The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has released the results for the supplementary Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) held on Friday, June 21, and Saturday, June 22, 2024.
This board’s spokesperson, Dr Fabian Benjamin, who disclosed this in a statement in Abuja on Friday, June 28, said the examination was conducted between Friday, June 21, and Saturday, June 22, 2024.
Benjamin said the supplementary exam was for 28,835 candidates who couldn’t be biometrically verified during the main 2024 UTME and couldn’t take the test.
He noted that the examination also included candidates suspected of cheating during the main UTME, who were given another chance to take the exam.
It said, “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.
“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.
“The Board would continue to ensure that no candidate benefits from any acts of infractions through the deployment of state-of-the-art technology before, during and after its examinations.
“Candidates are, therefore, urged in their interest to refrain from engaging in any form of irregularities during their examinations. They are also enjoined to desist from soliciting score upgrades from fraudsters or engaging in the mutilation of their result sheets while trying to generate fake result sheets with higher scores.
“To check their supplementary UTME results, candidates are to send UTMERESULT to either 55019 or 66019 through the same phone number they had used to generate their profile codes at the start of registration.”
KanyiDaily recalls that JAMB had revealed why it won’t announce the names of the top scorers in the 2024 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME).
