The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has rescheduled the 2024 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) for 24,535 candidates.
The decision follows substantial non-compliance with JAMB’s standards in the centres of the affected candidates.
In an official statement released on Sunday, JAMB’s spokesperson, Dr. Fabian Benjamin, announced that the candidates will retake the examination on Saturday, June 22, 2024.
Dr. Benjamin emphasised that the Board conducted a thorough analysis of the 2024 UTME process and found significant deviations from its standards in certain centres.
Affected candidates are advised to print their supplementary Examination Notification Slips from Tuesday, June 4, 2024, to confirm their designated examination centres.
Additionally, JAMB has released 3,921 previously withheld results. “The Board has painstakingly analyzed the process and conduct of the 2024 UTME in some centres where there are strong proofs of substantial non-compliance with the Board’s standards,” the statement reads.
It further states, “Consequently, 24,535 candidates have been rescheduled to retake the examination in their chosen Examination Towns on Saturday, June 22, 2024. Meanwhile, 3,921 outstanding 2024 UTME results that had been cleared have now been released.”
Concerned 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 scores, while those rescheduled will be informed of the new examination date.
With this release, the total number of results issued reaches 1,883,350. The rescheduled examination on June 22, 2024, allows affected candidates two weeks to prepare for the test.
