The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board has concluded plans to release the results of the 2024 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination.
JAMB Registrar, Prof. Ishaq Oloyede, is scheduled to hold a press briefing in Abuja today, Monday, regarding the release of the results and related matters, as indicated in a notice circulated to journalists in the capital city.
The notice was made available by the Board’s Head of Public Relations, Fabian Benjamin, on Sunday.
However, there are indications that results that would be released on Monday are for the candidates that participated in the UTME in the first few days, while others would be released after “due diligence” is completed.
The board earlier clarified that the decision to delay the release of the results for a few days was made to allow ample time for thorough scrutiny.
This measure, according to the examination body, was taken to guarantee the credibility and integrity of the results, ensuring there are no doubts or uncertainties, especially concerning issues such as impersonation, mixed biometrics, and other forms of malpractices.
In the past week, more than 1.9 million candidates enrolled for the 2024 UTME across over 700 Computer-Based Test centers nationwide.
The 2024 examination, which commenced on Friday, April 19, 2024, is expected to be concluded today.
