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.
