The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board has announced that it will on Wednesday release the results of 379,000 candidates who sat the rescheduled Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination between Friday and Monday.
Speaking to newsmen, JAMB’s spokesperson, Dr Fabian Benjamin, confirmed that the results of the rescheduled exams would be released on Wednesday.
Oloyede had earlier disclosed that candidates in Lagos and the five states of the South-East were impacted by the UTME glitches.
According to him, 206,610 candidates in 65 centres across Lagos and 173,387 in 92 centres in the South-East zone were affected. JAMB rescheduled the exam following widespread outcry over mass failure during the initial UTME.
The board admitted to technical and human errors, especially in Lagos and South-East states, which significantly affected candidates’ performance.
Out of the 1.9 million candidates who sat this year’s UTME, over 1.5 million scored below 200 marks out of a possible 400, prompting widespread concern among stakeholders.
Following sustained pressure, JAMB investigated the mass failure and discovered technical and human errors in its system.
