JAMB’s new admission criteria for 2016/2017

editor

In separate meetings with representatives of universities, polytechnics and colleges of education, the Joint Admission and Matriculation Board (JAMB), recently made public the criteria for next academic session.

– 90% for UTME

– 10% for DE

Private Universities:

Ratio: 60: 40 (SCIENCES / ARTS)

 

  1. CONVENTIONAL INSTITUTIONS

(Universities and Colleges of Education)

Sciences (60): Arts/Social Sciences (40)

 

  1. SPECIALIZED UNIVERSITIES

– Sciences, Technology, Agriculture, etc (Not less than 80%)

– Others (Not more than 20%)

 

  1. POLYTECHNICS, COLLEGES OF TECHNOLOGY, etc

– Science/Technology Related (70) : Arts Related (30)

UTME/DIRECT ENTRY RATIO: 9 : 1

That is:

– 90% for UTME

– 10% for DE

ISSUES TO NOTE

– The list of candidates that have scored above the minimum cut-off mark, and are NOT admitted may be forwarded to other institutions that need them for consideration. Especially their Second  Choice institutions of preferences.

 

Assess your admission chance

The rules:

  1. Screening of candidates shall be for those offered Provisional Admissions ONLY.
  2. No written examination to be conducted.
  3. Verification of Course Requirements (O levels or A levels).
  4. Verification of valid JAMB results by checking

i.Online Result Slip

ii.Printout

iii.Provisional Admission Letter

iv.Photo Album

v.Check list

vi.Biometrics

vii. Before a candidate can seat be considered for screening, he/she must have been given provisional admission by Jamb.

viii. Institutions are free to source from other Course(s) to compensate for SHORTFALL in any of the criteria.

The point system:

This is the most critical part of the process. Jamb’s provisional admission no longer makes much sense this year, your points tally will decide your faith. The points are evenly spread out between your O’level and Jamb results to provide a level playing field for all.

In the first case, any candidate who submits only one result which contains his/her relevant subjects already has 10 points, the exam could be NECO, WAEC, GCE etc, but any candidate who has 2 sittings only gets 3 points. So this means that aspirants with only one result are at an advantage but only just.

The next point grades fall into the O’level grades. Each grades has it’s equivalent point, A=6 marks, B=4 marks, C=3 marks, so the better your grades the better your chances.

The next point is the UTME scores. Each score range has its equivalent point which can be summarized thus, 180-200=20-23 marks, 200-250=24-33 points, 251-300=34-43, 300-400=44-60 points. Each category contains 5 Jamb results per point added, for example a candidate with 180-185 gets 20points, a candidate with 186-190 gets 21 points etc.

Points system for DE will be released soon.

– It then comes down to the fact that fees will still be charged for screening, it depends on the school as well.

– Catchment and ELDS will still be used!

  • Blackjack online in Canada

    The origin of Black Jack (just like the origin of the other popular casino card game
    – poker) is permanently disputed about. French categorically say blackjack is a native son of the French Chemin de Fer game.
    The Italians, with their southern inherent passion argue
    that blackjack is a vulgarized of a less sophisticated truly Italian version of ‘Seven and
    a half’. Americans argue that blackjack was smelted in the USA; and in accordance with the scientific theory of this game appeared in America.
    Even Canadian researchers have recently shared the evidence of
    appearance of the game in Canada. Linguists believe there is a French track in the appearance of the game.

    In American Handbook released in 1875 the game is listed under the name ‘Vingt-et-Un’, which means
    ‘ twenty-one’ in French. In our times, some people call
    it familiarly Van John or Pontoon.
    Black Jack: the rules

    At the beginning of the game the player is handed out two
    cards; the dealer hands out one card at a time. Basing on the sum of the
    combination of the first two cards a player decides whether to
    take additional cards to get 21 points, or skip the opportunity.
    If you exceed 21 points or total points or take fewer
    points than the dealer, you lose.

