We are addressing ‘unusual complaints’ over 2025 UTME results – JAMB

The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) on Monday officially addressed public concerns regarding the recently released 2025 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) results.
The Board referred to the concerns as “unusual complaints,” noting that they originated from only a handful of states across the country. While acknowledging the feedback, JAMB stated that it is expediting its annual system review in response to the situation.
“In response, the Board is fast forwarding its annual system review—a comprehensive post-mortem of the examination process that is conducted each year months after the exercise,” The spokesperson of the Board, Fabian Benjamin said in a statement.
The Board’s annual review encompasses three key stages: registration, examination, and result release. During the examination phase, JAMB ensures that every candidate is afforded the opportunity to sit for the test.
Should any technical issues arise, the Board reschedules the examination for affected candidates without hesitation, the statement noted.
“We are particularly concerned about the unusual complaints originating from a few states within the Federation. We are currently scrutinising these complaints in detail to identify and rectify any potential technical issues.
“To assist in this process, we have engaged a number of experts, including members from the Computer Professionals Association of Nigeria, Chief External Examiners, who are heads of tertiary institutions, the Educational Assessment and Research Network in Africa, measurement experts, and Vice Chancellors from various institutions. If it is determined that there were indeed glitches, we will implement appropriate remedial measures promptly, as we do in the case of the examinations themselves.”
