The Joint Admission Matriculation Board has release steps to take by candidates who are not satisfied with their 2013 UTME scores.

Sometimes ago, the Registrar of the examination board, Prof. Dibu Ojerinde had asked the 2013 JAMB UTME Candidates who feel their scripts were not well-marked by JAMB to apply for remarking and if any mistakes were found, JAMB would compensate candidate with the sum of N100,000.

The steps are as follows:

Step 1. Go to JAMB’s office, located in Abuja.

Step 2. You are to pay an application fee of N10,000, and a receipt will be issued to you.

Step 3. Your answer script  will be retrieved and re-marked in your presence.

NOTE: The initial N10,000 you will pay is not refundable if you were given the right score by JAMB.

Once your scripts are marked, there are two possibilities

1 .If you were scored correctly by JAMB, you'll lose your N10,000 and you should therefore look ahead toward another exam in 2014.


PLEASE TAKE NOTE BEFORE WASTING YOUR TIME AND MONEY TO ABUJA

a).Any script marked A or C WILL BE AUTOMATICALLY DISQUALIFIED.ONLY SCRIPTS HAVING B,D,I,U or D,I,B,U qualify for remarking!

b)This arrangement might imply that if you do not have your result by now there is a very high possibility that your deposit might achieve nothing.


2.If  your script(s) qualifies and JAMB made a mistake by giving you a wrong score, this will prompt JAMB to officially apologize for its mistake and the inconvenience caused.The Board will not only officially recognize your actual score,but will also give a compensation of N100,000!

The procedure starts on the 3rd of June 2013..

3.HOW TO CALCULATE YOUR JAMB, POST UTME, O LEVEL COMPOSITE

Your Jamb score is allocated 50%, hence your jamb score is divided by 8. Your O level is 20%

It is calculated using the 5 core subjects as follows


*A1-6points
*B2-5
*B3-4
*C4-3
*C5-2
*C6-1

The total points is then mutiplied by 2/3.
Your Post utme score is multiplied by 0.3

Example: a candidate had 202 in Jamb and his O level goes thus. Maths-B3, Chemistry-C4, Biology- B2, English-C5, Physics-C6, Economic-B3, Geography-A1 and had 58% in the post utme.

To calculate his composite, this is how it’s done.

Jamb score divided by 8 i.e 202/8=25.25

For the O level, only 5 subjects (math, english, chemistry, biology, and physics) are needed. There he has Math-B3-4points,English-C5-2point,Chemistry-C4-3points,Biology-B2-5points, Physics-C6-1point

Total gross points for O level= 4+2+3+5+1=15. This score is then multiplied by 2/3 i.e 15 x 2/3=10.

His post utme score is multiplied by 0.3. I.e 58 x 0.3=17.4

Therefore, James composite is the sum of these 3 scores I.e Jamb+O’level+po­st utme. That is 25.25+10+17.4=5 ­2.65

Hence, the candidate's composite is 52.65
