For those wondering what will happen to candidates who missed the 2016 UTME, JAMB authorities have a plan for them. This message goes out to all candidates who missed the Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination due to reasons caused by JAMB.
According to the Registrar of JAMB, Prof. Dibu Ojerinde candidates who had system failure during the examination can be assured that they would retake it, if the board finds their complaint to be genuine. Also, those whose relocation affected them in missing their examination would have a redress.
JAMB has granted another chance for candidates who missed UTME to retake exam – 2016
In his words, “We relocated about 59, 000 candidates due to the problems in various centres which vary from town to town. There are about 59,000 of them spread across 15 states of the federation.
“Those that were relocated never suffered any setback or inconvenience. For all these two sets of people, I want to apologise sincerely for what happened to them, but we are going to put on a redress for those whose relocation affected them in missing their examination.”
Plans For Rewriting 2016 UTME Does Not Concern Candidates Who Missed Deliberately
