The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has released an additional 279 results from the batch of 2026 UTME results that were previously withheld for further investigation.
Why Were the Results Released?
Following a detailed review of suspected examination malpractice cases across affected CBT centres, JAMB cleared and released the results of 279 candidates where no prima facie evidence of wrongdoing was found against them.
However, the Board noted that:
- Results where clear evidence of examination malpractice was established have been outrightly cancelled.
- Results from centres where JAMB's live monitoring team flagged suspicious activities or adverse reports remain under investigation and will be cancelled if culpability is proven.
