The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB), has released the results of candidates that participated in the supplementary Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) conducted between Friday, 21st and Saturday, 22nd June, 2024.
The JAMB Spokesman, Dr. Fabian Benjamin, in a statement on Friday, explained that the supplementary examination was conducted for 28,835 candidates who were unable to be biometrically verified during the main 2024 UTME and were, therefore, unable to take their examination. He said the other category of candidates were those suspected to have been involved in examination malpractices during the main UTME, but were given a second chance to sit the examination. Dr Fabian said the exercise recorded a huge success nationwide as a result of heightened security measures put in place by JAMB to prevent any instance of examination infractions.
He confirmed that some nefarious characters that had attempted to impersonate bona fide candidates were apprehended and handed over to law enforcement agencies for further investigation and prosecution. He assured candidates that the Board would continue to ensure that no candidate benefit from any acts of infractions through the deployment of state-of-the-art technology before, during and after its examinations. He, therefore, appealed to candidates to refrain from engaging in any form of irregularities during examinations, and also desist from soliciting score upgrade from fraudsters or engage in the mutilation of their result sheets while trying to generate fake result sheets with higher scores.
