BREAKING: JAMB Releases 3,921 More Exam Results, Reschedules Exams

The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) announced on Sunday that the 2024 Direct Entry (DE) registration will now close on Monday, June 17, 2024.

To accommodate the increased number of prospective DE candidates, JAMB has expanded DE registration points beyond the Professional Registration Centres (PRCs) in states experiencing high demand.

This decision follows numerous requests and pleas from stakeholders and authorities over the past month for an extension.

JAMB spokesperson Fabian Benjamin, in a statement on Sunday, listed centres in affected states as follows:

**Lagos State:** JAMB PRC, Ojora Road, Ikoyi Lagos; JAMB PRC, Isheri Road, Ogba; ETC Nig. JKK House, Ikorodu Road, Ilupeju.

**Oyo State:** JAMB PTC, JAMB Zonal Office, Agodi G.R.A, Ibadan; FCE Special, CBT Centre, Oyo; and JAMB PTC, Igboho.

**Kwara State:** JAMB PTC, National Headquarters Annex, Old Jebba Road, Ilorin, Kwara State; University of Ilorin CBT Centre, Mini Campus.

**Osun State:** JAMB PTC, Alekuwodo; OSPDC, Oroki Estate, Ilobu Road, Osogbo, Osun State; JAMB PTC, Gbongon.

The Board urged all eligible candidates to take advantage of this opportunity to register, as no further extension would be granted. The previously announced criteria for DE registration remain unchanged.

Regarding the Kwasu Diploma, the Board stated, “Having held high-stake meetings with the principal officers of the Kwara State College of Arabic and Islamic Legal Studies (CAILS) and the Kwara State University (KWASU), on the CAILS-KWASU Diploma program, the Board has agreed to conduct a special registration exercise for the 3,633 prospective candidates who did not participate in the 2024 UTME based on the assumption that they would be accommodated in the 2024 DE exercise.

“These candidates are to register at any of the approved CBT centres in Kwara, Oyo, or Osun State within the next week (ending on Monday, June 10, 2024) to register for the UTME.”

“469 others among this category of UTME candidates who had already taken the 2024 UTME need not retake the examination. The one they have already taken suffices.”

This concession aims to maintain standards while supporting and promoting the aspirations of qualified and willing candidates.

The Board also announced a supplementary 2024 UTME scheduled for Saturday, June 22, 2024, for the following candidates: CAILS-KWASU candidates, some (20,550) candidates whose results are still under investigation, and 2,702 candidates whose fingers could not be verified. These candidates are given the benefit of the doubt to sit the 2024 UTME.

JAMB added, “The remaining 322 candidates have been migrated to the category of candidates under examination misconduct, as a prima facie case has been established that those who had registered were not those who appeared for the examination. Consequently, the number of examination misconducts has increased by 322 to 43.”

Additionally, JAMB has rescheduled a retake for 24,535 candidates in their chosen examination towns on Saturday, June 22, 2024, due to substantial non-compliance with the Board’s standards at some centres.

The statement added that 3,921 outstanding 2024 UTME results that had been cleared have now been released.

It urged concerned candidates to check their results by sending RESULT to 55019 or 66019 to ascertain their status. Cleared candidates will receive their results, while those rescheduled will be informed of their new examination date.

“The rescheduled candidates are to print their supplementary Examination Notification Slip from Tuesday, June 4, 2024, to ascertain their designated examination centres.”

“This release brings the total results released to 1,883,350. The rescheduled examination, taking place on Saturday, June 22, 2024, is to give affected candidates adequate time to prepare.”

“This notice does not concern candidates whose results have been released. Candidates with prima facie cases of examination misconduct will be further interrogated to establish their culpability, after which appropriate measures will be taken,” the statement concluded.
