On Sunday, May 20, 2018, the Head of Media, Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB), Dr. Fabian Benjamin, said that matriculation examinations (UTME) for more than 12,000 candidates have been rescheduled for May 26.
This category of candidates, he explained, are those whose biometrics were not captured during the initial period of the UTME in March.
He said: “It would also include those, who are yet to see their results since the end of the examinations in March till date and have not been involved in any form of malpractice.
“It will also include those, who were unable to print out their e-slip before the earlier examinations and those whose centres were cancelled for suspected malpractices.
“There are centres that were cancelled because of suspicious activities but the board was unable to
identify the actual culprits”.
He further stated that those, who were involved and caught in illicit acts and centres where a case of malpractice has been established against them would not partake in the rescheduled examinations and advised candidates, who might have fallen into any of the categories qualified for the examination to print their e-slips from Monday, May 21.
