The Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME), now rescheduled for May 6, will be taken by about 80,000 candidates.
According to a statement made by the head of public affairs and protocol, Fabian Benjamin, the screening of the findings was the cause of the delay. Candidates who were validated at their testing locations but were unable to take the exam, those whose biometrics could not be verified, and those whose data did not match would not receive their results, but rather a notification for rescheduled exams, it was stated.t
According to the statement: “The Board would be releasing the results of candidates who have taken the examination so far today. The results were delayed to ensure that all necessary screenings were concluded, besides ensuring that the mean and standard deviation were reasonably obtained before releasing these results.
He added, “Those who wrote the examination but had challenges, without being aware of such, would not see their results, but would instead see their notification for rescheduled examination. As part of decisions reached at the end of an emergency management meeting on April 30, the Board has fixed May 6 for a retake for candidates who have not written their examination. All candidates under the categories listed above are required to print their slips between May 4 and 5 so they can know the time and venue of their examination.
“Candidates would be grouped in a central location within their respective states to write the examination, hence the need for them to print their notification slips latest by May 4.”
The PRISTINEGIST also learnt that JAMB will Start the releasing of results starting from Tuesday (today).
