The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has announced the release of results for candidates who participated in the supplementary Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) held between June 21 and 22, 2024. The board’s spokesperson, Dr. Fabian Benjamin, made this known in a statement released on Friday in Abuja.
The supplementary exam catered to 28,835 candidates who were unable to undergo biometric verification during the main 2024 UTME. Additionally, students who were suspected of engaging in examination misconduct during the main UTME and were given a second chance to take the exam also participated.
“The exercise, which recorded a huge success nationwide, was marked by heightened security measures put in place by the board to preclude any instance of examination infractions,” the statement said. “As such, some nefarious characters who had attempted to impersonate bona fide candidates were apprehended and handed over to law enforcement agencies for further investigation and prosecution.”
JAMB emphasized its commitment to ensuring that no candidate benefits from acts of infraction, deploying state-of-the-art technology before, during, and after examinations to uphold the integrity of the process. The board also urged candidates to avoid engaging in any form of irregularity during their examinations.
Furthermore, JAMB warned against soliciting score upgrades from fraudsters or tampering with result sheets to fabricate higher scores. Candidates are advised to check their supplementary UTME results by texting UTMERESULT to either 55019 or 66019 using the same phone number they used to obtain their profile codes at the start of registration.
The board’s firm stance on examination integrity and the implementation of stringent security measures underscore its dedication to maintaining a fair and credible examination process for all candidates.
