The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board
(JAMB) on Tuesday said it has released the results of the first set of
candidates who took the Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) on
Saturday.
Head of information Dr. Fabian Benjamin said
the results were released “within 24 hours of the examination and candidates
are to check their e-mail addresses or visit the board's website for their
results.”
He said a total of 742,906 candidates took
the examination on Saturday, 13th and Monday 15th May, 2017 while 401,292
candidates were expected to write the exam on Tuesday, raising the number to
over 1,144,198 out of the 1,718,425 candidates slated for the examination this
year.
He said the examination was adjudged
“excellent by all stakeholders, parent, students and the mass media.
Particularly acknowledged, was the prompt response of the board to very few
technical issues reported during the nationwide exercise.”
He said a technical team was on standby at
the JAMB headquarters to receive and address complaints from the 642 centres
across the country.
The 2017 UTME would end on Saturday 20th May,
2017
