JAMB rescheduled UTME results 2025 have been released.
Newsone Nigeria reports that the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has released the results of the rescheduled 2025 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) of candidates impacted by technical glitches.
This online news platform understands that JAMB announced the results in a statement by its Public Communication Advisor, Fabian Benjamin, on Sunday, May 25, 2025.
According to JAMB, of the 336,845 candidates rescheduled for the examination, 21,082 (about 7%) refused to turn up for the exercise.
“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,” Benjamin said.
JAMB spokesman stressed that despite ongoing investigations, performance patterns remained consistent with those of the past years.
The results were approved following a meeting of Chief External Examiners (CEEs), chaired by Prof. Olufemi Peters of the National Open University, and psychometric analysis by Prof. Boniface Nworgu.
Though it didn’t state any specific reasons why the absent candidates were no-show, the examination body has offered them an opportunity to participate in the forthcoming mop-up exam. The waiver also extends to candidates who missed the initial UTME.
JAMB expressed concern over widespread malpractice involving school proprietors, candidates, and Computer-Based Test (CBT) center operators.
After a public outcry, JAMB also approved the release of results of underage candidates, except where litigation is involved. However, these results are ineligible for admission as candidates had already agreed to admission terms during registration.
The body also resolved to release the results of candidates implicated in online malpractice, such as “WhatsApp Runs,” as a one-time waiver, warning them to avoid such practices in the future.
Meanwhile, Newsone understands that CBT centres indicted of malpractice will be blacklisted, and their owners will be prosecuted. At the same time, individuals guilty of biometric and identity fraud during registration will also face legal action.
JAMB condemned the role of some unregulated tutorial centres in facilitating malpractice and called on government authorities to license and monitor such centres.
The board reaffirmed its commitment to CBT as the most reliable means of reducing exam malpractice and promoting digital literacy. It revealed plans to engage management consultants to improve accreditation and registration processes.
JAMB also criticised those attempting to colour the technical issues with tribal and sectional markers, calling for unity and caution against such divisive narratives. It praised its leadership for the professional handling of the situation.
