The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) says it has
released the results of 1,502,978 candidates who sat for the 2018
Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME).
The board disclosed this in a statement released by Fabian
Benjamin, its head of media, in Abuja on Tuesday.
According to the statement, the board released the results after
viewing all CCTV footage during the conduct of the examination and
also after considering reports from its supervisors who monitored
the exercise.
The board said a total of 1,652,825 candidates registered for
the 2018 examination, adding that the results of 112,331 candidates
were yet to be released.
It noted that “out of the number yet to be released, 350 are
results of blind candidates which would be released soon, while
111,981 results were being withheld for further screening”.
The board said the figure excluded foreign candidates whose
examination was scheduled for April.
The 2018 UTME commenced on March 9 and ended on March 19.
JAMB had said unlike the 2017 exercise, the release of results
would not be immediate, adding that JAMB would scrutinise
candidates’ results before releasing them to avoid multiple
cancellations later.
