The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has been taken to court over the unusually low UTME scores recorded by several candidates who believe their results do not reflect their true performance.
This development was shared in a post on the popular social media platform X (formerly Twitter).
A user identified as @winexviv called on candidates who suspect their UTME results were either tampered with or sent in error to fill out a form that would enable legal action.
The goal is to compel the court to mandate JAMB to release the marking scheme and scoring details used in the examination.
This move follows widespread outrage online after JAMB released the 2024 UTME results, with reports indicating that over half a million candidates scored below 200 out of 400.
Many candidates took to social media to voice their frustrations, insisting that the scores they received were not reflective of their efforts or mock exam performances. Some even suggested the results may have been altered.
In response to the ongoing complaints, @winexviv urged affected candidates to support the legal process, stating:
“If you are a student concerned that your JAMB score is significantly lower than expected, and you are confident there’s an error, please fill this form.”
The post quickly gained traction, attracting reactions from concerned individuals who flooded the comment section to share their experiences and opinions.
