Following the JAMB UTME Resit, here is the Latest JAMB News Today, 21st May 2025.
Recall that the Joint Admission and Matriculation Board (JAMB) had rescheduled the 2025 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) for candidates affected by technical issues in 157 centres.
The centres, located in the Lagos and Owerri zones, experienced disruptions that led to the loss of candidate responses during the early days of the exam.
According to JAMB, the problem was traced to the service provider’s failure to update certain delivery servers, which affected the proper upload of answers.
In total, 65 centres in Lagos zone, covering 206,610 candidates, and 92 centres in Owerri zone, involving 173,387 candidates, were impacted.
The error was detected on April 25, 2025, the second day of the examination.
JAMB said all affected candidates will retake their exams starting Friday, May 16, 2025.
Results of 379,000 Candidates to be Released on Today Wednesday 21st of May 2025
The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board has announced that it will on Wednesday release the results of 379,000 candidates who sat the rescheduled Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination between Friday and Monday.
Out of the 1.9 million candidates who sat this year’s UTME, over 1.5 million scored below 200 marks out of a possible 400, prompting widespread concern among stakeholders.
Following sustained pressure, JAMB investigated the mass failure and discovered technical and human errors in its system. JAMB Registrar, Prof. Ishaq Oloyede, last week publicly accepted responsibility for the errors, even shedding tears while announcing a resit for the affected candidates.
