JAMB announces date for release of 2023 UTME results

The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) on Monday said it would commence the release of results of the Unified Tertiary Matriculation Board (UTME) on Tuesday, May 2, 2023.
Telescope.ng reports that this was contained in the minutes of the meeting held at the end of an emergency management meeting held on Sunday, April 30, in Abuja.
According to The Punch, the board said that the delay in the release of results was due to the fact that it wanted to ensure that all necessary screenings were concluded.
It said: “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.”
The JAMB also noted that three categories of candidates who missed their examinations had been rescheduled for mop-up examinations.
It added: “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.”
