Oloyede said the meeting candidates approved the cancellation of the results of 1,386 candidates for examination

He added that these candidates would not be allowed to rewrite the examination.

The JAMB registrar said: “The meeting approved the cancellation of the results of 1,386 individual candidates found culpable of examination malpractice. The cancellation of results of 57,646 in centres-induced malpractice. The cancellation of the two results of the 666 candidates engaged in multiple examinations.

“The meeting also agreed on the rescheduling of examination for candidates of centres with mass malpractice, but who are deemed innocent, biometric non-verification machine related issues, late registration, four lost sessions in three centres due to malfunctioning of three servers at the centre and incomplete results.”

According to him, the meeting also approved the delisting of 48 computer based test centres from participating in JAMB examination because of various infractions.

The 62,140 cancelled results include 57,646 candidates in centres-induced malpractice, 3,811 late registration, and 683 candidates who had biometric challenges.

“The meeting approved the suspension of 24 computer based test centres for one year due to technical issues. These centres would not participate in the 2018 unified tertiary matriculation examination but they can be reconsidered for 2019 and above.

The delisting of 48 centres from participating in the board’s examination in future as a result of serious technical deficiencies, extortion, organised examination malpractices and other damaging infractions,” he added.

10 Things That Happened During 2017 UTME Examination

Just like joke, 2017 jamb commenced, almost all candidates have seen their results, some with higher grades which is 201 to 400, some with average points which is 180 to 200 and some with lower grades which is below 180 lol.

However, 2017 UTME examination was full of fun, controversies, funny but critical conditions, let's review 10 things that happened during 2017 UTME examination

1. Candidates unable to generate pin during registrations, this caused a lot of chaos at some CBT centers which resulted into candidates exchanging dirty words or exchanging blows, in some states candidates beat the hell out of security officers, it's quite funny when seeing photos of Jambites at cbt centers unable to generate pin.

2. Exam slip re-print, though its funny, its still under critical conditions, JAMB had earlier promised candidates that they will receive their examination slip through their email, it failed due to how slow jamb was, candidates started running to cbt centers to re-print their slip, if you are there you will witness so many situations that will make you want to crack your ribs..

3. Jambites who sat for their exam on the first day were unable to check their results till tuesday, some them were already panicking, if you get close to those candidates, you will see how funny they look.

4. Jambites scheduled to sit for their exam at LAUTECH ogbomoso were unable to sit for their exam due to lautech strike, some of them were chased out of the CBT center, their appearance alone will make you laugh out loud, but under such conditions you will pity them..

5. CBT center in  lagos shut down systems before the actual ending period of exam, the invigilators at the CBT center told candidates to go home. One of the candidates said she was the last person on roll, she just typed her Registration number when the systems were shut down..

6. Candidate brought gun to the examination venue, this quite funny, is he going for war or for an exam? gun at the examination hall, the candidate just forfeited his right to sit for the exam, too bad..

7. Jamb deduct 100marks from candidates score, if you read the message that was sent from jamb to candidates, it looks like it's fraud because there were too many errors in the text message, though it indicated that jamb was the sender, on seeing this, candidates started panicking, jamb later debunked the rumor..

8. 11 people arrested for trying to hack jamb's portal in order to copy questions, solve it and use the same portal to upload answers through their client's registration number. their clients/candidates on getting to the exam hall, they will type their registration number, the answers will be uploaded already, they will just have to review their work and submit without doing any thing at the center, but the hackers failed, though they were not the only ones doing it.

9. Jamb to add extra 40 marks to candidates scores, candidates that failed 2017 jamb tried to give themselves hope by circulating fake news of extra 40 marks, jamb later debunked the rumor, some of them started crying..

10. Candidates who scored below 180 started hoping for miracles, those candidates were also looking for schools that will accept their score. Imagine, someone who scored 110 in  jamb asking which school will accept that kind of result or which course he can study with that score, you can just tell the person to go for SUNDAY SCHOOL and study NATIVE DOCTORS. abi? na only God fit accept us no matter how poor and dumb we are...

JAMB 2017: Why The Results Of Some Candidates Will Be Witheld – Registrar

Joint Admission and Matriculation Board on Thursday states that the results of candidates identified in footages of Close Circuit Television (CCTV) to have indulged in unwholesome practices during the just-concluded Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) won't be released.

Registar of JAMB, Ishaq Oloyede, who spoke on Channels Television Sunrise Daily said the agency had been busy in the past days reviewing recorded footages of the examination across the country, and that a number of candidates had been marked out for sanction.

Oloyede, was responding to a question by one of the anchors of the programme on why some candidates were yet to receive their results despite promises by JAMB to release outcomes within 24 hours.

The registrar said, “Those who have not received (their results) are qualified not to receive for now. In all cases where there were no problems, we released results of the examination within 24 hours.

“But those who have not (received their results), they may not be culpable but we are investigating. Where we have reason to doubt anything or where we have report of anything that is not acceptable to us, we have withheld the results.

“And we will keep on releasing them as we clear them. For instance, this morning, we released another 15,000 results. But among those who sat in that centre, we have reasons, concrete evidence to say about 300 of them, their results will not be released because we know they were not in the hall where the examination took place.

“We are comparing those who sat for the examination, how long they sat in the hall, and how some of them took excuses that they were going to the toilet only to go to what they called VIP…

“All this we are now able to track. And we want to say that we will not hesitate to sanction anybody no matter how highly placed.”

Mr. Oloyede said the CCTV cameras deployed at every Computer Based Test (CBT) centres across the country helped JAMB to detect and arrest unwholesome practices.

He said some centre operators however tried to sabotage his agency’s plan to make the examination fraud-free, citing the example of a centre in Kubwa, Abuja, where operators blinded the cameras with sacks to frustrate remote detection of malpractices that happened there.

The JAMB registrar appealed to credible organisations and individuals to come forward to partner JAMB in the establishment of reputable CBT centres across the country.

“Crooks are now establishing CBT centres, and meeting our requirements only to misuse the opportunities,” he said.
