The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has scheduled its 2022 Mop-Up Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) for Saturday, 6th August 2022.
Why Results Were Cancelled in 10 CBT Centres
Following a review of field reports and CCTV footage from the May 2022 UTME, JAMB established that widespread examination malpractice occurred in ten (10) CBT centres across five states. While cancelling all results from those ten centres, the Board rescheduled all candidates who actually sat the examination in those centres (excluding absentees) to rewrite the UTME during the mop-up exam on Saturday, 6th August 2022, so that innocent candidates are not punished.
