Some candidates who participated in the recently rescheduled 2025 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination, UTME, have taken to X to share testimonies of their new scores in the examination.
News360 Info reported that the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board, JAMB, on Sunday released the results of the recently rescheduled 2025 UTME.
JAMB shared the statement announcing the release of the results on its official X account.
News360 Info reports that about 379,000 candidates sat the rescheduled UTME.
The development came after widespread public outcry over mass failure during the initial UTME.
Recall that the examination board had claimed that over 1.5 million out of the 1.9 million candidates who sat for the 2025 UTME scored below 200 marks out of a possible 400.
The disclosure prompted widespread concern among stakeholders.
However, JAMB later admitted to technical and human errors and said that the development negatively affected candidates’ performance.
Sharing a result of one of the candidates via official X handle @winexviv, Alex Onyia, chief executive officer at EDUCARE, stated that students have been vindicated.
Onyia disclosed that an unnamed candidate who had gotten 170 in the initial exam now scored 301 in the rescheduled 2025 UTME.
“This is the first JAMB resit result I woke up with. This youngster was wrongly graded 170 due to the error and now 301 in just 48 hours of preparation.
“Finally, our students have been vindicated,” Onyia said
Reacting, David Busola posted: “Yes oooooo! I am soooo happy!! My daughter scored 302 in the resit exam!!! All glory to God! Thank you @winexviv”.

Another candidate with the name Ezubelu Valentine @EzubeluValrnti2 wrote: “First Jamb result 154. Resit Jamb result 333”.
Yusuf Ademola @Alqiblly also said:
“I got 152 at first. With a little preparation now I got 278.”
Meanwhile, Samuel Olusanya @BigSam_Olusanya said: “My student that was given 146 now scored 332!
The one that was given 160 now scored 305! The one that was given 170 now scored 308! I’m the happiest teacher on Earth!”
Another X user Engreb @Engreeeb posted:
“Thank you for all you did, my niece was wrongly credited with 161 previously and after the resit, she scored 285. JAMB nearly shattered her dreams of becoming a Nurse.”
