Ishaq Oloyede, the registrar of JAMB, had on Friday, May 10 disclosed that 379,997 candidates were affected, 206,610 across 65 centres in Lagos and 173,387 in 92 centres in the south-eastern states.
JAMB said the glitches necessitated rescheduling the examination, acknowledging lapses in its system.
The board’s registrar publicly accepted responsibility and even broke down in tears while announcing a makeup exam for the affected candidates.
Out of the 1,955,069 candidates who took the original UTME, more than 1.5 million scored below 200 marks out of a possible 400, fueling concern over the fairness and credibility of the examination.
