The results of 379,000 candidates who took the rescheduled Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) between Friday and Monday will be made public by the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board on Wednesday.
After significant complains over the massive failure during the first UTME, JAMB rescheduled the test. The board acknowledged that human and technical mistakes, particularly in South-East states and Lagos, had a major impact on the performance of the applicants.
More over 1.5 million of the 1.9 million applicants who took this year’s UTME received scores below 200 out of 400, which alarmed several stakeholders.
After constant pressure, JAMB looked into the widespread failure and found both human and technical mistakes in its system.
Recall that Prof. Ishaq Oloyede, the JAMB Registrar, publicly acknowledged his mistakes and even broke down in tears when he announced that the impacted candidates will be given another chance to take the test.
Dr. Fabian Benjamin, the spokesperson for JAMB, told news men on Monday that the results of the rescheduled tests would be made public on Wednesday.

He said that 173,387 candidates in 92 centres in the South-East zone and 206,610 applicants in 65 centres around Lagos were impacted.
