The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has officially acknowledged that errors within its system affected the results of some candidates who sat for the 2025 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME). In a statement released earlier today, JAMB confirmed that technical glitches during result processing led to discrepancies in the scores of certain candidates.
According to the board, an internal audit revealed the anomalies after numerous complaints from students and parents. JAMB’s Registrar, Prof. Ishaq Oloyede, assured the public that the issue is being addressed, and a thorough review of all affected results is currently underway.
“We sincerely regret the inconvenience this has caused candidates and their families,” the statement read. “We are working to ensure that all affected candidates receive accurate scores and fair outcomes.”
Candidates have been advised to remain calm and await further instructions, as JAMB plans to release corrected scores soon. The board also announced a temporary suspension of result checking on its portal to prevent further confusion.
More updates to follow as the situation develops.
