The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has released an additional 3,921 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) results, which were earlier withheld for further investigation.
JAMB’s spokesman, Dr Fabian Benjamin, who disclosed this in a press statement yesterday, said 24,535 candidates have also been rescheduled to retake the examination in their chosen Examination Towns on Saturday, June 22, 2024.
This is just as the Board announced the extension period for the 2024 Direct Entry (DE) registration, which will close on Monday, June 17,2024.
The statement said, “The Board has painstakingly analyzed the process and conduct of the 2024 UTME in some centres where there are strong proofs of substantial non-compliance with the Board’s standards. Consequently, 24,535 candidates have been rescheduled to retake the examination in their chosen Examination Towns on Saturday, June 22, 2024.
“Meanwhile, 3,921 outstanding 2024 UTME results that had been cleared have now been released. Therefore, concerned candidates are urged to check their results from Saturday,1st June 2024, by sending RESULT to 55019 or 66019 to ascertain their status, as those cleared would have their results while those rescheduled would be told that they had been rescheduled.
“The rescheduled candidates will print their supplementary Examination Notification Slip from Tuesday, June 4, 2024, to ascertain their designated examination centers.
“This release brings the total results released to 1,883,350.
The rescheduled examination, which will take place on Saturday, June 22, 2024, two weeks from now, is to give affected candidates adequate time to prepare for the exercise. This notice does not concern candidates whose results have been released.
“Candidates with prima facie case(s) of examination misconduct would be further interrogated to establish their culpability, after which appropriate measures would be taken on them and announced,” the statement said.
