Posted 6 months ago at 8:01 pm on Monday, May 12, 2025 by SchoolOverFlow
The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has announced a review of the 2025 UTME results after thousands of candidates complained about unexpectedly low scores.
What Prompted the Review:
- Massive backlash on social media with the hashtag #thisisnotmyresult
- Widespread complaints about blank questions and technical errors during the exams
- Allegations that the results do not reflect actual performance
Steps JAMB Is Taking:
- Full review of registration, examination, and result processing stages
- Collaboration with experts, university heads, testing specialists, and educational bodies
- Special focus on exam dates: 24th, 25th, 26th, and 28th April 2025
Possible Actions If Errors Are Confirmed:
- Adjusting affected results
- Rescheduling exams for affected candidates
- Publishing detailed mark sheets for transparency
Legal Push by Candidates:
Over 11,000 students are preparing to take legal action, demanding full transparency. A group led by Alex Onyia of Educare is collecting cases to press for urgent JAMB reforms.
Past UTME Trends vs 2025 Figures:
- 2025: 78% scored below 200
- 2024: 76% scored below 200
- 2022: 78% scored below 200
- 2021: Only 0.06% scored above 300
Despite similar patterns, students insist this yearโs issues are different and deserve a proper investigation.
What You Should Do:
If you believe your result is affected, stay alert for further announcements from JAMB and prepare any evidence of irregularities. The board says it will act quickly to ensure fairness
