The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has acknowledged receiving an unexpected wave of public complaints following the release of the 2025 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) results. The results were officially released last Friday, but candidates across Nigeria have raised concerns about possible irregularities.
Recall that JAMB released 2025 UTME results last Friday.
Due to the volume of feedback, JAMB is fast-tracking its yearly system review. This review, usually conducted months after the UTME, examines the registration process, the examination itself, and the final release of results. This early move is aimed at maintaining transparency and trust, especially for students relying on these scores for university admission in Nigeria.
Some of the complaints are coming from specific states, where candidates say there may have been technical issues during the test. In line with its commitment to fairness, JAMB is currently investigating these claims thoroughly.
The board has brought in experts from respected organizations, such as the Computer Professionals Association of Nigeria and Vice Chancellors from top institutions, to help with the review.
If any glitches are confirmed, JAMB has promised to act quickly and fairly. Their usual response to technical issues includes rescheduling the exam or adjusting results, ensuring no candidate is left behind due to system faults.
This approach supports higher education in Nigeria and builds confidence in computer-based testing systems.
