The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board(JAMB) on Monday said it would commence the release of results of the Unified Tertiary Matriculation Board on Tuesday, May 2, 2023.
This was contained in the minutes of the meeting held at the end of an emergency management meeting held over the weekend in Abuja.
"On Tuesday, May 2, 2023, the Board will announce the results of the candidates who have already taken the examination. The Board had postponed the publication in order to guarantee that all required screening had been completed and that the mean and standard deviation had been determined in a reasonable manner.
“As candidates check their results on Tuesday, 2nd May, 2023, those who sat the examination but had challenges without being aware of such, would not see their results but would instead see their notification for rescheduled examination,” it said.
Similarly, the examination authority observed that three groups of students who skipped their exams had their exams rescheduled for mop-ups.
"All candidates who were unable to sit the 2023 UTME within the allotted time due to no fault of their own will be rescheduled to take the examination on Saturday, May 6, 2023."
“Candidates under these categories are principally those who were verified at their centres but could not sit the examination; those who could not be biometrically verified, and those with mismatched data,”
It was previously reported that JAMB had delayed the 2023 UTME from Tuesday, April 25, 2023 to Tuesday, May 2, 2023.
The board had notified Nigerians that it will undertake the exercise using various fresh and innovative ways in order to entirely eliminate examination violations.
"This has been achieved to a large extent because the exercise recorded the fewest reported cases of infractions, but with equally emerging challenges due to human negligence, which resulted in some candidates being unable to sit the examination on the first day." Despite this, only 80,166 of the 1,586,765 candidates who expressed an interest in taking the exam are still waiting.
“On the first day of the 2023 UTME, a number of candidates in some centres could not sit the examination as well as in some centres in subsequent days due to diverse reasons. Though a reasonable number of them have been rescheduled and have taken the examination, some are yet to take their examination.
“As part of the decisions reached at the end of an emergency management meeting held on Sunday, 31st April 2023, the Board has fixed Saturday, 6th May 2023, for all categories of candidates who have not sat their examination, as listed below, to take their examination,” the board said.
