JAMB Ready To Release 2025 UTME Resit Results For 379,000 Candidates; See Date
The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board, JAMB, says it is set to release the results of 379,000 candidates who sat for the rescheduled Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination, UTME, on Wednesday.
Following a widespread complaints due to technical and human errors during the initial UTME, the resit exam was conducted between Friday and Monday.
The Board stated that the glitches necessitated rescheduling the exam, acknowledging lapses in its system.
Recall that last week, the JAMB’s Registrar, Prof. Ishaq Oloyede, publicly accepted responsibility and even broke down in tears while announcing a makeup exam for the affected candidates.
Initially, more than 1.5 million of 1.9 million candidates scored below 200 marks out of a possible 400 in the main UTME
This has, however, provoked Nigerian’s concern over the fairness and credibility of the exam.
The Board’s spokesman, Fabian Benjamin, while speaking to newsmen on Monday, confirmed the resit results would be released on Wednesday.
He said, “The results of the candidates who took the rescheduled exam will be released on Wednesday,”.
The registrar previously disclosed that 379,997 candidates were affected—206,610 across 65 centres in Lagos and 173,387 in 92 centres in the South-East.
