The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has released the results of candidates who participated in the 2024 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME), with 64,624 results under investigation. The Board Registrar, Prof. Is-haq Oloyede, disclosed this at a press briefing in Bwari on Monday. Oloyede said that 1,989,668 candidates registered for the examinations held in 118 towns in 774 Computer Based Test Centres (CBT).
According to the registrar, out of the registered candidates, 1,904,109 sat for the examination, while 80,810 were absent. He explained that 64,624 results were under investigation for various reasons, such as verification (2,896), procedural investigations (4,594), and prima facie established exam misconduct (78). He said other results under investigation were center-based investigations involving 57,056 candidates in 18 centers across the country.
The 18 centers listed for the investigation were 12 in Edo, three in Akwa Ibom, two in Delta, and one in Kwara State. The Board witnessed a near-zero infraction situation in the 2024 UTME except for a few cases, which represent just a tiny fraction of what was reported last year. This is encouraging, and the board is poised to consolidate on the successes recorded,” he said While giving an analysis of the results, Oloyede said 8,401 candidates representing 0.5 percent scored 300 and above; 77,070 candidates representing 4.2 percent scored 250 and above. He further said that 439,974 candidates, representing 24 percent scored 200 and above, and 1,402,490 candidates, representing 76 percent scored below 200.
