The Registrar of the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB), Prof. Ishaq Oloyede, has explained that while the scores of candidates who sat for the initial days of the 2022 UTME are ready, the Board is completing its internal appraisal of field malpractice reports before releasing the results to the public.
Preventing Post-Release Result Withdrawals
Speaking with journalists in Abuja on Tuesday, 10th May 2022, during a joint meeting of NYSC management and Registrars of Corps-Producing Institutions, Prof. Oloyede explained the Board's quality-control process:
- After the first day's exam scores were processed, JAMB discovered that only 60 percent (and subsequently 70 percent) of the field monitoring and malpractice reports from CBT centres had been uploaded.
- Rather than rushing to release results while 30 to 40 percent of field reports were still pending—and then having to withdraw scores after candidates had already printed them—JAMB insisted on receiving 100 percent of the field reports for each batch before publishing the results.
- Prof. Oloyede confirmed that the review for the opening Friday and Saturday batches was concluding and the results would be signed and released shortly.
While waiting for the release of your batch result, start preparing for your university's Post-UTME screening using the Mentra POST-UTME app on Android and iOS.
