The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board have announced the release of the 2024 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination on Monday.
The Registrar of the Board, Prof. Ishaq Oloyede, disclosed this during an ongoing press briefing in Bwari, Abuja.
Oloyede also noted that the results of 64,624 out of the 1,904,189 who sat the examination have been withheld to be subjected for investigation by the Board.
“For the 2024 UTME, 1,989,668 candidates registered including those who registered at foreign centres. The Direct Entry registration is still ongoing.
“Out of a total of 1,989,668 registered candidates, 80,810 were absent. A total of 1,904,189 sat the UTME within the six days of the examination.
“The Board is today releasing the results of 1,842,464 candidates. 64,624 results are under investigation for verification, procedural investigation of candidates, centre-based investigation and alleged examination misconduct.”
Oloyede also stated that the Board, at the moment, examines nine foreign centres namely: Abidjan, Ivory Coast; Addis Ababa, Ethiopia; Buea, Cameroon; Cotonou, Republic of Benin; London, United Kingdom; Jeddah, Saudi Arabia; and Johannesburg, South Africa.
“The essence of this foreign component of the examination is to market our institutions to the outside world as well as ensure that our universities reflect the universality of academic traditions, among others. The Board is, currently, fine-tuning arrangements for the conduct of the 2024 UTME in these foreign centres.”
