Candidates who sat the rescheduled 2025 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) can now check their results.
The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) disclosed this in a statement by its spokesperson, Fabian Benjamin.
JAMB had rescheduled the UTME for over 300,000 candidates whose results were affected by a glitch that affected 157 centres in Lagos State and the South-east.
“Of the 336,845 who were eventually scheduled after isolated good sessions of the affected centres were excluded and their previously unverified candidates were added, 21,082 were absent,” the board said.
The board said candidates who missed either the main or rescheduled UTME would have the opportunity to have a resit as the board is prepared to conduct a resit examination for them.
JAMB said 71,701 candidates missed the initial UTME, while 21,082 candidates were absent during the rescheduled UTME. Combined, a total of 92,783 candidates are eligible for the resit.
JAMB expressed regret over the glitch that resulted in the rescheduling of the UTME.
The board said the review after the glitch has also revealed numerous ‘alarming’ practices perpetrated by candidates and certain proprietors of schools and Computer-Based Test (CBT) centres, which have exacerbated examination irregularities.
