In a bid to checkmate mass failures in the Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME), being organised by the Joint Admission and Matriculation Board (JAMB), a digital solutions company, Globacom, has said its Examination Preparatory Service can address the problems.
The company made this known following widespread concerns over the poor performance of students in the 2025 UTME
Examination Preparatory Service, according to Globacom, was specifically designed to help students excel in computer-based examinations and that it trains students on practical ways to excel in examinations, such as UTME, Junior and Senior West African Examination Council examinations as well as IELTS.
The 2025 UTME results released by JAMB on May 5 had elicited widespread concerns as more than 1.5million out of 1.9million candidates whose results were released scored below 200. A breakdown of the results released by JAMB on Monday showed that 983,187 candidates (50.29%) scored between 160 and 199, while 488,197 candidates (24.97%) scored between 140 and 159.
Globacom said in a press statement in Lagos that the Glo Examination Preparatory Service would help combat poor examination performances, especially among secondary school students who take the listed examinations.
