– The update reaching us as JAMB has fixed 1st July for 62,140 Candidates to Rewrite the 2017
UTME. The previous results of these candidates have therefore been cancelled. This was confirmed
by The registrar of JAMB, Ishaq Oloyede, at a press briefing after the board’s management meeting
in Abuja. It is reported that the 62,140 candidates to rewrite the exam include 57,646 candidates in
centres-induced malpractice, 3,811 late registration, and 683 candidates who had biometric
challenges. He also explained that the rescheduled examination was also for candidates of centres
with mass malpractice, but the candidates were deemed innocent.
48 centres have therefore been banned from conducting any future JAMB exam, as a result of gross
technical deficiencies, extortion from candidates, organised examination malpractice and other
damaging infractions, as concluded by JAMB. 24 other centres were suspended from next year’s
JAMB for not meeting expectations required for the success of the exam in their centres. We believe
the candidates to re-write their exams will be duly notified via email, and may be required to reprint
their JAMB Exam Slip in due time. Congrats to all those who now have their results, as we await the
2017/2018 Admission Screening Process.
