The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has released additional 3,921 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) results.
The board has also rescheduled a total of 24,535 candidates to resit for the exam on Saturday, June 22 while the 2024 Direct Entry (DE) registration will now close on Monday, June 17, 2024.
Spokesperson for JAMB, Dr. Fabian Benjamin, in a statement on Sunday, said 322 candidates were migrated to the category of those under examination misconduct as a prima-facie case was clearly established that those who had registered were not those who appeared for the examination.
“Consequently, 24,535 candidates have been rescheduled to retake the examination in their chosen Examination Towns on Saturday, June 22, 2024,” he said.
“The rescheduled candidates are to print their supplementary Examination Notification Slip from Tuesday, 4th June 2024 to ascertain their designated examination centres.
“This release brings the total results released to 1,883,350. The rescheduled examination, which is taking place on Saturday, 22nd June 2024, two weeks from now, is to give affected candidates adequate time to prepare for the exercise.
“This notice does not concern candidates whose results have been released. Candidates with prima facie case(s) of examination misconduct, would be further interrogated to establish their culpability after which appropriate measures would be taken on them and announced”, the statement added.
The Board urged all eligible candidates to take advantage of this opportunity to register as no further extension would be entertained, saying the previously announced criteria for DE registration remain unchanged.
