The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board has announced the release of 3,921 outstanding 2024 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination results, adding that 24,535 candidates would retake the examination rescheduled for June 22.

This was contained in a statement by its spokesperson, Fabian Benjamin on Monday.

He said the rescheduled examination for 24,535 candidates was decided after it analysed the process and conduct of the previous examination in some centres where there were proofs of substantial non-compliance with its standards.

According to the statement, “The rescheduled candidates are to print their supplementary Examination Notification Slip from Tuesday, 4th June 2024, to ascertain their designated examination centres.

“This release brings the total results released to 1,883,350. The rescheduled examination, which is taking place on Saturday, 22nd June 2024, two weeks from now, is to give affected candidates adequate time to prepare for the exercise,” the statement noted.

It asked concerned candidates to check their results by sending RESULT to 55019 or 66019, to ascertain their status.

It further added that those cleared would have their results, while those rescheduled would be told that they had been rescheduled.

“These candidates are, therefore, to register at any of the approved CBT centres in Kwara, Oyo and Osun states within the next week (ending on Monday, 10th June 2024) for the UTME.

“The 469 others among this category of UTME candidates who had already taken the 2024 UTME need not retake the examination. The one they have already taken suffices.”

The concession, according to the board, was to ensure that while it maintained standards, efforts were also in place to support and promote the aspirations of qualified and willing candidates.

JAMB added, “The remaining 322 candidates have been migrated to the category of candidates under examination misconduct as a prima-facie case has been established that those who had registered were not those who appeared for the examination.

“This notice does not concern candidates whose results have been released. Candidates with prima facie case(s) of examination misconduct would be further interrogated to establish their culpability after which appropriate measures would be taken on them and announced.”

Benjamin, in the statement, listed centres in affected states as follows, Lagos State, JAMB PRC, Ojora Road, Ikoyi Lagos; JAMB PRC, Isheri Road, Ogba, ETC Nig. JKK House, Ikorodu Road, Ilupeju.

Oyo State: JAMB PTC, JAMB Zonal Office, Agodi G.R.A, Ibadan; FCE Special, CBT Centre, Oyo and JAMB PTC, Igboho.
For Kwara State: JAMB PTC, National Headquarters Annex, Old Jebba Road, Ilorin, and University of Ilorin CBT Centre, Mini Campus.

Osun State has JAMB PTC, Alekuwodo; OSPDC, Oroki Estate, Ilobu Road, Osogbo, and JAMB PTC, Gbongon.

The board urged all eligible candidates to take advantage of the opportunity to register, stressing that, no further extension would be observed
