- JAMB prepares to announce 2024 UTME results in Abuja today, with Prof. Ishaq Oloyede addressing the press conference
- Initial indications suggest early-stage UTME candidates may receive results today, while others await further scrutiny for integrity assurance
Today marks a significant moment for students awaiting their fate in the 2024 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) as the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) gears up to unveil the results.
Scheduled for a press conference in Abuja, JAMB Registrar Prof. Ishaq Oloyede will shed light on the outcome of the examination and related matters.
Initial signs suggest that the results to be disclosed today pertain to candidates who took the UTME in its early stages. However, others may have to wait longer as the board ensures thorough scrutiny.
JAMB had opted to delay the results release to conduct meticulous checks, prioritizing the credibility and integrity of the outcomes. This measure addresses concerns such as impersonation and irregular biometrics that could cloud the results.
The 2024 UTME, which commenced on April 19 and concludes today, witnessed an impressive turnout, with over 1.9 million candidates participating across 700 Computer-Based Test (CBT) centres nationwide.
Previously, JAMB habitually released results shortly after the examination. However, recent years revealed underlying issues prompting the board to adopt a more cautious approach, withholding results for further review to uphold standards and fairness.
