The Joint Admissions and Matriculation
Board has withheld the results of 80,419 candidates among those that sat
for the last Saturday’s 2013 Unified Tertiary Matriculation
Examination.
Of this figure, 12,110 candidates’
results “are withheld for a possible disciplinary action” while 68,309
results “from various centres are still
undergoing further screening,”
JAMB Registrar/Chief Executive, Prof. Dibu Ojerinde, said on Friday
during the official release of the results.
“About 40,692 results were invalid due to multiple shading or no shading at all,” he stated.
Ojerinde, who addressed journalists at
the examination body’s National Headquarters, Bwari, Abuja, said the
irregularities were discovered after processing the answer scripts.
He lamented that candidates had changed
their style of perpetrating examination malpractices from wearing ‘magic
slippers,’ to wearing “long sleeve shirts that bore imprint of prepared
answers.”
