Standup9ja: We’re set for supplementary UTME – JAMB
The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) on
Thursday said it had concluded arrangements for its supplementary 2017 Unified
Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME).
NAN reports that results of the examination which earlier
took place from May 13 to May 20 have since been released.
JAMB, on Wednesday June 14, also announced the cancellation
of results of no fewer than 50,000 candidates over examination malpractice and
other alleged infractions
“The board is using the opportunity to charge affected
candidates for the rescheduled examination not to panic, as text messages will
be sent to their telephones, with which they used in registering for the
examination, to the effect of their qualification.
“There is really nothing to be afraid of or worried about.
To this effect therefore, they should be expecting such notification before 12
midnight of Thursday, June 15.
“Messages will also be sent to their e-mail addresses. Their
profile will also contain the information as it had been updated.
“In the same vein, all candidates whose results had been
cancelled outrightly following their involvement in examination irregularities
will also be notified through their e-mails, text messages as well as their
profiles.
“This set of candidates is not eligible for the
supplementary examination,” Benjamin said.
According to Benjamin, candidates for the rescheduled
examination will also be notified on the date and venue on or before Monday,
June 19.
He said that candidates could check their result status to
avoid being extorted by fraudsters who might want to seize the opportunity to
exploit them.
Benjamin noted that the examination body was taking extra
steps to contact all rescheduled candidates for the examination to prevent them
from falling prey to fraudulent persons.
“This rescheduled examination became necessary to ensure
that no innocent candidate is unjustly punished,” Benjamin said. (NAN)
