The Joint Admission and Matriculation Board (JAMB) released yesterday [Apr. 17] the result of the 2014 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) conducted on Paper Pencil Test (PPT) and Dual Based Test (DBT). Of the over one million (1,015,504) candidates who registered for the exam last Saturday, only 47 scored 250 and above JAMB Registrar Prof. Dibu Ojerinde, who announced the result in Abuja, disclosed that 2, 494 results were being withheld.


In all, 990,179 registered for PPT; 325 registered for DBT, bringing the total number to 1, 015, 504. According to Ojerinde, 23 schools in Abia, Rivers, Ebonyi and Imo states were involved in extortion of money from candidates and widespread cheating. The money collected ranged from N500 to N1000. The money collected from the students will be refunded to them.

Over a dozen telephone handsets and irregular answer sheets among others were found on candidates.
Ojerinde said a doctor who works at Gumel General Hospital in Gumel LGA Area, Jigawa State, who was caught writing the UTME for his wife, will be reported to the Medical Association (NIMA) and “he may lose his certificate”.
