The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has announced that it will release the results of 379,000 candidates who participated in the rescheduled Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) on Wednesday.
The makeup exams, which were conducted between Friday and Monday, became necessary after widespread technical and human errors marred the initial UTME.
These issues reportedly affected candidates’ performance—especially those in Lagos and parts of the South-East.
Meanwhile, out of the 1,955,069 candidates who took the original UTME, more than 1.5 million scored below 200 marks out of a possible 400, fueling concern over the fairness and credibility of the exam.
JAMB spokesman Dr. Fabian Benjamin confirmed the re-sit results would be released on Wednesday.
“The results of the candidates who took the rescheduled exam will be released on Wednesday” Benjamin said.
