JAMB WILL BEGIN RELEASING UTME RESULTS ON MAY 2

The Joint Admissions and Admissions Committee announced on Monday that it would begin disclosing the results of candidates who took the Unified Tertiary Matriculation Board.

According to reports, nearly 1.6 million candidates took the UTME last week.

It told candidates who sat for the exam but had issues but were unaware of them that they would receive notification of a rescheduled examination instead of results.

"The Board would be releasing the results of candidates, who have taken the examination so far on Tuesday, 2nd May, 2023. The Board had delayed the release to ensure that all necessary screening are concluded besides ensuring that the mean and standard deviation are reasonably obtained before releasing these results." It said.

The board said on Monday that during an emergency meeting on Saturday, it was determined that the results would be released on Tuesday, May 2, 2023.

It stated that three categories of candidates who missed their examinations had been rescheduled for mop-up examinations, and that all candidates who were unable to sit the 2023 UTME within their scheduled time due to no fault of their own would be rescheduled to sit the examination on Saturday, May 6, 2023.

"These are candidates who were verified at their centres but could not sit the examination; those who could not be biometrically verified, and those with mismatched data," he said.
