The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has ruled out the possibility of candidates using their earlier Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) scores in place of results from the recent r-esit.
JAMB’s Public Communication Adviser, Fabian Benjamin, told newsmen on Monday that the initial results have been voided, and only the re-sit scores will be recognized.
The re-sit followed widespread outcry over technical and human errors that marred the original examination, prompting the board to conduct another exam for 379,000 affected candidates in Lagos and Southeast states.
JAMB maintained that the new results reflect a fairer assessment of candidates’ performance after correcting initial lapses.
