The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has commenced investigation into alleged complaints of glitches from a few states during the 2025 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination.
A statement by its Public Communication Advisor, Fabian Benjamin explains that It is scrutinising the issues in detail to identify and resolve any technical faults.
According to the statement, the Board has engaged experts, including members from the Computer Professionals Association of Nigeria, Chief External Examiners, who are heads of tertiary institutions, the Educational Assessment and Research Network in Africa, measurement experts, and Vice Chancellors from various institutions.
It states that If it is determined that there were indeed glitches, appropriate remedial measures will be promptly applied.
It reads in part ”The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) acknowledges the significant volume of unusual complaints following the release of the 2025 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) results, which were officially published last Friday . In response, the Board is fast forwarding its annual system review—a comprehensive post-mortem of the examination process that is conducted each year months after the exercise.
”The Board’s annual review encompasses three key stages: registration, examination, and result release. During the examination phase, JAMB ensures that every candidate is afforded the opportunity to sit for the test. Should any technical issues arise, the Board reschedules the examination for affected candidates without hesitation”.
