The dissenters requested the cancelation of the exams and the evacuation of the Registrar of the Joint Admissions Matriculation Board, Prof. Dibu Ojerinde.
The dissenters, who blamed the behavior of the examination, depicted the activity as a "major sham."
The examination, directed by JAMB, they claimed, was full of abnormalities.
The examination, which began on February 27, will end on March 19.
While a percentage of the hopefuls charged that the board purposely brought down their scores, some guaranteed that it discretionarily honored imprints to numerous applicants.
The nonconformists, drove by a gathering under the aegis of Concerned Parents and Education Stakeholders, showed bulletins with engravings, for example, 'All we are stating give us our imprint', 'Dibu must go; the main hindrance in instruction advance', 'The Joint Admission and Manipulation Board, give us our genuine results', and 'The teacher of test and administration has outlasted his convenience', among others.
The dissenters, who possessed the entryway of the Lagos State House of Assembly complex for a long time, said JAMB and its recorder had "lost spotlight on the best way to direct a fruitful Computer-Based Test in the 21st century.
A hopeful, Maryam Animashaun, who communicated frustration with the behavior of the examination, guaranteed that she got three unique results from JAMB.
Animashaun, who sat for the examination at the College of Education, Oro, Kwara State, said, "I am befuddled. I don't comprehend what to do now. The main ready I got on the phone from the board with respect to the examination demonstrated that I scored 218. The second ready read 186, while the third one read 286.
"The shocking thing now is that I can't print any of the outcomes. On the site, the board guaranteed that I didn't sit for the examination. In the mean time, I sat for English, Government, Economics and Literature-in-English."
Another competitor, Kalasuwe Adeola, who guaranteed she scored 220, said she got the same score in 2015.
She said, "I am certain JAMB did not check the current year's UTME. On the off chance that it did, why did they issue me the same result I got a year ago? In my printed result during the current year, it was composed 2015/2016 rather than 2016/2017. I sat during the current year's examination at the Bachel Model College, Lagos, on March 9. Not at all like different competitors, I didn't have any issue with my framework amid the examination."
The National President of the Association of Tutorial Schools in Nigeria, Mr. Shodunke Olutodotun, deplored that more than 10,000 applicants missed the UTME, while others had their imprints deducted because of inconsistencies by JAMB.
"The current year's UTME will soon be finished up. We have a man called Prof. Dibu Ojerinde. This man has outlasted his handiness in JAMB. He is by all accounts more capable than the nation's leader.
"The nonconformists are the casualties; their fates are being done by Dibu. The majority of the dissidents that had their exam in Delta State had the exam in a place of worship. A great deal of them got results before they sat for the exam.
"We are engaging Governor Akinwunmi Ambode and the Speaker, Mudashiru Obasa, to send sign to Abuja to stop UTME. In the event that they don't do that, we will go to Abuja.
"By what method will somebody sit for Physics, Chemistry, Biology and the following thing he sees are Economics, Commerce and Government?"
Depicting the exam as a fake, a guardian, Mr. Bunmi Elujula, encouraged the Minister of Education, Mallam Adamu, to investigate the grumblings of the competitors direly.
Aside from honoring self-assertive scores to competitors, Elujula said numerous applicants had issues with their frameworks.
He said, "Numerous hopefuls were assigned somewhere around 40 and 60 extra checks. What are the criteria for this discretion? The abnormal thing is that JAMB began the CBT two years prior, why would that be year's exam a major failure? I have not seen applicants and folks gripe thusly about the exam before. I beg the powers to investigate their grievances."
Be that as it may, JAMB depicted the coordinators of the dissent as "blackmailers".
In an announcement by its Head of Public Relations, Dr Fabian Benajmin, the board said a few proprietors, whose examination focuses did not get accreditation for the test, were behind the dissent.
The announcement read to some extent, "The board had affirmed focuses given by these people to be utilized for the 2016 activity. Tragically, it couldn't endorse those focuses ailing in all the records required for an effective CBT.
"These same proprietors pivoted to sort out possibility to challenge against our exercises. We are not impeccable as an association, but rather we are striving to guarantee that Nigerian training is superior to anything it is. We have gone for broke to do the inconceivable in order to change the worldview.
"We will keep on approaching Nigerians to give us the advantages of uncertainty and with their aggregate bolster; we will give them one of the best CBT internationally. It is no news that the most exceedingly terrible CBT is much better than the best Paper and Pencil Test. At any rate, the period of competitors pouring corrosive on JAMB authorities, rushing with inquiry papers into the shrub and all unbelievable humiliating acts are no more."
