The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has officially released the results of candidates who took part in the 2025 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) rescheduled exams.
In a statement issued by its spokesperson, Dr. Fabian Benjamin, JAMB said a total of 336,845 candidates were scheduled for the resit, out of which 21,082 were absent.
The resit was arranged following issues at some examination centres during the initial UTME. These centres were removed, and affected candidates were rescheduled for the fresh exams.
JAMB also announced the release of withheld results for certain categories of candidates. These include underage candidates (except those in court cases), those who performed below standard, and those involved in “WhatsApp Runs” and other examination misconduct.
While JAMB clarified that releasing the results does not mean these candidates are eligible for admission, it noted that this move is part of a “healing process.” Candidates had previously signed undertakings stating that only those who met the required standards would be admitted.
The Board further stressed that those involved in cheating through social media platforms are being given a one-time waiver but warned against future violations. It reiterated that this does not excuse bad behaviour.
All results have now been released, except those of candidates still under investigation for serious infractions or those awaiting mop-up exams. Some results already released have also been withdrawn following new findings by security agencies.
Candidates are advised not to repeatedly check their results if they were previously released. Those affected by result withdrawal will be notified via SMS, email, and their JAMB profiles.
JAMB also addressed the rumour about SMS charges, saying that it does not profit from the ₦50 cost of checking results via 55019 or 66019. The SMS system is aimed at protecting candidates’ information and preventing cybercafé fraud.
