The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has released the results of candidates who participated in the supplementary Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME).
The examination was conducted between June 21 and 22, 2024.
This board’s spokesperson, Dr Fabian Benjamin, disclosed this in a statement in Abuja on Friday, June 28.
According to examination body, 28,835 applicants who could not provide biometric verification during the main 2024 UTME took the supplementary exam.
JAMB noted that students who were given a second opportunity to take the exam but were suspected of engaging in examination misconduct during the main UTME comprised the other category of candidates.
“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,” the statement read.
“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 noted.
JAMB maintained that it will 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.
It urged students to refrain from engaging in any form of irregularity during their examinations, in their own interests.
The board also prohibited applicants from soliciting score upgrades from fraudsters or mutilating their result sheets to manufacture fraudulent result sheets with higher scores.
