajayi, a Nigerian man who gets a scholarship to study at Oxford in the 1960s, and Vanessa Richardson, the daughter of an ex-colonial officer. Tayo meets and falls in love with Vanessa Richardson, a British colonial officer’s daughter. And they negotiate their relationship against a background of race and racism. While it is a story of their love which spans from 1963 to 1998, it's way more than that.

It's also a story about Nigeria, its independence and the changes that occur in the country post-independence - the Biafran war, the first coup and the numerous countercoups, military dictatorships, the brief return to civilian rule, exile of Nigerians, and towards the end of the book the eventual return to democracy.

There are also issues of race, racism and cultural differences.

JAMB 2017 Candidates To Choose Only One Public University During Registration

The Joint Admission Matriculation Board (JAMB) has disclosed that candidates for the 2017 UTME will not be able to choose two public universities during the registration.

This was disclosed through the board's twitter handle. It reads: “candidates can select NCE as their choice up to three times I.e 1st choice, 2nd choice and 3rd choice.
“But they are not allowed to select two public universities as choices. If candidates select a public university as their degree awarding choices, they are allowed to select a private university as another choice.”

According to the Mr. Benjamin Head of Information JAMB, the Board took the restrictions because candidates hardly get admissions into their second and third choice universities.
“Yes we restricted the choice to one but candidates can choose as many colleges or polytechnics,” he said.

“We discovered it was of no use choosing a university as second choice when in actual sense they can’t even accommodate their first choices,” the JAMB official said.

What do you think of this development and the reason given by JAMB for this?

Open Letter to JAMB 2017 Candidates - Use This Time To Prepare Adequately

I know many of you had almost forgotten about the upcoming 2017 UTME examination, well, this post is to remind you that JAMB registration is still being expected any moment from now.

It is said that most disappointments are blessings in disguise, the delay in commencement of JAMB registration has provided enough time for candidates to prepare. As a matter of fact, I believe that 2017 JAMB candidates have good chances of excelling in the exam considering the ample time they have to study unlike in previous years.

In my opinion, try to use this time wisely, because to whom much is given, much is expected lol...I mean JAMB has given you much time to prepare, do you think you really have any one to blame if you fall below expectation?

There may not be enough time to study once the registration commences. This is the time to read as much as you can, get all the necessary information that you need, Jamb Syllabus should not be far-fetched from you at this point.

Most candidates fail examinations as a result of nonchalance in studying. Some feel they are intelligent and therefore do not see studying as necessary due to over confidence.

Identify the areas/subjects you have problems and dedicate more time on them, believe me by the time you keep reviewing them, they will no longer be a problem.

Going through JAMB past questions is a very helpful measure to take towards preparing for JAMB examination. CBT practice software has made it easy for candidates to prepare, so it is important you access these resources.

Do not depend on "micro chips" or all forms of malpractices, beware of blogs that claim to have answers to 2017 JAMB questions. Do not patronize them. You might be scammed and disappointed on that day.

Always test yourself and see how accurately you can answer questions. The time to prepare is now!!!
