The result of 312,000 candidates that sat for Saturday’s (UTME) 2020 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination nationwide have been released by the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB).

Dr. Fabian Benjamin who is Board’s Head, Media and Information disclosed to Journalist Monday in Lagos.

He urged all concerned candidates to check their profiles for their results.

According to him, the board is optimistic that the entire exercise will be hitch-free as it has worked assiduously to ensure that this year’s examination process will be one of the best ever conducted in recent times.

“The Board is happy with the conduct of the examination on its first day March, 14th but this is not to say that we did not register one or two technical hitches.

“There is no way anyone can embark on such massive exercise without a few hitches but however, the good thing is that as soon as our attention is drawn to such, we correct it.

“So, the Board is fully on ground to take on these hitches as they come, but in all, I must tell you that we are happy with the conduct of the examination so far.”

Benjamin assured that the Board would continue to ensure quality service delivery in a bid to give every deserving candidate an opportunity to excel.

Switch Nigeria reports that, in continuation of the exercise, a total of 469, 670 candidates on Monday sat for the examination in various centres across the country.

Dr.Benjamin, the JAMB head of media and information said by Tuesday, March 17th, such candidate’s results would also be ready for check.
