The Joint Admission and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has released about 895, 000 results of candidates who sat for the Computer Based Test (CBT) 2015 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examinations.

The Registrar of JAMB Prof. Dibu Ojerinde said this on Thursday in Abuja during the inspection of proceedings of exams at designated centres by the Minister of States for Education, Prof. Viola Onwuliri.

Ojerinde said the 895, 000 results released does not equals the amount of results collected because some candidates who are yet to get their results may have given JAMB wrong phone numbers.

“The results are already on the net (website) for those who have written the exams. They should use their registration number and log on to the JAMB website and get the result, but the results that are not ready cannot be joined with the available ones,” he said.

The Registrar explained that the board has resolved the challenges faced earlier and that they are now stabilized to carry on in the next 11 days.

He said: “We hope to have less days next year because Mr. President is building centres in all states of the federation particularly in the local governments which will be ready for use next year.”

While inspecting the conduct of the examination at Chamscity and NIIT centres in Abuja, Prof. Onwuliri said she was impressed with the CBT examination which makes result available two hours after the candidate finishes his or her exams and by so doing remove obstacles around marking and grading of the exam results.

She noted that the CBT is part of government efforts to make Nigeria part of the global community and achieving excellence in education in terms of access and quality.
