The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) said it has released the results of more than 68,000 candidates that wrote the Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination on April 27.
This was disclosed on Saturday by the JAMB Lagos Zonal Coordinator, Kamaldeen Oladeji.
Mr. Oladeji said the results, initially seized on account of biometric verification related issues, have all been released. He advised affected candidates, who had protested the development recently in Lagos, Kano, and other places to check their results on the board’s website.
A total of 1,629,102 candidates applied to sit for the Paper Pencil Test (PPT), while 15,008 candidates applied for the Dual Based Test (DBT), bringing the number of candidates to 1,644,110.
The results of over 1.5 million candidates were released on May 3.
Mr. Oladeji also said that there was no going back on the newly introduced Computer Based Test (CBT).
The zonal coordinator, who supervised the CBT of the Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination at University of Lagos, said this in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) on Saturday in Lagos.
A total of 100,000 candidates would be taking the examination across 56 centres in the country.
The examination, which is the first of its kind conducted by the board, is expected to come to an end on June 1.
The zonal coordinator noted that if the country was to compete favourably with other climes, especially with regards to technological advancement, all hands must be on deck to support the initiative.
According to him, the adoption of the CBT will eventually assist in enhancing ICT skills amongst the citizenry.
