The results of the rescheduled 2025 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) have been released by the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB).
In a statement released on Sunday, the examination body disclosed that “only a handful scored up to 217 in the affected sessions, while 99 per cent scored below 200 marks — indicating that there were no high scorers in the cancelled sessions of the affected six states.”
JAMB explained that it made this clarification because “the misleading questions posed by certain individuals regarding candidates who allegedly scored highly in the cancelled sessions who might desire to retain their previous results are totally unfounded.”
Recall that the agency rescheduled the examination in Lagos, Abia, Imo, Enugu, Ebonyi, and Anambra States due to technical glitches.
“It is not unexpected that given our circumstances, some opportunistic and mischievous individuals may attempt to exploit the situation for personal gain, thereby attempting to discredit not only the CBT process but also the Board itself,” JAMB stated.
It declared that, “All results are now released except those of candidates who committed examination infractions and those slated for mop-up examinations.”
“While releasing the results, it should be emphasised that recent discoveries particularly by the security agencies have necessitated the withdrawal of some of the results of implicated candidates across the country whose results have been previously released.
“Candidates with earlier released results need not recheck their results as candidates affected by the withdrawal are being notified through text messages on their registered lines, their profiles and emails,” it said.
