The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has
announced that the results of candidates who have sat for the 2023 Unified
Tertiary Matriculation Examination, UTME, will be released on Tuesday, May 2,
2023.
Fabian Benjamin, the Head of Protocol and Public Affairs, JAMB,
in a statement issued on Monday, urged candidates to check their results.
He, however, explained that those who sat the examination but
had challenges without being aware of such, would not see their results but
instead see their notification for rescheduled examination.
The statement reads: “JAMB would be releasing the results of
candidates, who have taken the examination so far on Tuesday, 2nd May, 2023.
“The Board had delayed the release to ensure that all necessary
screening are concluded besides ensuring that the mean and standard deviation
are reasonably obtained before releasing these results.
“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.
“Consequently, all candidates who sat the examination are urged
to check their results on or before Thursday, 8th May 2023.”
“As part of the decisions reached
at the end of an emergency management meeting held on Sunday, 30th 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.
“These are candidates, who were registered for the 2023 UTME
without manifesting any biometric difficulty but who could not be verified on
the day of the examination.
“All candidates, who were scheduled to sit the 2023 UTME at the
Beautiful Beginning CBT Centre, Apo, Abuja, but missed the examination for
whatever reason has been rescheduled to take the examination on Saturday, 6th
May 2023.
“The rescheduling of all the candidates, who missed the
examination is a result of the mistake made in the address of the centre, which
had led to some candidates missing their examination.
“As a responsible organisation, the Board would not abdicate its
responsibilities and has consequently, rescheduled all candidates posted to the
centre, who could not sit their examination on account of the wrong address or
any other reason, to ensure that no candidate misses the examination."
JAMB said other candidates that will retake the examination
include candidates who rescheduled to take the examination on Thursday, 27th
April, 2023, but who could not receive the notification, candidates in centres
with reduced capacity and candidates with data mismatch.
