At last, the Joint Admissions and
Matriculation Board (JAMB) has
finally released the results earlier
withheld over what it described as
non-biometric verification. Also, 91,610 candidates will commence
the Unified Tertiary Matriculation
Examination (UTME) Computer Based
Test (CBT) in the seven designated
centres from Saturday... The scheduled computer-based test
will hold from May 18 till June 1, 2013,
in over 70 centres. Candidates are
thus advised to reprint their e-
Registration slips afresh to further
ascertain their CBT centres. Registrar and Chief Executive of
JAMB, Professor ‘Dibu Ojerinde,
while announcing the release of the
results of the paper-pencil test and
dual-based test across the nation
and two foreign centres, said the CBT will take place in Nigeria and
other countries namely Saudi Arabia,
United Kingdom and South Africa. Ojerinde who had said over 80,419
results of the candidates were
withheld for various reasons, noted
that out of this figure, results of
68,309 candidates from various
centres were undergoing further screening to ascertain their
culpability, while results of 12,110
candidates had been withheld for
possible disciplinary action But those whose results were
withheld over lack of bio-metric
verification are lucky, as theirs have
now been released. They can go to
the JAMB designated website to
check their results. It would be recalled that some of the
candidates, who could not be verified
as the biometric could not show their
finger print on the day of the
examination were listed by the
invigilators in the affected examination centres and forwarded
to JAMB head-office, Abuja, for
scrutiny.
