The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has reacted to a viral claim that a candidate scored 394 in the Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME).
The claim circulated widely on social media. It included a screenshot allegedly showing the high score. The post quickly attracted public attention and debate.
In its response, JAMB said the screenshot was not consistent with its official result format. The examination body urged candidates and the public to verify results through its official channels.
JAMB explained that UTME results are released through its designated platforms. These include the official portal and SMS verification system. It warned against relying on unverified online content.
The board did not confirm the existence of any candidate with such a score. It also did not release specific details about the viral case.
JAMB reaffirmed its commitment to transparency. It said all authentic results can be independently verified through its official systems.
