JAMB Speaks On Conducting Fresh UTME 2022 Exams Over Error In JAMB Result

  • JAMB has disclosed its stand on conducting fresh UTME 2022 Exams over errors in JAMB Result 2022

  • …the board was, maintains that the UTME was a Computer Based Test (CBT) that was scored electronically with no human mediation whatsoever.

EDITOR’S PICK: 

EKO HOT BLOG reports that the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board, JAMB, has said there is no error in its scoring system with regard to the 2022 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination.

The board warned the public especially candidates of the last UTME to be wary of the guile and other unsavoury activities of fraudsters who were making false claims of errors in the scoring system.

Dr Fabian Benjamin, Head, Public Affairs and Protocol of the board made this known in a statement made available to newsmen in Abuja on Tuesday.

Benjamin said that the board was, therefore, maintaining for the umpteenth time, that the UTME was a Computer Based Test (CBT) that was scored electronically with no human mediation whatsoever.

“Consequently, the unfounded rumours making the rounds are nothing but the products of the deceitful brains of the masterminds of these baseless imputations.

“Hence, the board reiterates that there is no room for errors in its electronic scoring system nor does it plan to organise another UTME.

“This clarification became necessary following reports of a purported rescheduling of the UTME from a section of the social media citing phantom errors in the computer scoring system and a purported apology from JAMB to the effect that another UTME would be organised.

“The board wishes to state that the report is not only false, mischievous but also misleading and crafted out of the frustration and inability of these fraudsters to dupe unsuspecting candidates owing to the series of innovative strategies the board had put in place to protect candidates,” he said.

Benjamin also recalled that the board had envisaged some of the strategies of these nefarious individuals and had sounded a note of warning to the candidates and the general public alike.

This is to preclude the possibility of them falling victims to the evil machinations of fraudsters.

FURTHER READING:

“JAMB, once again, advises the general public to disregard this item of news as it does not emanate from JAMB nor has it authorised any individual or group to make such a pronouncement on its behalf.

“The board, therefore, advises candidates to avail themselves of its user-friendly advisories on assessing their 2022 UTME results and other processes through periodic visits to www.jamb.gov.ng.
