Problems and Prospects of Post-UME/UTME in Nigerian Universities

Danjuma Munkaila, Abdulazeez Sikiru Adeyinka

Abstract: Post-UME/UTME is a screening / examination that each candidate seeking for admission into any tertiary institution in Nigeria has to undergo in order to test candidate’s ability due to various forms of examination malpractices persisting in Joint Admission and Matriculation Board (JAMB), National Examination Council (NECO) and West African Examination Council (WAEC). The study highlighted some of the problems associated with post-UME/UTME as pointed out by some individuals opposing the adoption of post-UME/UTME, contributions of some individuals supporting the exercise were also narrated and different analyses on the performance of candidates in JAMB examination (UTME scores) and post-UTME (post-UTME scores) were carried out. The results of paired t-test between UTME score and post-UTME score shows that there is a significant difference between the means of the two scores. The study has also discovered the use of arithmetic mean is not significantly different from weighted arithmetic mean with arbitrary values of 0.4 and 0.6 on utme score and post-utme score respectively.
