JAMB has announced the release of the results of additional 36,540 candidates who sat the recently concluded 2024 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) that were previously withheld. The total results released now now stands at 1,879,437, according to a statement by the JAMB Spokesperson, Fabian Benjamin.
It was also disclosed that 26,000 UTME results are still being withheld and under investigation over possible examination misconduct. Fabian stated that at the end of the investigation exercise, the board will publish its findings. We advise candidates whose results were previously with held to check if it has been released.

Meanwhile, the examination body has disclaimed reports that the outstanding 2024 UTME results had been compromised due to a cybersecurity breach.
The statement reads in part: “The attention of the Board was drawn to a fictitious letter concocted by a fraudster and circulated on social media purporting to emanate from the Board stating that the outstanding 2024 UTME results, currently being subjected to intense scrutiny by its team of experts, had been compromised on account of a cyber security breach and that it is considering rescheduling the examination.
“This is far from the truth as the said letter did not emanate from the Board. In fact, a closer look at the letter, which was not signed by any person, lacked every ingredient of a letter from the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board. The letter is, therefore, from those, who wish to destroy the integrity of the Board, by compromising its unassailable operational processes to mislead hapless candidates with the sole aim of extorting them.”
