Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board, JAMB, says it will release the results of 379,000 candidates who sat for the rescheduled Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination, UTME, on Wednesday.<\/p>\n

DAILY POST reports that the resit was conducted between Friday and Monday after widespread complaints of technical and human errors during the initial UTME, which significantly impacted candidates\u2019 performance, especially in Lagos and the South-East.<\/p>\n

The Board stated that the glitches necessitated rescheduling the exam, acknowledging lapses in its system.<\/p>\n

Recall that last week, the JAMB\u2019s Registrar, Prof. Ishaq Oloyede, publicly accepted responsibility and even broke down in tears while announcing a makeup exam for the affected candidates.<\/p>\n

DAILY POST reports that out of the 1,955,069 candidates who took the original UTME, more than 1.5 million scored below 200 marks out of a possible 400, fueling concern over the fairness and credibility of the exam.<\/p>\n

The Board\u2019s spokesman, Fabian Benjamin, while speaking to newsmen on Monday, confirmed the resit results would be released on Wednesday.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe results of the candidates who took the rescheduled exam will be released on Wednesday,\u201d Benjamin said.<\/p>\n

The registrar previously disclosed that 379,997 candidates were affected\u2014206,610 across 65 centres in Lagos and 173,387 in 92 centres in the South-East.<\/p>\n

He described the disruptions as an act of \u201csabotage\u201d and said affected candidates were notified via SMS starting last Thursday.<\/p>\n

Of the nearly two million results processed, only 4,756 candidates (0.24%) scored 320 and above.<\/p>\n

A breakdown of the result shows that 7,658 candidates (0.39%) scored between 300 and 319, bringing the number of those who scored 300 and above to just 12,414 (0.63%).<\/p>\n

Also, 73,441 candidates (3.76%) scored between 250\u2013299; 334,560 (17.11%) scored between 200\u2013249; 983,187 (50.29%) scored between 160\u2013199; 488,197 (24.97%) scored between 140\u2013159; 57,419 (2.94%) scored between 120\u2013139; 3,820 (0.20%) scored between 100\u2013119; while 2,031 (0.10%) scored below 100.<\/p>\n
