JAMB Releases 895,000 Results of Computer-Based UTME Exams

The Joint Admission and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has released about
895, 000 results of candidates who sat for the Computer Based Test
(CBT) 2015 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examinations.

The Registrar of JAMB Prof. Dibu Ojerinde said this on Thursday in
Abuja during the inspection of proceedings of exams at designated
centres by the Minister of States for Education, Prof. Viola Onwuliri.

Ojerinde said the 895, 000 results released does not equals the amount
of results collected because some candidates who are yet to get their
results may have given JAMB wrong phone numbers.

"The results are already on the net (website) for those who have
written the exams. They should use their registration number and log
on to the JAMB website and get the result, but the results that are
not ready cannot be joined with the available ones," he said.

The Registrar explained that the board has resolved the challenges
faced earlier and that they are now stabilized to carry on in the next
11 days.

He said: "We hope to have less days next year because Mr. President is
building centres in all states of the federation particularly in the
local governments which will be ready for use next year."

While inspecting the conduct of the examination at Chamscity and NIIT
centres in Abuja, Prof. Onwuliri said she was impressed with the CBT
examination which makes result available two hours after the candidate
finishes his or her exams and by so doing remove obstacles around
marking and grading of the exam results.

She noted that the CBT is part of government efforts to make Nigeria
part of the global community and achieving excellence in education in
terms of access and quality.
