Jamb Reschedules Exams After Tech Glitch Mayhem

JAMB has rescheduled exams for candidates who faced technical glitches during their exams, reassuring them that they will receive new dates and centers via SMS. Candidates are advised to visit an approved CBT center to reprint their examination slips, which will indicate their rescheduled exam details. Despite concerns, JAMB has emphasized that no one gains admission without sitting for the exam. Discussions among candidates and their families have included sharing experiences and concerns about the rescheduled exams.

In the wake of technical glitches that marred the 2024 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME), the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has announced that it will be rescheduling the exams for affected candidates. This decision comes as a relief to many candidates who were unable to take their exams due to technical issues at various centers across the country.

JAMB’s spokesperson, Dr. Fabian Benjamin, issued a statement on 2024-04-19, reassuring candidates that no one would be denied the right to take the exam due to the technical problems. The Board has advised candidates who were unable to sit for their exams to remain calm, as they will be officially communicated via SMS and their profiles regarding the rescheduling. Candidates will need to reprint their examination slips, which will indicate their new centers, dates, and times.

This move by JAMB reflects the organization’s commitment to ensuring that all candidates have a fair opportunity to take their exams, despite the challenges posed by the technical glitches. The Board’s technical team is working around the clock to resolve the issues and ensure a smooth experience for candidates in their rescheduled exams.

It is important for candidates to stay updated through official JAMB channels and their profiles to get the latest information on their rescheduled exams. By doing so, they can avoid any confusion and ensure they are prepared for their new exam dates.
