The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board, JAMB, has released 279 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination, UTME, results that were earlier withheld for investigation over suspected examination malpractice.
JAMB’s Public Communication Advisor, Dr. Fabian Benjamin, in a statement on Thursday, said the newly released results were in addition to those previously made public by the examination body.
According to Benjamin, the release followed ongoing investigations into cases of suspected malpractice during the conduct of the examination.
He explained that while some results had been cancelled after evidence of malpractice was established, others were cleared and released after the Board found no prima facie case against the affected candidates.
He added that results from centres where JAMB’s live monitoring teams detected suspicious activities, or where adverse reports were received, would remain withheld pending the conclusion of investigations.
The spokesman noted that where sufficient evidence of culpability is eventually established, such results would be cancelled in line with the Board’s examination regulations.
JAMB advised candidates whose results are yet to be released to check their status by sending “UTMERESULT” to either 55019 or 66019 using the same phone number used during registration.
The Board reiterated its commitment to maintaining the integrity and credibility of the UTME examination process through strict monitoring and enforcement measures.
