JAMB Reschedules UTME for 24,000 Candidates, Releases Additional Results

 

The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has announced the rescheduling of the 2024 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) for 24,535 candidates. This decision comes in response to significant non-compliance with JAMB's standards at the examination centers of the affected candidates.

 

Affected candidates are instructed to print their supplementary Examination Notification Slips from Tuesday, June 4, 2024, to find out their new designated examination centers.

 

In a statement released on Sunday, JAMB spokesman Dr. Fabian Benjamin also announced that 3,921 previously withheld results have been released. The statement reads:

 

"The Board has meticulously analyzed the conduct of the 2024 UTME in several centers where there is substantial evidence of non-compliance with the Board's standards. Consequently, 24,535 candidates have been rescheduled to retake the examination in their chosen towns on Saturday, June 22, 2024."

 

Additionally, Dr. Benjamin stated, "Candidates can check their results from Saturday, June 1, 2024, by sending 'RESULT' to 55019 or 66019. Those whose results have been cleared will receive their results, while those rescheduled will be notified accordingly."

 

With this latest update, the total number of released results now stands at 1,883,350. The rescheduled examination on Saturday, June 22, 2024, aims to give affected candidates sufficient time to prepare for the test.
