The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board has announced the results of applicants who took part in the supplementary Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination on June 21 and 22, 2024.
Dr. Fabian Benjamin, the board’s spokesperson, announced this in a statement issued on Friday in Abuja.
According to JAMB, 28,835 applicants who were unable to produce biometric verification during the main 2024 UTME attempted the supplemental exam.
In a similar vein, the board noted that students who were given a second chance to sit the exam but were suspected of indulging in examination misconduct during the main UTME made up the other group of candidates.
“The exercise, which recorded a huge success nationwide, was marked by heightened security measures put in place by the board to preclude any instance of examination infractions.
“As such, some nefarious characters who had attempted to impersonate bona fide candidates were apprehended and handed over to law enforcement agencies for further investigation and prosecution,” the board noted.
It said it will continue to ensure that no candidate benefits from any acts of infractions through the deployment of state-of-the-art technology before, during, and after its examinations.
JAMB, therefore, urged candidates, in their interest, to refrain from engaging in any form of irregularity during their examinations.
The board also prohibited applicants from soliciting score upgrades from fraudsters or mutilating their result sheets to manufacture fraudulent result sheets with higher scores.
It also advised candidates to check their supplementary UTME results by texting UTMERESULT to either 55019 or 66019, using the same phone number they used to obtain their profile codes at the start of registration.