    If a gambler makes his mind to go on with the amount and skips the turn, the dealer hands out the cards
    to form his own combination. If the total amount of points exceeds the
    player’s one, then the dealer is the winner. If both player and dealer hit an equal amount of points, the session ends in a
    draw. The amount of the points depends on the
    value of a particular card. Black Jack combination is an Ace plus a 10 points card; the combination wins
    except the dealer has a Black Jack too (in this case, the session ends in a draw). http://www.nbso.ca/

  • Online casino & Gambling Industry Numbers Revealed

    Gambling in Canada is an industry with a turnover exceeding CA$14.5 billion a
    year according to the official statistics. The country houses
    70+ casino houses, 100k+ slot machines and about
    25k+ temporary casino and bingo-type establishments.
    Read more

    In Ontario, there is one slot machine per 350 citizens, while the growth rate equals 15% per year approximately.
    On average, each Canadian over 19 years (not counting tourists) spends from CA$600 to CA$900 on gambling annually.
    Gambling, roughly speaking, regulated by the state like a franchise where license is acquired through the Commission on alcohol and gambling; provincial governments determine the type of games
    allowed in their territory. For example, Ontario and British Columbia allow
    casinos, horse racing and slot machines, while video lottery terminals and similar gaming machines are prohibited.

    The cost of building and equipping a permanent casino is estimated at 40-50 million Canadian dollars
    approximately. Establishing a temporary casino (including ships
    and hotel rooms) is cheaper (40 – 60%). The price of a legal Canadian casino operating in full accordance with the provincial regulation starts from CA$80 million.
    Online Casinos Of Canada: The Regulation Point Of Reference

    Conducting gambling business in Canada is illegal until it
    is not legally regulated in accordance with the statements indicated in the country’s Criminal Code as well as sanctioned by the authorities of all the Canadian provinces.
    The legislating responsibilities have been delegated to provinces, considered
    to be the main stakeholders when it comes to casino or poker room legalization. The full powers
    have been granted to local powers in 1985, and since then the sphere
    of influence remains untouched (therefore, only the provinces are eligible
    to authorize a gambling establishment).

    The Criminal Code contains two sections that represent core appropriations
    that regulate the country’s gambling industry. Despite the fact that all the
    provinces take part in the national lottery program, the provincial or
    regional authorities are entitled to permit or prohibit the activity.
    Therefore, the senior officials of Alberta may ban the particular game of chance on the
    territory of the province, while the same activity can function in Ontario at the same time.

    Online Slots Regulation In Alberta

    The responsibility for supervising and regulating gambling businesses in Alberta lies on the
    local gaming and liquor commission (also known as AGLC).
    In its turn, the organization is comprised of two
    departments: the Corporation and the Board. The Corporation represents the functional mechanism of the system, while
    the Board carries the governmental policy into effect through the triggers under
    its control. The organization elaborates the strategic directions and policies as well as delivers the implementation in conjunction with the largest financial institutions of Canada.
    AGLC is empowered to ensure the compliance of local gambling businesses with the fundamental principles indicated in Criminal Code as well as the documents adopted
    by the organization itself.

    In fact, the organization holds the power to license, regulate
    and monitor games of chance activities located in Alberta.
    The province occupies the second position in the list
    of the major Canadian gambling provinces, ceding the leadership role to Ontario.
    The organization is characterized by a relatively loyal (by the standards
    of Canada) attitude towards gambling activities and/or enterprises, looking forward to conduct their business in Alberta.
    Therefore, AGLC adopted a far-famed charitable license
    model that helps dozens of organizations to raise
    funds for a particular project.
    Online Casino Canada: Responsible Gambling

    The year of 2004 heralded the era of new attitude towards gambling organization and virtually all the
    stakeholders involved in gambling activities. A large cohort
    of non-profit establishments, gambling providers and regulators united their efforts towards
    transparent and responsible gambling in Canada within the framework of CPRG, or the Canadian Partnership for
    Responsible Gambling.

