The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB), has said the results of candidates who have sat for the 2023 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) would be released tomorrow, Tuesday.
The Board in a statement signed by its Head Public Affairs and Protocol on Monday in Abuja, however asked candidates who may not see their results not to panic, as they could have been rescheduled to retake the examination as a result of certain challenges they may not have been aware of
He said: “The Board 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.”
The Board further disclosed that candidates, who could not sit the 2023 UTME within their scheduled time owing to no fault of theirs, would be rescheduled to take the examination on Saturday, 6th May, 2023.
These category of candidates includes those who were verified at their centres but could not sit for the examination, those who could not be biometrically verified, and those with mismatched data, candidates, who had been rescheduled to retake their examination on Thursday, 27th April, 2023, but received their notification late on Thursday night, candidates in centres with reduced capacity
Also, “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 have been rescheduled to take the examination on Saturday, 6th May, 2023.
The rescheduling of all the candidates, who missed the examination is as a result of the mistake made in the address of the centre, which had led to some candidates missing their examination.
“It should be noted that the name of the centre which is Beautiful Beginning CBT Centre, Apo, Abuja, featured “Gwagwalada” rather than “Apo” hence misleading the candidates.
“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 added that, “All candidates under the categories listed above are required to print their slips on or before Thursday, 4th-5th May, 2023, so as to know the time and venue of their examination.
“Candidates are to note that they would be grouped in a central location within their respective States to sit the examination hence the need for them to print their notification slips latest by Thursday, 4th May, 2023, so as to make sufficient arrangements to sit the examination.”
