The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board, JAMB, has released the results of the recently conducted 2025 UTME resit examination for candidates at centres impacted by technical glitches, saying 99 per cent scored below 200
The results indicated that of the 336,845 candidates rescheduled for the examination, 21,082, representing 93 per cent, were absent.
No reason was, however, given for the high absence rate of the candidates in the rescheduled examination.
The board, which released the results in a statement by its Public Communication Advisor, Fabian Benjamin, yesterday, said: “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.”
However, JAMB again, extended an olive branch to the absentee candidates by offering them opportunity to participate during the normal annual mop-up examination yet to be scheduled.
The examination body also explained that there were no high scorers in the cancelled results of the UTME in the five states of the South East and Lagos State affected by technical glitches.
“Only a handful scored up to 217 in the affected sessions, while 99 per cent scored below 200 marks, indicating that there were no high scorers in the cancelled sessions of the affected six states.”
