The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board has announced that Wednesday is the day of release of the results of 379,000 candidates who took part in the rescheduled Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination between Friday and Monday.
JAMB rescheduled the exam due to the widespread outcry over mass failure during the initial UTME.
The board acknowledged the presence technical and human errors, mostly in Lagos and South-East states, which significantly affected candidates’ performance.
Following sustained pressure, JAMB investigated the mass failure and found technical and human errors in its system..
JAMB Registrar, Prof. Ishaq Oloyede, last week publicly accepted responsibility for the errors, even shedding tears while announcing a resit for the affected candidates.
JAMB’s spokesperson, Dr Fabian Benjamin has therefore confirmed that the results of the rescheduled exams would be released on Wednesday.
Oloyede had earlier disclosed that 379,997 candidates in Lagos and the five states of the South-East were impacted by the UTME glitches.
