The results of the 2017 Supplementary Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) which was conducted on July 1 have been released by Joint Admission and Matriculation Board (JAMB). According to Premiumtimes, an official of the Board who confirmed the release disclosed that a total number of 85, 000 candidates were given the opportunity to rewrite the supplementary examination due to problems associated with registration.
The official however reiterated the decision of the Board not to conduct supplimentary examination for candidates who reported late for the mop-up exercise.
"There is nothing you can do … we placed adverts in newspapers, sent e-mails and text messages and if you did not get it, it means that you were not invited for the exam. A bulk Short Message Service (SMS) was equally sent to your telephone numbers that you provided during the registration".
“We will not reschedule the exam for people who came late,”
