The Joint Admission and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has released an additional 531 results for its recently concluded Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME).
Fabian Benjamin, the board’s national spokesperson, confirmed the development in a statement on Tuesday.
JAMB, on April 29, released the UTME results of 1,842,464 candidates.
The exam body said 64,624 results were under investigation for reasons including verification anomalies, centres suspected of infractions, and cases of exam malpractice
Benjamin said the board proceeded with the screening of the withheld results.
He said an additional 531 results have been released, taking the total number of results released to 1,842,897.
“In the course of the exercise, other cases of examination misconduct were also established to make a tally of 92 from the 81 initially discovered,” Benjamin said.
“The board is also looking at cases of unverified candidates and will soon come up with a position.
“For now, the method of checking the 2024 UTME remains to send UTMERESULT to 55019 or 66019 and not through any other process. The result, at the moment, is not on the Board’s website.”
Benjamin denied claims that an unknown candidate who did not partake in the board’s 2024 UTME obtained scores.
“In investigating some of these allegations, the board discovered that some of these mischief makers copy results sent to other candidates, edit the details sent to themselves, and then parade this as emanating from the board,” he added.
“The board challenges any candidate, parent or anybody with such a claim or information to prove it wrong by coming forward with the details of such claims and the phone number with which such results were conveyed.”
