The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has officially released the 2025 UTME resit results, addressing technical issues and cases of exam misconduct. Affected candidates can now check their scores, while those absent will have another opportunity in the upcoming mop-up exam.
Key Decisions and Actions Taken by JAMB
1. Results Review and Release
- A sub-committee led by Prof. Olufemi Peters (NOUN) carefully reviewed the results.
- Prof. Boniface Nworgu conducted a psychometric analysis to ensure accuracy before release.
2. Special Cases: Under-aged and Cheating Candidates
- Under-aged candidates who previously scored below standard had their results released but remain ineligible for admission.
- Candidates involved in WhatsApp cheating groups received their results as a final warning, but JAMB emphasized that this does not condone malpractice.
3. Absentee Candidates & Mop-up Exam
- Those who missed the resit exam will get another chance in the 2025 JAMB mop-up exam.
4. Crackdown on Malpractice in CBT Centres
- Banned CBT centres: JAMB has blacklisted centres involved in fraud, with possible legal action against owners.
- Staff manipulation: Some staff altered candidate details—investigations are ongoing.
5. Tutorial Centres Under Scrutiny
- JAMB urged government regulation of tutorial centres to curb fraudulent practices.
JAMB’s Commitment to Fair CBT Exams
Despite challenges, Computer-Based Testing (CBT) remains the most secure exam method. JAMB plans to improve accreditation processes for CBT centres with expert consultations.
Warning Against Misinformation
- Some candidates falsely claimed high scores—investigations exposed these lies.
- Withdrawn results: Candidates involved in fraud are being notified via SMS, email, and JAMB profiles.
How to Check 2025 UTME Resit Results
- Use the official JAMB SMS shortcode (55019/66019)—JAMB clarified it does not profit from this service.
Serious Malpractice Cases Uncovered
- AI-assisted impersonation (blending photos/fingerprints).
- Hacked CBT networks and “mercenary” exam takers.
- Over 3,000 candidates risk losing their results due to ongoing investigations.
Appreciation & Assurance
JAMB thanked security agencies, WAEC, NECO, and TRCN for their support, reaffirming its commitment to exam integrity.
