The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has released the results of candidates who took the supplementary Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) on June 21 and 22.
JAMB’s spokesman, Fabian Benjamin, disclosed this in a statement on Friday.
JAMB said the supplementary examination was conducted for 28,835 candidates who could not be biometrically verified during the main 2024 UTME.
JAMB said the other category of candidates were those suspected of having been involved in examination malpractices during the main UTME but who were given a second chance to sit the examination.
“The exercise, which recorded a huge success nationwide, was marked by heightened security measures put in place by the board to preclude any instance of examination infractions.
“As such, some nefarious characters, who had attempted to impersonate bona fide candidates, were apprehended and handed over to law enforcement agencies for further investigation and prosecution,” JAMB said.
JAMB said it would continue to deploy state-of-the-art technology before, during, and after its examinations to ensure that no candidate benefits from any acts of infractions.
JAMB, therefore, urged candidates to refrain from engaging in any form of irregularity during their examinations. It urged candidates to desist from soliciting score upgrades from fraudsters or mutating their result sheets while trying to generate fake result sheets with higher scores.
JAMB advised candidates to check their supplementary UTME results by sending UTMERESULT to 55019 or 66019 using the same phone number they used to generate their profile codes at registration.
