The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) on Monday, announced it would start releasing the result of candidates who sat for the Unified Tertiary Matriculation Board Examination (UTME).
The board said, after an emergency meeting held on Saturday, it was decided that the result would be released as from Tuesday, May 2, 2023.
“The board would be releasing the results of candidates, who have taken the examination so far on Tuesday, May 2, 2023. The board had delayed the release to ensure that all necessary screenings are concluded besides ensuring that the mean and standard deviation are reasonably obtained before releasing these results.
The board also stated that “out of the 1,586,765 candidates that indicated an interest in sitting for the examination, only 80,166 are now outstanding.”
“As candidates check their results on Tuesday, May 2, 2023, those who sat for the examination but had challenges without being aware of such, would not see their results but would instead see their notification for rescheduled examination.”
“All candidates, who could not sit the 2023 UTME within their scheduled time owing to no fault of theirs, would be rescheduled to take the examination on Saturday, May 6, 2023.
Similarly, the examination body also noted that three categories of candidates who missed their examinations had been rescheduled for mop-up examinations.
“Candidates under these categories are principally those who were verified at their centres but could not sit the examination; those who could not be biometrically verified, and those with mismatched data,” the board stated.
