The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has stated that the results of the rescheduled 2025 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME), which took place between Friday and Monday, would be released on Wednesday, May 21.
JAMB rescheduled the exam in response to considerable outrage about overwhelming failure during the initial UTME following what it called technical glitches.
The board admited to technological and human failures, particularly in Lagos and the South-East states, which substantially affected applicants’ performance.
Out of the 1.9 million applicants who took this year’s UTME, more than 1.5 million received less than 200 out of a potential 400, raising considerable alarm among stakeholders.
Following sustained pressure, JAMB investigated the mass failure and discovered technical and human errors in its system.
JAMB Registrar, Prof. Ishaq Oloyede, last week, had publicly accepted responsibility for the errors, even shedding tears while announcing a resit for the affected candidates.
Speaking with journalists, JAMB spokesperson Dr. Fabian Benjamin, confirmed that the results of the rescheduled tests would be revealed on Wednesday.
“The results of the candidates who took the rescheduled exam will be released on Wednesday,” Dr. Benjamin stated.
