UTME 2026: O'level tutor shares observation
Legit.ng asked Muhammad Babatunde Salisu, a dedicated O'level tutor for years, about patterns or trends he noticed in this year's UTME and he replied:
"This is an important question. From my few years of experience tutoring JAMB candidates, The most obvious trend I noticed this year was the massive turnout, The statistics already showed with over 2.2 million candidates taking the exam.
"Unfortunately, the mass failure trend continued, as about 78% of students scored below the 200 mark, leaving only around 22% scoring 200 and above.
"Another major pattern was the strict enforcement of the age limit, resulting in thousands of underage candidates seeing a "No Result Yet" message because their scores are withheld pending special screening. There was also a noticeable wave of technical glitches this year again, with centers experiencing server crashes and delayed starts that really frustrated candidates."
