The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has acknowledged making errors that negatively affected candidates’ performance in the 2025 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME).
This admission was made by the Board’s Registrar, Prof. Ishaq Oloyede, during a press briefing held on Wednesday in Abuja.
Oloyede stated that, “What should have been a moment of joy has changed due to one or two errors.”
The Daily Reality reports that this comes amid growing concern over the mass failure recorded in the 2025 UTME.
It was gathered that out of the 1.9 million candidates who took the examination, more than 1.5 million reportedly scored below 200 out of a possible 400 marks—representing over 75 per cent of all candidates.
Some affected candidates have expressed intentions to take legal action against the Board.
