BREAKING: JAMB reschedules UTME Exam for over 24,000 candidates, releases more results

The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has stated that the 2024 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) will be held at a different time for a total of 24,535 participants.

Officials from JAMB had to reset the UTME because a lot of candidates’ centers did not follow its rules.

The board also told those who were affected to print out their supplementary examination notification slips starting Tuesday, June 4, 2024, so they could find out where they were supposed to take the test.

Dr. Fabian Benjamin, JAMB’s director, said in a statement made on Sunday that the Board has also revealed an extra 3,921 results that were being held back.

The statement reads in part: “The Board has painstakingly analysed the process and conduct of the 2024 UTME in some centres where there are strong proofs of substantial non-compliance with the Board’s standards.

”Consequently, 24,535 candidates have been rescheduled to retake the examination in their chosen Examination Towns on Saturday, June 22, 2024.

”Meanwhile, 3,921 outstanding 2024 UTME results that had been cleared have now been released.

”Therefore, concerned candidates are urged to check their results from Saturday, 1st June, 2024 by sending RESULT to 55019 or 66019 to ascertain their status as those cleared would have their results while those rescheduled would be told that they had been rescheduled.

”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.”
