The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has announced it will release the results of 379,000 candidates who sat for the rescheduled Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) on Wednesday.
The resit was conducted between Friday and Monday following widespread complaints of technical and human errors during the initial UTME, which significantly impacted candidates’ performance, especially in Lagos and the South-East.
JAMB said the glitches necessitated rescheduling the exam, acknowledging lapses in its system.
Recall that out of the 1.9 million candidates who took the original UTME, more than 1.5 million scored below 200 marks out of a possible 400, fuelling concern over the fairness and credibility of the exam.
Speaking to journalists, JAMB spokesperson Dr Fabian Benjamin confirmed the resit results would be released on Wednesday.
