A Nigerian family has raised serious concerns about the integrity of JAMB's UTME results after allegedly witnessing a dramatic overnight score change. The controversy erupted when a candidate's result reportedly jumped from 157 to 257 without explanation.
The startling claim was shared on social media platform X (formerly Twitter), where the candidate's sister expressed outrage at the unexplained alteration. "JAMB is stupid sha. I checked my brother's result yesterday and it was 157, which is insane. My mom checked this morning, and his score is 257," the post read.
This incident adds to growing complaints from candidates nationwide who claim their 2024 UTME scores don't match their expectations or mock exam performances. Many are demanding transparency from JAMB, calling for the release of marking schemes and clearer explanations of the grading process.
Education analysts note this isn't the first time JAMB has faced such allegations. In 2023, similar claims of result discrepancies surfaced, though the board attributed most cases to technical glitches during result checking.
As public scrutiny intensifies, pressure mounts on JAMB to address these concerns. The examination body has yet to issue an official statement regarding this specific case, leaving many questioning the reliability of Nigeria's premier university entrance examination system.
