The Joint Admission and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has fixed Saturday, August 6th for its mop-up Unified Tietary Matriculation Examination ( UMTE) for candidates who are unable to participate examinations during the period of the exercise for verified reasons.
This happens as the Board cancelled results in 10 centres across five out of 36 states of the federation.
JAMB said that the development would enable it to give equal opportunity to all candidates who are desirous of tertiary education.
It said this in its weekly bulletin by JAMB’s Head of Media and Information, Dr Fabian Benjamin on Monday in Abuja.
The board said: “JAMB, after every UTME exercise, reviews various reports from officials in the field and video footage of the examination. The reviews are done by a team of experts, with a view to detecting activities subversive of the examination process.
It’s after all the reports have been collated and considered that the management would take critical decisions as to the necessity or otherwise of a mop-up examination for affected candidates.
“So, after a thorough analysis of the conduct of the 2022 UTME in 10 centres spread across five states of the federation where examination malpractice was established to have taken place, it became necessary to cancel the results of all the candidates who sat the examination in the affected 10 centres.
“The Board took cognisance of the fact that some innocent candidates unfortunately sat their examination at these centres. Consequently, all candidates who sat the UTME in the affected centres have been rescheduled for the mop-up UTME.
“It should be noted that candidates who, for whatever reasons, were absent at those centres are not eligible for the mop-up examination. Other categories of candidates rescheduled for the mop-up UTME are; 142 candidates who could not take the UTME due to finger-print peculiarities; 28 candidates who could not take the UTME due to technical problems in some centres; and 1,799 candidates with BVM failure who were recaptured at the centres.”
