UTME 2025: Boy Claims There Was Glitch in JAMB System after Getting 150 Aggregate Score

• A Nigerian student has lamented bitterly on social media after seeing his Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) result
• According to the young man, he had sleepless nights due to his consistent hard work and preparation for the examination

A Nigerian student's disappointing performance in the Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination has stirred emotions on social media.

The student expressed his frustration with the examination process, questioning the accuracy of his score.

Student laments over UTME 2025 score

The student's emotional outburst was captured in a post on TikTok, shared by @rex_reuben.

In the post, he recounted his extensive preparation for the exam, including months of studying, practicing past questions, and taking computer-based mock tests.

He had consistently scored high marks in these practice exams, leading him to believe that his actual score would be much higher than the 150 he received.

The student attributed his disappointing score to an alleged glitch in the system, rather than a lack of effort or preparation on his part.

In his words:

"The devil couldn't get to me so he sent JAMB instead. There's no way I could have scored 150 after all my prep for months, past questions and CBT mock, scoring 300+ in mock exam and previous jamb exam. Sleepless nights, consistent hard work, there was definitely a glitch in the system. “They didn’t read, that’s why they failed”: Me: I did with evidence, “well you may have failed because of over sabi and you didn’t pray”. Mtcheeeeew."

Many TikTok users rallied around the student, offering words of comfort and support regarding his situation.

"Forget about my school app shey na same question you see there ni, because I have did my school most time and got 280+ and sometimes I do get 232, so forget about my school app."
