By Joseph Erunke, Abuja
The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has officially released the results of the rescheduled 2025 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) held for candidates who experienced technical challenges at their initial exam centres.
According to a statement issued by JAMB’s Public Communication Advisor, Dr. Fabian Benjamin, a total of 336,845 candidates were rescheduled for the makeup exam. However, 21,082 candidates failed to show up on the exam day.
The resit was conducted to accommodate students from centres where technical issues had marred the original UTME sessions. JAMB said the results were released after excluding centres with isolated good sessions and including previously unverified candidates.
“Of the 336,845 who were eventually scheduled after isolated good sessions of the affected centres were excluded and their previously unverified candidates were added, 21,082 were absent,” the statement read.
No specific reason was given for the large number of absentees.
