The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has announced that the results of the Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) will be released starting from Tuesday, May 2, 2023, according to the minutes of an emergency management meeting held in Abuja over the weekend. The delay in the release of results was attributed to the board’s desire to complete all necessary screenings before releasing the results. The Board stated that it had delayed the release to ensure that all necessary screening is concluded, besides ensuring that the mean and standard deviation are reasonably obtained before releasing these results.

JAMB on Release Date of UTME 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,” the board said. The examination body also noted that three categories of candidates who missed their examinations had been rescheduled for mop-up examinations. 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.[/p

It was previously reported that the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) rescheduled the 2023 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) from April 25, 2023, to May 2, 2023. The board announced that it would implement new and innovative methods to conduct the exam, with the goal of completely preventing incidents of exam malpractice.[/

“This has been largely achieved as the exercise recorded the lowest reported cases of infractions but with equally emerging challenges on account of human negligence which led to some candidates not being able to sit the examination on the first day. This notwithstanding, out of the 1,586,765 candidates that indicated an interest in sitting the examination, only 80,166 are now outstanding. On the first day of the 2023 UTME, a number of candidates in some centres could not sit the examination as well as in some centres in subsequent days due to diverse reasons. Though a reasonable number of them have been rescheduled and have taken the examination, some are yet to take their examination.[/

As part of the decisions reached at the end of an emergency management meeting held on Sunday, 31st April 2023, the Board has fixed Saturday, 6th May 2023, for all categories of candidates who have not sat their examination, as listed below, to take their examination
