JAMB has been around since 1978 and I think the board need to change certain things.

1. Exams should be conducted more than once in a year. At least 4 times in a year. This will afford people with low scores the opportunity to rewrite the exam without having to wait for one year.

2. The results should be valid for a minimum of 4 years, which is the average duration of a degree course in Nigeria.

3. The exam should be standardized and percentile rankings of candidates should be displayed. This will ensure that the performance of a candidate relative to others who sat for the exam is known.

4. Admission into University, Polytechnics, Monotechnics, and Colleges of Education should be based on the percentile rankings.
75th percentile should be the minimum requirement for University admission;
60th for Colleges of Education that run 3-year programmes;
50th for Polytechnics and Monotechnics.

5. No 4 will ensure that only relatively intelligent people are trained as University students.
It will also ensure that creative, crafty and technically minded people, an ability which is not tested in JAMB exams, are admitted into Polytechnics.
Teachers are in between.

This are the changes I hope to see. They are what I will effect if I ever become the JAMB Registrar, Minister of education or President of Nigeria.

Crap and loads of horseshit.

JAMB is fine and those who have attempted to beat the system are either on the run or in police net

Do you even know how many professors came together to design JAMB policies.?

So we should change JAMB system because an IIGB0 girl criminally forged her result which has nothing to do with JAMB.

I think you should encourage youths particularly from South East to stay away from crime generally

Local champion professors like you. It is obvious you are not educated, hence the reason for your comprehension problem.
You have also not written standardized tests of western countries like SAT, ACT, GRE, etc.
I don't know what the case of the Anambra girl has got to do with my opinion. But ignoramus like you must comment.
