The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has acknowledged the presence of errors in the conduct of the 2025 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME).
The Registrar of the Board, Prof. Ishaq Oloyede, diclosed this during a press briefing in Abuja on Wednesday.
“What should have been a moment of joy has changed due to one or two errors,” Oloyede said.
According to him, “we set all machineries in order, regardless, there were still errors.”
This follows JAMB admission that it had received an unusually high number of complaints regarding discrepancies in candidates’ scores.
This came after reports of poor performances in the recently concluded UTME.
The board had promised that if any glitches are identified, appropriate remedial measures will be implemented promptly.
The 2025 UTME results saw 78 per cent of candidates score less than 200 of the 400 maximum obtainable points.
