The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) disclosed the outcome of the 2024 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) on Monday.
The announcement was made by Prof. Ishaq Oloyede, the Board’s Registrar, during a press conference held in Bwari, Abuja.
“For the 2024 UTME, 1,989,668 candidates registered including those who registered at foreign centres. The Direct Entry registration is still ongoing.
“Out of a total of 1,989,668 registered candidates, 80,810 were absent. A total of 1,904,189 sat the UTME within the six days of the examination.
“The Board is today releasing the results of 1,842,464 candidates. 64,624 results are under investigation for verification, procedural investigation of candidates, centre-based investigation and alleged examination misconduct.”
The Registrar also mentioned that JAMB is actively overseeing nine international examination centers located in cities such as Abidjan, Addis Ababa, Buea, Cotonou, London, Jeddah, and Johannesburg.
“The essence of this foreign component of the examination is to market our institutions to the outside world as well as ensure that our universities reflect the universality of academic traditions, among others. The Board is, currently, fine-tuning arrangements for the conduct of the 2024 UTME in these foreign centres.”
