The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board, JAMB, has officially cancelled the results of 59,698 candidates over examination malpractices.
JAMB’s Registrar, Prof. Is-haq Oloyede, disclosed this at a news conference of an enlarged meeting with external examiners and other stakeholders in the conduct of the 2017 UTME yesterday in Abuja.
According to him, 1,386 candidates have their results cancelled over examination malpractice; 57,646 results were also affected as a result of centres-induced malpractices while the results of 666 candidates were cancelled due to multiple examinations.
According to Oloyede, there may be a second chance for some of the candidates to seat for a supplementary UTME, especially for those deemed innocent of centre-induced exam cheating.
He added that the Supplementary exam will take place on the1st of July, mostly for candidates who registered late for this year’s UTME, while some of the candidates whose results were cancelled, would also take part in the rescheduled exam.
