Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board, JAMB, has released additional 3,921 withheld results of the 2024 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination, UTME.
A statement signed by its spokesman, Dr Fabian Benjamin, yesterday, also stated that 24,535 candidates who sat for UTME have been rescheduled to retake the examination.
The board said the decision was prompted by substantial non-compliance with the Board’s standards in the affected candidates examination centres.
The statement reads in part: “The Board has painstakingly analysed the process and conduct of the 2024 UTME in some centres where there are strong proof of substantial non-compliance with its standards.
”Consequently, 24,535 candidates have been rescheduled to retake the examination in their chosen examination towns on Saturday, June 22.
“Meanwhile, 3,921 outstanding results that had been cleared have been released.
”Therefore, concerned candidates are urged to check their results from Saturday, June 1 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 are to print their supplementary examination notification slip from Tuesday, June 4 to ascertain their designated examination centres.
”This brings the total results released to 1,883,350. The rescheduled examination, which will take place on Saturday, June 22, two weeks from now, is to give the 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.”
