The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has announced plans to release the results of 379,000 candidates who participated in the rescheduled Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) between Friday and Monday. The results will be made public on Wednesday.
The rescheduling followed widespread concerns over the high rate of failure recorded in the initial UTME. JAMB acknowledged that both technical and human errors—particularly in Lagos and South-East states—had negatively impacted candidates’ performances.
This year’s UTME saw over 1.9 million candidates sit the examination, with more than 1.5 million scoring below 200 out of a possible 400 marks, raising alarm among education stakeholders.
