The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has announced its intention to reassess the recently published 2025 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) scores.
This decision was prompted by a surge of grievances regarding low marks.
In a statement released on Monday by the board’s representative, Fabian Benjamin, JAMB disclosed that it has accelerated its annual review process following the “considerable influx of atypical complaints” received since the scores were announced on Friday.
“If it is found that there were indeed errors, we will take appropriate corrective actions without delay, just as we do in cases concerning the examinations themselves,” the board asserted.
JAMB has shown concern over the influx of complaints, especially from several states, and confirmed that it is conducting a thorough investigation of the allegations to pinpoint and address any possible technical difficulties.
The review process, according to JAMB, will encompass all essential phases of the UTME – registration, examination, and score compilation.
The board noted that it is standard procedure to postpone examinations for candidates impacted by technical disruptions during the exam timeframe.
To maintain transparency and integrity, JAMB has enlisted external specialists, including members of the Computer Professionals Association of Nigeria, university vice chancellors, heads of tertiary institutions, educational research networks, and measurement experts, to aid in the ongoing evaluation.
