JAMB 2013 result is out!!!

     The Joint Admissions and
Matriculation Board (JAMB) has
released the 2013 Unified Tertiary
Matriculation Examination (UTME)
results.
    The board, however, withheld
12,110 results for possible
disciplinary action. The Registrar of JAMB, Prof. Dibu Ojerinde, announced this at a news conference on the release of the results in Bwari, FCT, on Friday.
    The registrar said after thorough processing of answer scripts of the candidates who sat for the examination, the board discovered some forms of malpractice perpetuated during the conduct of the examination.
    “However, the results of 68,309
candidates from various centres are undergoing further screening to ascertain the culpability of 12,110 candidates’ results.“
    A total of 1,629,102 candidates
applied to sit for the Paper Pencil
Test (PPT), while 15,008 candidates
applied for the Dual Based Test, bringing the number of candidates to 1,644,110.
    “The general performance of
candidates in this year’s examination shows remarkable improvement compared with last
year.
    “Ten candidates scored 300 marks and above, while 127,017
candidates scored between 1-159
marks.
    “About 40,692 candidates’ results were invalid due to either multiple shading or no shading at all.  After processing all the results, the board also discovered that about 47,974 candidates were absent.“
    The registrar assured the candidates that their results could be accessed on the JAMB Website:
www.myjambresult.com using their registration numbers.
    He said about 40 centres would be screened to ascertain their culpability and warned the public against Internet fraudsters.
    “Information reaching JAMB shows Internet fraudsters are already telling candidates that their results could be upgraded in one form or the other. “
    This is pure deceit, the public and candidates are hereby advised to disregard these fraudsters since they do not have access to our data.
    “Let me once again state that
candidates are allowed to change
their choices of institutions and
courses once only, this change has
to be effected within two weeks from today. “ Ojerinde said the Computer Based Test (CBT) is scheduled to take place from May 18 to June 1 and appealed to candidates to reprint their e- registration slips afresh to further ascertain their CBT centres. (NAN).
