The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has announced that it would commence the release of the 2023 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Board (UTME) results on Tuesday, May 2.
This was contained in a meeting minutes by the board held at the end of an emergency management meeting held on Sunday, 31st April 2023 in Abuja and made available to newsmen on Monday.
In the minute, the board stated that the delay in the release of results was because they wants to ensure that all necessary screenings were concluded before releasing the results.
“The Board would be releasing the results of candidates, who have taken the examination so far on Tuesday, 2nd May, 2023. The Board had delayed the release to ensure that all necessary screening are concluded besides ensuring that the mean and standard deviation are reasonably obtained before releasing these results.
“As candidates check their results on Tuesday, 2nd May, 2023, those who sat the examination but had challenges without being aware of such, would not see their results but would instead see their notification for rescheduled examination,” it said.
Similarly, the examination body also noted that three categories of candidates who missed their examinations had been rescheduled to take the examination on Saturday.
“All candidates, who could not sit the 2023 UTME within their scheduled time owing to no fault of theirs, would be rescheduled to take the examination on Saturday, 6th May, 2023.
“Candidates under these categories are principally those who were verified at their centres but could not sit the examination; those who could not be biometrically verified, and those with mismatched data”.
