The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) is expected to
release the second batch of the results for the 2018 Unified Tertiary
Matriculation Examination (UTME), on Tuesday, March 20.
JAMB’s Head of Information, Dr. Fabian Benjamin, confirmed that the
Board held a crucial meeting, on Monday, over the results and that some
results were to be released after the meeting or today.
Benjamin also disclosed that no other results had been released after the first batch of over 300,000 results.
“The Board is working diligently to ensure that the results are
processed and posted on the board’s website soonest. The Board was
delaying some of the results because each has to undergo total scrutiny
before being posted on its website to avoid cancellations later.
“Modalities were being put in place to ensure all the results
are transparent and accurate. Tuesday’s result will be the second batch
of the recently concluded UTME, which a total of 1,662,762 candidates
registered for,” Benjamin said.
He added that it had cancelled UTME results of Computer-based test centres where CCTV cameras showed malpractices.
There had been tension and panic among candidates, as they have not
been able to access their results over one week since they wrote the
exams.
The 2018 UTME, which started on Friday, March 9, 2018, was written by over 1.6 million candidates.
The exam ended on Saturday, March 17, 2018.
