JAMB Addresses Complaints on 2025 UTME Results

The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has acknowledged an unusual surge in public complaints following the release of the 2025 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) results, officially published last Friday. In response, the Board has expedited its annual comprehensive review of the examination process, which typically takes place months after the exercise.

This review covers all three major stages of the UTME process: registration, examination, and result release. During the examination phase, JAMB prioritizes ensuring that all registered candidates are given a fair opportunity to sit for the test. In instances where technical issues occur, the Board promptly reschedules the examination for affected individuals.

The current wave of complaints, particularly from specific states, has prompted a detailed investigation. JAMB is thoroughly examining these reports to uncover any underlying technical issues. To support this effort, the Board has enlisted the expertise of professionals from the Computer Professionals Association of Nigeria, Chief External Examiners (comprising heads of tertiary institutions), the Educational Association and Research Network in Africa, assessment experts, and Vice Chancellors from various universities.

Should any system irregularities be confirmed, JAMB assures the public that corrective measures will be swiftly implemented—just as they are during examination rescheduling processes.
