Breaking: JAMB releases results of 80,000 candidates who participated in mop-up UTME

Candidates who participated in the recent mop-up Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) can now check their results.

According to the Joint Admission and Matriculation Board (JAMB) 80,000 candidates participated in the examination on Saturday, May 6.

It would be recalled that the JAMB on May 1, 2023, arranged a mop-up UTME for candidates who missed the chance to sit for the examinations between the period scheduled by the board owing to “no faults of their own.”

The categories of candidates who participated in the exam included the following:

Those who were verified at their centres but could not sit the examination

Those who could not be biometrically verified

Those with mismatched data

The board through its spokesperson, Dr Fabian Benjamin noted that the results of the mop-up UTME have all been released.

“Results of mop-up UTME held on Saturday, May 6, 2023, released,” the board said.
