Meanwhile, the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board reported that a significant number of candidates, totaling 1,402,490 out of 1,842,464, failed to attain the minimum score of 200 out of 400.
The board, led by its registrar, Prof. Ishaq Oloyede, clarified that the UTME primarily serves as a ranking examination and thus refrains from disclosing the identities of the highest-scoring candidates.
Furthermore, the board cautioned against the presentation of printed result slips, as the results are currently exclusively available in digital format.
