On Monday, the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) announced that it is reviewing the recently released Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) results.
In a statement by its spokesperson, Fabian Benjamin, the board said it is fast forwarding its annual system review, a comprehensive post-mortem of the examination process, as a result of the ‘significant volume of unusual complaints’ that followed the release of the 2025 UTME results on Friday.
“If it is determined that there were indeed glitches, we will implement appropriate remedial measures promptly, as we do in the case of the examinations themselves,” the board said
The board said it is particularly concerned about the unusual complaints from a few states within the federation.
It explained that during the examination, JAMB ensures that every candidate is afforded the opportunity to sit the test, and should any technical issues arise, the board reschedules the examination for affected candidates.
JAMB said experts have been engaged to assist in the review.
The experts are: “Members from the Computer Professionals Association of Nigeria, Chief External Examiners, who are heads of tertiary institutions, the Educational Association and Research Network in Africa, measurement experts, and Vice Chancellors from various institutions.”
