“JAMB has NOT scrapped Awaiting result for prospective candidates for the forthcoming exam.

The Joint Admission and Matriculation
Board (JAMB), has sought to clarify their
new rule on prospective candidates
awaiting results.

Initial reports seem to suggest that the
examination body had barred candidates
without their Ordinary Level results from
sitting for the UTME exams.
However, JAMB stated on its Twitter page
on Wednesday, that candidates who were
awaiting results must have gotten their
results at the point of admission into their
institution.

The update read: “JAMB has NOT scrapped
Awaiting result for prospective candidates
for the forthcoming exam.

“Candidates with Awaiting results can
apply. But they must have gotten their
results at the point of admission into their
institution.

“If you apply with Awaiting Result at the
point of registration, your result must be
available while u go for screening for
admission.

“JAMB will not deny any Candidate the right
to quality education. Please don’t be
misguided. Part of the press statement was
misunderstood

“That is why during registration those with
results will be uploading their results,while
Awaiting Result candidates will not upload
anything.”
