The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has announced the release of the results of over 20, 000 candidates who participated in the supplementary Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) conducted in June, 2024.
This was stated by JAMB’s spokesperson, Dr Fabian Benjamin, in a release.
The supplementary examination was conducted for 28,835 candidates, who were unable to be biometrically verified during the main 2024 UTME, he said.
According to Benjamin, the other category of candidates who sat for the examination were those suspected to have engaged in examination malpractices during the main UTME but who were given a second chance to sit the examination.
He said the exercise was marked by heightened security measures put in place by the Board to preclude any instance of examination infractions.
As such, some nefarious characters, who had attempted to impersonate bona fide candidates were apprehended and handed over to law enforcement agencies for further investigation and prosecution, he said.
The statement further stated that the board would continue to ensure that no candidate benefits from infractions through the deployment of state-of-the-art technology before, during and after its examinations.
Quoting him, “Candidates are, therefore, urged in their own interest to refrain from engaging in any form of irregularities during their examinations. They are also enjoined to desist from soliciting score upgrade from fraudsters or engage in the mutilation of their result sheets while trying to generate fake result sheets with higher scores.
“To check their supplementary UTME results, candidates are to send UTMERESULT to either 55019 or 66019 through the same phone number they had used to generate their profile codes at the start of registration.”
