Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has announced the result of candidates who have taken the 2023 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) so far would be released today.

Its spokesman, Fabian Benjamin, in a statement, yesterday, explained the release of the results were deliberately delayed to ensure all necessary screening are concluded, besides ensuring the mean and standard deviation are reasonably obtained before releasing the results.
He, however, confirmed some candidates who had sat for the examination would not see their results, but would, instead, see their notification for rescheduled examination because they had challenges during the exercise without being aware.
Meanwhile, JAMB announced some candidates who had some issues that affected their seamless participation in the exercise have been rescheduled to take the examination on Saturday, May 6, 2023, under close watch.
JAMB said the affected candidates are those who were verified at their centres but could not sit for the examination, those who biometric could not be verified, and those with mismatched data.
Others are candidates who were scheduled to sit for examination at the Beautiful Beginning CBT Centre, Apo, Abuja, but missed the examination because of error in address released by JAMB which led to some candidates missing the examination.
“It should be noted that the name of the centre which is Beautiful Beginning CBT Centre, Apo, Abuja, featured ‘Gwagwalada’ instead of ‘Apo’ hence misleading the candidates,” JAMB said.
Other affected candidates are those who were rescheduled to re-take their examination on Thursday, April 27, 2023, but received the notification late on Thursday night, and so missed the examination.
JAMB admitted that some candidates could not receive the notification because their schools held on to their channels of receiving messages such as their SIM cards, e-mail addresses and profile codes despite repeated warnings by JAMB that UTME was never a school-based exercise.
Also rescheduled are candidates whose centres could not carry their full capacity of 250 and, such, had to be batched with some of the centres taking 150 candidates rather than the 250 allotted to them per session.
“Some of the remaining candidates in the batched sessions have also been rescheduled and have taken the examination but some are yet to do so,” JAMB said.
JAMB urged the candidates to print their notification slips on or before Thursday, May 4 and 5, 2023, so as to know the time and venue of their examination.