    Initially, the organization aimed at gathering comprehensive info
    on a broad variety of gambling aspects across Canada, and
    the result of the effort was the release of the gambling digest, now published annually.
    The digest includes statistical data on the state of affairs in each Canadian province: from overall revenues and quantitative characteristics
    on gambling businesses to revenue distribution and highly specialized data.

    The digest itself represents a nicely crafted document with dozens
    of tables, charts and trends that characterize the development of the industry.
    The Gambling Digest is released publically, and available for download
    on the official CPRG website.
    Casino Online And Brick & Mortar Establishments in Kahnawake

    Kahnawake is a Mohawk Indian Reservation in Canada.
    Due to the special status granted to Indian lands, many of them legally allowed to host
    gambling, which provided a good supplement to the local budget.

    Kahnawake Gaming Commission, responsible for the
    regulation in this area, was established in 1996, and within as little as 3 years it began to issue licenses for
    this type of business on the Internet. Being the pioneer of gaming industry niche, the jurisdiction has become one of the most well-known among phenomena of the kind.

    The Canadian KGC consists of three organizations assigned by Mohawk
    Council of Kahnawake. They are mandated to deal with all the regulation issues of online gambling, including licensing.
    A system of rules and standards that guides
    the commission is based on the experience of Australian colleagues.
    The basic principles of KGC are aimed at reduced to fair business conduction, transparency,
    data security and timely payouts.

    The Commission has developed the requirements, ensuring high reliability and excluding the possibility of fraud in online
    gambling business. When considering an application the
    agency examines the following aspects:

    the formal grounds for issuing the license
    the reliability and integrity of software
    the capital adequacy for timely payouts

    How Online Roulettes Appeared In Ontario

    With an eye on the successful experience of Quebec, Ontario government raised the question of further legalization of online
    gambling in the province. Taking drastic measures was
    dictated by Toronto budget deficit of CA$24.7 billion.

    Dalton McGuinty, the former Prime Minister of the province, proposed to fill the gap by raising taxes on the sale
    of alcohol. However, armed with a calculator and enlisted with the support of like-minded people, the Prime Minister gave the green light to local online gambling resources.

    The neighboring Quebec earned about CA$50 million annually from online gambling enterprises, Ontario, the
    largest Canadian province, could count on even larger revenue.

    ‘Legalization of gambling sites will benefit the entire province.

    Ontario residents annually spend up to CA$1.9 billion on gambling online, though the funds
    go to other regions and offshore sites’, Paul Godfrey, head of
    the Committee on gambling in Ontario, commented on the situation.

    Jeff Derevensky, the head of the International Centre that strives to limit gambling activities in Canada, indicated the young
    population was not ready for such global changes. However, the head of the center saw no particular obstacles to legalization: he
    offered to introduce a special course in local schools to protect the younger generation from the
    dangers of Internet gambling.

    Best Online Casino Platforms Bring Up The Champions

    The anthem of Canada sounded in Rio All-Suite Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas again and again as the six weeks poker season ended with a triumph
    of Canadian players, who managed to win 10 bracelets.
    In addition, Daniel Negreanu, a resident of Toronto, was
    so good in Australian and US competitions that earned
    the WSOP 2013 ‘Player of the year’ title.

    When in late June Kristen Bicknell from Ontario won the women’s tournament,
    it a new achievement has been recorded: the bracelets have been awarded to ten players from Canada,
    which is a huge progress after three bracelets received in 2012.
    The previous record of the country was six bracelets won in 2010.

    As usual, the majority of players represented at the WSOP were the U.S residents: 57,040 out of a total number
    of 79,471. Thus, 71.8 % of American players was more
    then enough to secure the leadership, as Canadian representation equaled as little as 5.2% (4,118 poker players).
    No surprise that the U.S. won a better part of WSOP bracelet in 2013 (41), almost two-thirds of the total number of awards and is slightly less
    than its percentage of participation. At the same time, ten Canadian bracelets
    represent 16.1% of awards, which is three times higher than the percentage of participation of the country.

