JAMB to Release Rescheduled UTME Results Today – Full Breakdown
The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) is set to release the results of the rescheduled UTME today, Wednesday. This comes after a make-up exam was conducted last weekend to address issues faced during the initial test. Here’s everything you need to know about the JAMB retake, why it happened, and what’s next for affected candidates.
Why Was There a Rescheduled UTME?
Over 1.9 million students took the original 2024 UTME, but the results sparked widespread concern. Shockingly, more than 1.5 million candidates scored below 200 out of 400, leading to public outcry. Many students, parents, and educators demanded answers, prompting JAMB to investigate.
Upon review, JAMB identified technical and human errors that impacted scores, particularly in Lagos and several Southeastern states. The board acknowledged these mistakes and took responsibility.
JAMB’s Apology and Decision to Conduct a Retake
Last week, JAMB Registrar Professor Ishaq Oloyede publicly apologized for the irregularities. In an emotional address, he assured affected candidates that they would be given a second chance through a rescheduled UTME. The make-up exam took place from Friday to Monday, with results set to be released today.
