THE 2015
COMBINED POLICY MEETING ON ADMISSIONS TODEGREE, NIGERIA CERTIFICATE IN EDUCATION AND
GENERAL CONDUCT OF 2015 UNIFIED TERTIARY MATRICULATION EXAMINATION
The 2015 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination was conducted EXCLUSIVELY on a Computer-Based Testing (CBT) mode from Tuesday, 10th to Tuesday, 24th March, 2015.
INTRODUCTION
The examination was conducted throughout the Federation and eight (8) Foreign Centres viz:
JAMB has adopted modern technology for greater efficiency in her operations since 2007.
The adoption of all-inclusive CBT for the entire population of Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) candidates in 2015 created some unique challenges and issues with respect to incorporating candidates with special needs.
COMPUTER BASED TEST (CBT) – for the Visually Impaired
The purpose is to accommodate all categories of
candidates
Categories of UTME candidates with special needs include:
Visually impaired candidates Albinos and partially sighted candidates Prison inmates candidates Physically disabled candidates. Nigerians in diaspora Foreigners wishing to study in Nigeria.

“GOD DON WIN OOO!”
A physically-challenged candidate on his wheelchair was crying before the examination in Osogbo, Osun State and begged if he could be given extra time.
2015 CBT ANECDOTES
We urged him to start and that if the need arose, he would be given additional time. Surprisingly, he sang aloud after 1 hour, 50 minutes “I don finish oh! God don win ooo etc”. Moving closer to him, it was observed that he had actually finished.
Amazingly, he almost jumped off his wheelchair later that afternoon when he received his result
through an SMS. He scored 245.

“JUST EIGHT KEYS”
The reaction of one of the visually impaired
candidates at the practice session on the eve of the
CBT at the Kogi State Polytechnic, Lokoja, is worthy
of documentation.
On being presented with a BrailleNote Apex (a
refreshable computer braille), one candidate, John
Norman Friday, exclaimed ‘You mean with just these
eight (8) keys on the machine, I can write the UTME
on my own?’ We thus replied in the affirmative. He immediately dumped the bulky and antiquated
typewriter that he had brought with him and called
out to his guide outside that he was in safe hands
and that he could leave.

“SO WE CAN ALSO GET OUR RESULTS AS OTHER CANDIDATES!”
A visually impaired candidate, Ladan Mustapha Ishah, wrote the 2015 UTME CBT at the JAMB Zonal Office, Minna.
After his examination, he asked the technical staff in charge of the visually impaired when his result would be released and he was told that he would get it later that day.
In astonishment, he shouted “Whao! This is good, so we too can also get our results as other candidates?!”.

“This...is...ama...zing!”
The CBT for the visually impaired candidates in Edo State came as a welcome development to the candidates, their parents and relatives. To make things easier for the candidates, a training session was organized on the use of the BrailleNote Apex gadget a day to the examination.
As the examination was going on the first day, 10th March 2015, one of the proctors at the University of Benin ICT Centre came to the Boardroom where the visually impaired candidates were taking their examination. She did not believe it when she was told that the candidates were blind.
She went ahead to ask them if they were actually blind. When they affirmed this, she further asked, if they could see her and they said no. She observed them for a while and screamed aloud in surprise ‘This...is...ama...zing!.’

In order to adapt CBT for the Visually Impaired, they are further classified as:
Those who can read Braille Those that cannot read Braille Those with low vision including
albinos.

ADMISSIONS OF CANDIDATES FROM PRINTOUTAND THE NEED TO WAIT FOR FEEDBACK
All institutions MUST admit from the printout
during the whole process of admissions.
Admissions Officers should wait [minimum of
forty-eight (48) hours] and get a feedback on the
submission of candidates recommended for
admission.
This is to ensure that only the list of candidates
duly admitted are pasted on their campuses.
30
CANDIDATES NOT ADMITTED BY THE CERTIFICATE-ISSUING INSTITUTIONS
Affiliate institutions may not have enough
applicants to admit.
Certificate-issuing institutions are therefore
encouraged to forward the list of excess
candidates on their admissions print-out to
their affiliated institutions.
31
ADMITTING IJMB CANDIDATES INTO 100 LEVELS
It has been discovered that some institutions admit holders of IJMB to 100 levels.
This practice SHOULD STOP.
Henceforth, all holders of IJMB results should be admitted into 200 levels of the programmes of their choices.
