The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has revealed that it will begin releasing the results of the Unified Tertiary Matriculation Board on Tuesday, May 2, 2023.

The news is contained in the minutes of an emergency meeting which took place over the weekend in Abuja.

The board disclosed that the delay in the release of results is because it wants to ensure the conclusion of all necessary screenings.

“The Board would be releasing the results of candidates, who have taken the examination so far on Tuesday, 2nd May, 2023.

“The Board had delayed the release to ensure that all necessary screening are concluded besides ensuring that the mean and standard deviation are reasonably obtained before releasing these results.

“As candidates check their results on Tuesday, 2nd May 2023, those who sat the examination but had challenges without being aware of such, would not see their results but would instead see their notification for rescheduled examination”, it noted.

JAMB also stated that three categories of candidates who missed their examinations have been rescheduled for mop-up examinations. 

“All candidates, who could not sit the 2023 UTME within their scheduled time owing to no fault of theirs, would be rescheduled to take the examination on Saturday, 6th May 2023.

“Candidates under these categories are principally those who were verified at their centres but could not sit the examination; those who could not be biometrically verified, and those with mismatched data”, it added.
