THE expectation of numerous students looking for induction into Nigerian colleges might be dashed if the confirmation screening in 2017 depends on understudies' WASSCE comes about and Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) scores. Review that in 2016, the Minister of Education, Mallam Adamu, annulled post-UTME as a methods for conceding hopefuls into tertiary foundations.
Pillar CBT-Center
In the interim, in 2017, more than one million, eight hundred thousand (1,800,000) understudies sat for UTME, for a sum of 800,000 affirmation spaces in tertiary foundations. Passing by the enormous number of hopefuls and restricted confirmation spaces, different organizations have since 2016, made plans to concede understudies by screening and granting imprints to their WASSCE results and JAMB scores.
In this way, for an establishment to choose the best understudies from the huge number, rather than directing post-UTME just like the case already, all that is required now is to review applicants' O'Level results and score them more than 40 for each penny. The breakdown demonstrates that when a competitor presents his/her O'Level come about for screening, five O'Level subjects identifying with his proposed program of study will be analyzed and checks granted in view of what he scored in WASSCE.
Subsequently, A1 is granted 8%, B2-7%, B3-6%, C4-5%, C5-4% and C6-3%. Add up to marks for anybody with five A1s is 40 for every penny. This means if a competitor has five 'A1s', he has gotten a greatest 40 for every penny. An understudy with five B2s, would score 35 for each penny, five B3s, 30 for every penny, five C4s, gets 25 for every penny, five C5s, 20 for every penny and five C6s would score only 15 for every penny.
Moreover, since establishments found that many hopefuls who pick their schools have above UTMEs cut-off imprints, they have additionally evaluated UTME's scores into rates. In the event that an UTME hopeful has 180 to 189, he is accepted to have scored 10 for every penny. In the event that he scored between 190 and199, he gets 20 for each penny. For the individuals who scored in the vicinity of 200 and 209, they have 30 for every penny while somebody who scored in the vicinity of 210 and 219 gets 40 for each penny. The individuals who scored in the vicinity of 220 and 229, procure 50 for each penny and an understudy with 230 or more gets the most extreme 60 for every penny.
Obviously, an understudy who has five A1s in WASSCE and furthermore scored 230 or more in UTME, is certrain to be conceded in light of the fact that he has 40 for each penny in WASSCE and 60 for every penny in UTME.
Securing confirmation
For an understudy with five C6s in WASSCE, and in the vicinity of 190 and 199 in UTME, the odds of securing confirmation out in the open organizations is unpredictable on the grounds that he has just scored 15 for each penny in WASSCE and 20 for every penny in UTME. His aggregate rate score is 35 for each penny. With this framework, it implies that understudies seeking to secure induction into Nigerian state funded colleges must investigation hard and be scholastically solid to acquire An or B reviews in WASSCE to stand a shot.
The initiators of this advancement trust it will push understudies to point high in order to get A1 in five subjects. Likewise, the issue of paying for post-UTME and voyaging long separations for the examination would be a relic of days gone by.
Exam racketeering
In the mean time, in the same class as it shows up at first glance, numerous partners who talked with
Vanguard deviated, taking note of that the improvement will breed and advance examination racketeering in optional schools and examination bodies. They contended that a few understudies and guardians could go to any length to acquire the five A1s keeping in mind the end goal to ensure their affirmation.
Tragically, commonly, understudies with C5 and C6 in their WASSCE results may end up being preferable scholastically over those with A1 in light of the fact that they read and composed the examination themselves, subsequently the outcomes speak to genuine impressions of their scholarly capacities. It has additionally been seen that numerous understudies with A1s in their WASSCE can't protect such outcomes in light of the fact that the exams were most likely composed for them.
Furthermore, where there is no legitimate checking from important examination specialists, tertiary foundations can take part in offer of admission to the most noteworthy bidders so the posibility of offspring of the poor securing confirmation will be thin. There had been reports from understudies about how their names were once glued on affirmation see sheets, however supplanted by other understudies' names; a circumstance such school experts couldn't protect when reached.
Confirmation for most elevated bidder
Responding to the rejecting of Post-UTME and utilizing WASSCE result as measuring stick for confirmation, Olamide Azeez, a 100-Level understudy of Yabatech said post-UTME gives organizations the benefit of knowing the kind of understudies they need to concede. He included that post-UTME helped understudies to get ready all the more scholastically before they enter the college.
Likewise responding, Miss Damilola Adeleke, a last year understudy of Biology, Yabatech stated: "The rejecting of post-UTME does not support everyone. Post-UTME helped understudies to support their odds of securing entrance into colleges."
On his part, Mr. Akinbiyi Folorunsho from the Department of Mathematics of the foundation stated: "Without post-UTME, there will be high rate of examination negligence in auxiliary schools. Post-UTME is best since it will be 50-50 affirmation chances for each searcher."
Adeyinka Adebayo, an undergrad at Laspotech said he bolsters post-UTME, including that there will be high rate of unadmitted understudies without post-UTME.
"On the off chance that care is not taken, the circumstance will prompt affirmation excess, in light of the fact that numerous understudies will continue doing JAMB consistently without any expectation of getting confirmation."
