The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board( JAMB) has cleared and released the UTME results of 14,620 candidates hitherto under investigation, while results of 93 candidates have been withheld.
This followed the consideration and further approval of the recommendations of the investigators by the Board’ management at a management meeting held on Tuesday, 27th July, 2021.
“You will recall that the Board, in its earlier release, stated it would still review the results of the 2021 UTME exercise and any candidate found wanting would have his/her result withheld. Out of the withheld results, thirteen were discovered to have been involved in examination infractions after they were released and the one earlier withdrawn brought the total of the results that have been withdrawn to fourteen.
In a similar vein, the results of 332 blind candidates who wrote their examinations this month were released.
