Owing to the volume of complaints about the recently released Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) results, the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has engaged Measurement Experts, Vice Chancellors and other experts to resolve the problem.
JAMB Spokesperson, Fabian Benjamin announced the development in a statement on Monday.
Fabian said, “JAMB acknowledges the significant volume of unusual complaints following the release of the 2025 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) results, which were officially published last Friday.
“In response, the Board is fast forwarding its annual system review—a comprehensive post-mortem of the examination process that is conducted each year months after the exercise”.
He explained that the Board’s annual review encompasses three key stages: registration, examination, and result release.
“During the examination phase, JAMB ensures that every candidate is afforded the opportunity to sit for the test. Should any technical issues arise, the Board reschedules the examination for affected candidates without hesitation”, he said.
The Spokesperson however stated that they were particularly concerned about the unusual complaints originating from a few states within the Federation.
“We are currently scrutinising these complaints in detail to identify and rectify any potential technical issues.
“To assist in this process, we have engaged a number of experts, including 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”,he said.
He assured that if it is determined that there were indeed glitches, JAMB will implement appropriate remedial measures promptly, “as we do in the case of the examinations themselves”.
