The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has released the results of the 2021 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) which was conducted between June 19 and June 22.
JAMB’s spokesman, Fabian Benjamin, announced the release of the 2021 UTME results on Friday in Abuja.
Accoding to him, the use of the National Identification Number (NIN) was helpful in curbing malpractices during the exercise, and explained that the board was happy over the smooth conduct of the examination, explaining that
“The Board notes with satisfaction that the utilisation of NIN (National Identification Number) has helped in curbing examination malpractices as the 2021 UTME has recorded the least incidence of irregularities since the inception of the CBT examinations in Nigeria,” the statement added.
“Nevertheless, the Board would still review all the CCTV footages and other technical gadgets for detection of possible examination misconducts.”
Some candidate’s results, were, however, been withheld with the examination body for investigation.
