About 76.2 per cent of the 1,792,719 candidates who sat for the 2019 Unified Tertiary Matriculations Examination(UTME) scored below 50 per cent.



Professor Ishaq Oloyede, registrar of the Joint Admission and Matriculation Board(JAMB) made the revelation when he released the results of the examination held over five days in April.

According to Oloyede: “361,718 candidates scored between 180 and 199 as against 325,152 in 2018, while 494,484 scored between 160 and 179 as against 455,898 last year.

“410,844 candidates scored between 140 and 159 as against 346,825 recorded in 2018 while also 99,463 scored between 100 and 139 as against 64,712 in 2018.”
In all 1,366,509 candidates scored below 59 percent.

Oloyede said results for 49,265 candidates are being withheld by the JAMB. He said 34,120 candidates had their results withheld for examination malpractice and 15,145 results were withheld for further clarification.

In all 2,906 candidates scored over 300 as against 4,683 in 2018 and 57,579 candidates scored between 250 and 299 as against 64,120 in the 2018 results.

Oloyede said 366,757 candidates also scored between 200 and 249, which is a significant improvement from the 2018 results.

More depressed people loading...

A lot of students had issues with the last Jamb exam. There were quite a number of complaints about inadequate writing materials, issues with the computers and CBT centres and so on.

It seems Jamb and Professor Oloyede are more focused on the accolades that come from remitting excess funds to the government's coffers to the detriment of improving the exam process for the students. If over seventy percent of students who wrote the exam across the country failed, then Jamb should take a long hard look at itself.