    Daniel Negreanu Bonus Casino Rockstar According To GPI Rank

    In his address on Twitter, the Canadian resident, Daniel Negreanu,
    ranked the best poker player of the decade, wished his fans all the best and gave
    a little advice: ‘I hope that you will fulfill your dreams.

    Dream – declare – execute. The formula really works!’

    In the life of 39 -year-old Canadian pro this formula
    really works as clockwork, especially recollecting about his goals for 2013.
    Negreanu planned to enter the tournaments and win at least CA$1.5 million, grab his
    fifth WSOP bracelet in career and a find himself in the Top
    10 race Player of the year Bluff.

    It’s unbelievable, but Negreanu not only achieved
    his goals, but also exceed them dramatically (and yes, he
    managed to be ranked the player of the year by Bluff Magazine).

    The famous player won his bracelet in April, when he triumphed at the WSOP
    Asia-Pacific (APAC) Main Event and earned CA$ 1,087,160. In October, he was able
    also to duplicate the result, winning the competition of a high roller at the WSOP Europe, and get over CA$979,
    955. Along with other payments, during the year
    Negreanu one of the best players of Canadaso far collected winnings of CA$3,208,630 and the amount of his winnings throughout the career increased to CA$19,549,
    209.
    Mobile Casino

    Enhanced capabilities of information technology
    and personal gadgets fueled a breakthrough in the development of e-commerce sector.
    The brand-new opportunities contributed to drastic changes in all spheres of business,
    and gambling is no exception. Naturally the expansion of
    changes into the online segment adjusted the balance of power
    in the global gaming sector and deepened the conflict between ‘conservatives’ and ‘reformers’.

    According to Firebear Studio, a prominent IT company, global e-commerce market in 2014 was estimated at a trillion dollars,
    while its growth rate equaled 19.4% according to the research.

    Another investigation carried out by Goldman Sachs Group Inc.
    indicates that due to the increasing popularity of smartphones and tablets
    the concept of mobile commerce (m-commerce) acquires its relevance.
    According Firebear Studio, last year the number of transactions from mobile devices
    grew up to 18% of all purchases on the web.
    The percentage of operating on mobile devices has increased
    from 38% in 2012 to 53% in 2014.

    This direction couldn’t have left online gambling untouched, which is evidenced by comprehensive researches of the authoritative H2 Gambling
    Capital and iGaming Business. Online market is not consolidated and
    it is being developed still. Until now, there is even no single terminological apparatus: the same phenomenon called
    different companies in different ways. The concept of ‘online gambling’ causes misunderstandings.
    H2 Gambling Capital and iGaming Business, for example, referred
    to as the entire online gaming market segment, First Gaming
    distinguishes it from mobile segment. Others, such as The
    European Lotteries Association and Scientific Games,
    do not refer online lotteries to this notion. Nevertheless,
    the industry is rocketing.

    H2 Gambling Capital and iGaming Business projected the total revenue from online
    gambling winnings (including betting) in 2014 amounted to C$30,6 Bln. According to the study, the
    total income of the global online gaming industry will grow from C$6,6 billion 2003 to C$ 32,5 billion in 2015-m and C$42,8 billion 2018.
    By that time, in terms of profitability Europe will continue
    to lead, although the gap with other continents will be reduced, especially with
    Asia. A doubling of revenues from online gambling in the United States
    is expected.

    Betting will retain its leading position on the Internet,
    but will gradually show a slowdown. In this case, the yield is
    expected to increase the online casino, which by 2018 will also double their
    performance. Such growth will be observed in all sectors, except for online bingo. http://www.nbso.ca/reviews/

    effort was the release of the gambling digest, now published
    annually. The digest includes statistical data on the state of affairs in each Canadian province:
    from overall revenues and quantitative characteristics on gambling businesses to revenue
    distribution and highly specialized data.

