JAMB Expresses Concern Over UTME Make-Up Exam

The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has expressed a fresh concern over the upcoming Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination, UTME make-up examination.

It says only a small fraction of the scheduled candidates for the UTME Make-Up Exam had completed the slip-printing process, according to a statement issued JAMB spokesperson, Fabian Benjamin today.

“As of this morning  only 12,442 out of the 98,232 scheduled candidates have printed their slips, reflecting a mere 12.6% participation rate,” the statement read.

“We strongly encourage all candidates, particularly those who missed the main examination, to print their notification slips promptly.

“This is a rare opportunity for them to participate in this year’s examination.

“We urge all candidates who missed their previous examinations to reprint their slips to ensure they do not miss this opportunity”, the statement said.

“The Board is actively monitoring the printing process to determine the number of candidates who will be present for the examination.

“Meanwhile, we have deployed both human and material resources to facilitate this exercise, ensuring that all registered candidates have the opportunity to sit the examination,” the statement concluded.
