Necessary Requirements For A Successful Admission Screening

Many
candidates
have been
asking
questions on
the kind of
preparations
they need ahead of their institutions'
admission screening exercise.
Like you already know, the screening as
stipulated by JAMB will involve the
verification of your documents and physical
examination of the candidates.
As we have always done, we would like to use
this medium to bring you up to speed
concerning what is expected of you in
preparation towards the screening exercise of
your institution.
For the sake of clarity and emphasis, I would
like to present them as bullet points.
1. Get Your O-level Results Ready: Candidates
are expected to present copies of their O-level
Certificates or Statement of Results obtained
in not more than two sittings.
Another thing you should know is that if it is
up to four years you sat for your O-level
examination, your institution will likely require
you to present the Original Certificate of the
O-level examination instead of statement of
results because it is expected that your
Original Certificate should be ready after four
years.
Therefore, if you sat for your O-level
examination four years ago and beyond, it is
advisable to go get your O-level Certificate(s)
ready before the screening exercise of your
institution. For those, whose O-level
certificates are not yet available, they can
present their statement of result. For such
candidates, they may need to provide result
checking scratch card (NECO, WAEC, NABTEB,
as applicable).
For candidates still waiting for the release of
their results, you can go for the screening with
your O-level registration slip.
Concerning the combination of results,
candidates can combine results even if it is
from different examination bodies e.g WAEC
and NECO. However, your institution may not
allow you to combine NABTEB results with
WAEC or NECO results.
2. Determine If You Have the Right Subjects
For Your Course of Study: To study your
course of study in any institution, you are
required to have a minimum of 5 credit passes
in the relevant O-level subjects. Many
candidates are not sure if their O-level
subjects tally with the course they intend to
study. Each course of study has specific
subjects a candidates must credit before he/
she qualifies for admission in that particular
course. To determine if you possess the
relevant subjects for your course of study,
follow the steps below;
If you are currently using an android phone or
device , click here
i. On the page that opens, click on
“install” (you can continue reading the
instructions below while the installation is in
progress. This may take a few seconds)
ii. After the installation, open the app and
click on the “JAMB Brochure” button
iii. Click on your Faculty (It is expected that
you should know the Faculty your course falls
under), this will open a list of courses
available in that faculty. If your course is not
on the list, go back and click on a related
faculty to check for your course of study.
iv. Click on your course of choice and wait for
the page to load. Once it loads, scroll down to
the section that indicates “O-level
Requirements” and read through to determine
the subject you must obtain credit passes to
qualify for admission in your course of study.
For non-android phones/Computer Systems ,
Access the online JAMB brochure and follow
steps iii – iv as described above.
3. Other documents you need To present: In
addition to your O-level results, you are to
present other documents which may include;
i. Birth Certificate or Affidavit of Age
Declaration
ii. JAMB Original Result Slip. If you do not
have this document, click here to get yours
iii. Screening Registration Slip (for those that
registered online)
iv. Local Government of Origin (this can be
obtained at your LGA Secretariat)
4. Physical examination: JAMB disclosed that
candidates will equally be examined based on
appearance to know if they are cultists or
"future cultists". That sounds funny. I wonder
how you can tell who is a cultist or who would
likely be one just by looking at the person's
face unless you are a fortune teller or a
prophet.
Be as it is, make sure you dress responsibly so that there won't be any problem for you. If you have my tattoo or piercing, make sure you clean it or cover it properly. If you have any question concerning the screening exercise, comment below!

ASUU Warns Of Imminent Crisis, Kicks Against The Scrapping Of Post-UTME _Beegist Updates

The
Academic
Staff Union
of
Universities
(ASUU) has
disclosed
that the nation’s universities may soon
experience crisis if the federal government
fails to begin the implementation of the 2009
ASUU-FG agreement, especially the NEEDS
assessment agreement.
The Union equally demanded that the federal
government reverse the ban on post-UTME as
well as the exclusive right granted to JAMB to
admit students into tertiary institutions.
The ASUU president, Biodun Ogunyemi made
this known while addressing new men
yesterday in Abuja.
According to him, the scrapping of Post-UTME
and the position of the Federal government on
the issue portends serious danger for the
quality of education in this country.
He emphasized that since the introduction of
Post-UTME, there has been improvement in
the quality of students admitted into the
universities as evident in the declining drop-
out rate and urged the federal government to
reconsider its decision and convene a
stakeholders meeting before making any
policy.