    The digest itself represents a nicely crafted document with dozens of tables,
    charts and trends that characterize the development of the industry.
    The Gambling Digest is released publically, and available for download
    on the official CPRG website.
    Casino Online And Brick & Mortar Establishments
    in Kahnawake

    Kahnawake is a Mohawk Indian Reservation in Canada.
    Due to the special status granted to Indian lands, many of them legally allowed to
    host gambling, which provided a good supplement to the local budget.
    Kahnawake Gaming Commission, responsible for the regulation in this area, was established in 1996, and within as little as 3 years it began to issue
    licenses for this type of business on the Internet. Being the pioneer of
    gaming industry niche, the jurisdiction has become one of the most well-known among
    phenomena of the kind.

    The Canadian KGC consists of three organizations assigned by Mohawk Council of Kahnawake.
    They are mandated to deal with all the regulation issues of online gambling,
    including licensing. A system of rules and standards that guides the commission is based on the
    experience of Australian colleagues. The basic principles of KGC
    are aimed at reduced to fair business conduction, transparency, data security and timely payouts.

    The Commission has developed the requirements,
    ensuring high reliability and excluding the possibility of fraud
    in online gambling business. When considering an application the agency examines
    the following aspects:

    the formal grounds for issuing the license
    the reliability and integrity of software
    the capital adequacy for timely payouts

    How Online Roulettes Appeared In Ontario

    With an eye on the successful experience of Quebec, Ontario government raised the question of further legalization of online gambling in the province.
    Taking drastic measures was dictated by Toronto budget deficit
    of CA$24.7 billion.

    Dalton McGuinty, the former Prime Minister of the province, proposed to fill the
    gap by raising taxes on the sale of alcohol. However,
    armed with a calculator and enlisted with the support of like-minded people, the Prime Minister gave the green light to local online gambling resources.

    The neighboring Quebec earned about CA$50 million annually from online gambling enterprises, Ontario, the largest Canadian province, could count on even larger revenue.

    ‘Legalization of gambling sites will benefit the entire province.
    Ontario residents annually spend up to CA$1.9 billion on gambling online, though
    the funds go to other regions and offshore sites’, Paul Godfrey, head of the Committee on gambling in Ontario, commented on the situation.

    Jeff Derevensky, the head of the International Centre that strives to limit gambling activities
    in Canada, indicated the young population was not ready for such global changes.
    However, the head of the center saw no particular obstacles to legalization: he offered to introduce
    a special course in local schools to protect the younger generation from the dangers of Internet gambling.

    Best Online Casino Platforms Bring Up The Champions

    The anthem of Canada sounded in Rio All-Suite Hotel and Casino
    in Las Vegas again and again as the six weeks
    poker season ended with a triumph of Canadian players, who managed to win 10 bracelets.
    In addition, Daniel Negreanu, a resident of Toronto, was so good in Australian and US competitions that earned the WSOP 2013 ‘Player of
    the year’ title.

    When in late June Kristen Bicknell from Ontario won the women’s
    tournament, it a new achievement has been recorded: the bracelets
    have been awarded to ten players from Canada, which is a huge progress after three bracelets received in 2012.
    The previous record of the country was six bracelets
    won in 2010.

    As usual, the majority of players represented at the
    WSOP were the U.S residents: 57,040 out of a total number of 79,471.
    Thus, 71.8 % of American players was more then enough to
    secure the leadership, as Canadian representation equaled as little as
    5.2% (4,118 poker players). No surprise that the U.S.
    won a better part of WSOP bracelet in 2013 (41), almost two-thirds of the total number of awards and is slightly less
    than its percentage of participation. At the same time, ten Canadian bracelets
    represent 16.1% of awards, which is three times higher
    than the percentage of participation of the country.
    Daniel Negreanu Bonus Casino Rockstar According To GPI Rank

    In his address on Twitter, the Canadian resident, Daniel Negreanu,
    ranked the best poker player of the decade, wished his fans all
    the best and gave a little advice: ‘I hope that you will fulfill your dreams.
    Dream – declare – execute. The formula really works!’

