JAMB to start releasing UTME results May 2

The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) on Monday, said it would start releasing the result of candidates who sat for the Unified Tertiary Matriculation Board
examination (UTME).

Recall that over 1.6 million candidates sat for UTME last week.

On Monday, the board said after an emergency meeting held on Saturday, it was decided that the result would be released as from Tuesday, May 2, 2023.

“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 beforer eleasing these results.” It said.

It informed candidates who sat for the examination but had challenges, but not aware of the challenges, that they would see notification of rescheduled examination instead of results.

It said three categories of candidates who missed their examination had been rescheduled for mop-up examinations, adding that all candidates, who could not sit the 2023 UTME within their scheduled time owing to no fault of theirs, would be rescheduled to take the examination on Saturday, 6th May, 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.
