The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) will reschedule the Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) for candidates affected by technical glitches during the ongoing exam. The public communication adviser, Fabian Benjamin, made the announcement on Friday in Abuja while addressing concerns raised at the Good Success Computer-Based Test (CBT) Centre, Utako. He stated that only a few out of 957 nationwide CBT centres experienced operational failures and that affected candidates would be reassigned to new exam dates and centres. A mop-up examination will also be conducted for those unable to write due to centre failures. Benjamin emphasized that JAMB had mechanisms in place to promptly address challenges, acknowledging that minor disruptions were expected at such a large scale. The Senate Committee on Tertiary Institutions and TETFund, led by chairman Mohammed Dandutse, confirmed technical issues occurred both Thursday and Friday across multiple centres, including in Abuja, and pledged increased oversight.
Candidates who missed their UTME due to technical failures at centres like Good Success CBT Centre, Utako, will have to wait for reassignment or a mop-up exam. Affected students should monitor official JAMB channels for their new dates and ensure they are available when rescheduled.
