The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board, JAMB, has released the results of 379,000 candidates who sat for the rescheduled Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination [UTME].
We reported that the resit was conducted between Friday and Monday after widespread complaints of technical and human errors during the initial UTME, which significantly impacted candidates’ performance, especially in Lagos and the South-East.
The Board stated that the glitches necessitated rescheduling the exam, acknowledging lapses in its system.
