The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has acknowledged receiving a high volume of unusual complaints following the release of the 2025 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) results last Friday.
In response, the Board has fast-tracked its annual system review—which usually takes place months after the examination—to immediately audit every stage of the 2025 UTME: registration, exam delivery, and result scoring.
Independent Panel Investigating State-Specific Glitches
- JAMB noted that the majority of the complaints are concentrated in a few specific states and is investigating whether technical glitches affected those centres.
- To ensure a transparent and thorough audit, JAMB has invited independent experts, including members of the Computer Professionals (Registration Council) of Nigeria, Chief External Examiners, Vice-Chancellors, and educational assessment specialists across Africa.
- The Board assured candidates and parents that if any system errors are confirmed, affected candidates will be promptly rescheduled to retake the examination, in line with JAMB's standard practice.
Stay prepared as we await the outcome of the technical audit by keeping your revision active on the Mentra JAMB CBT app (available on Android and iOS).