    In the life of 39 -year-old Canadian pro this formula really works
    as clockwork, especially recollecting about his goals for 2013.
    Negreanu planned to enter the tournaments and win at least CA$1.5
    million, grab his fifth WSOP bracelet in career and a find himself in the Top 10 race Player of the year Bluff.

    It’s unbelievable, but Negreanu not only achieved his goals, but
    also exceed them dramatically (and yes, he managed to be
    ranked the player of the year by Bluff Magazine).

    The famous player won his bracelet in April, when he triumphed at the WSOP
    Asia-Pacific (APAC) Main Event and earned CA$
    1,087,160. In October, he was able also to duplicate the result, winning the competition of a high roller at the WSOP Europe, and get over CA$979,955.
    Along with other payments, during the year Negreanu one of the best players of Canadaso far collected winnings of
    CA$3,208,630 and the amount of his winnings throughout the career increased to CA$19,549,209.

    Mobile Casino

    Enhanced capabilities of information technology and personal gadgets fueled a breakthrough in the
    development of e-commerce sector. The brand-new opportunities contributed to drastic changes in all spheres
    of business, and gambling is no exception. Naturally the expansion of changes into the online segment adjusted the balance of
    power in the global gaming sector and deepened the
    conflict between ‘conservatives’ and ‘reformers’.

    According to Firebear Studio, a prominent IT company, global
    e-commerce market in 2014 was estimated at a trillion dollars, while its growth rate equaled
    19.4% according to the research.

    Another investigation carried out by Goldman Sachs Group Inc.

    indicates that due to the increasing popularity of smartphones and tablets the concept of mobile commerce
    (m-commerce) acquires its relevance. According Firebear Studio, last year
    the number of transactions from mobile devices grew up to 18%
    of all purchases on the web. The percentage of
    operating on mobile devices has increased from 38% in 2012 to 53% in 2014.

    This direction couldn’t have left online gambling untouched, which
    is evidenced by comprehensive researches of the authoritative H2
    Gambling Capital and iGaming Business. Online market is not consolidated and it is
    being developed still. Until now, there is even no single terminological apparatus:
    the same phenomenon called different companies in different ways.
    The concept of ‘online gambling’ causes misunderstandings.
    H2 Gambling Capital and iGaming Business, for example, referred to as the entire
    online gaming market segment, First Gaming
    distinguishes it from mobile segment. Others, such as The European Lotteries Association and Scientific Games, do not refer online lotteries to this notion. Nevertheless, the industry is rocketing.

    H2 Gambling Capital and iGaming Business projected the total revenue from online gambling winnings (including
    betting) in 2014 amounted to C$30,6 Bln. According to the study,
    the total income of the global online gaming industry will grow from C$6,6 billion 2003 to C$ 32,5 billion in 2015-m
    and C$42,8 billion 2018. By that time, in terms of profitability Europe will continue to lead, although the
    gap with other continents will be reduced, especially with
    Asia. A doubling of revenues from online gambling in the United States is expected.

    Betting will retain its leading position on the Internet, but will gradually show a slowdown. In this case, the yield is expected to increase the
    online casino, which by 2018 will also double their performance.
    Such growth will be observed in all sectors,
    except for online bingo. http://www.nbso.ca/articles/

It weighs about 2/3 as much, and is noticeably smaller in width and height, while being just a hair thicker.

  • At first it felt small in my hand. Very lightweight blade with nice long o-kissake’ But the tsuba is kind of small so, this is a nice katana but somewhat feels wakizashi-ish, which i do like its just not the sword i was expecting so at first I was surprised is all. Fittings are tight blade is very nice. I think the o-kissake(Blade tip)
