Reactions as JAMB set to release new UTME results

@enyola said:

"Why are results being delayed for days in a CBT. I’ve written a number of CBT for professional exams in the last years and my result is usually instant, why is @JAMBHQ going to Mecca and reappearing on Mount Camel days later?"

@kcemenikex said:

"I still insist that if every student affected insisted on a remark, regardless of the decision of JAMB, we would not be in this mess."

@AGBARISM said:

"Sir, some students didn't get their result during the initial examination and weren't rescheduled as they were told 'extraneous fingerprint anomaly'. These students were duly cleared during the biometric verification. Is this how they will be denied result and chance of a resit?"

@MenaBossBoss said:

"CBT way supposed be maximum 1 day your results is out. Why is it taking days, weeks and months before results come out. Immediately you click on submit, your results will be ready. Why does it take months for CBT results to be out? Is there something Jamb is not telling us?"

@Shebydelle182 said:

"Nigerians are very pleased with you for been distinctive. Please,what of the paradigm shift as regards the immediate checking of the scores."

Teacher rejects her JAMB result

Earlier, Legit.ng reported that a lady had written an open letter to the Joint Admission and Matriculation Board (JAMB) to lay her complaints.

According to the letter, which she published on Facebook, she was sure that the result sent to her did not belong to her.

The lady is disputing the result on the grounds that she scored too low compared to her performance in 2024.
