JAMB has been engulfed in a wave of outrage as more than 8,391 candidates have reportedly lodged formal complaints about their 2025 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) results. The candidates are asking for the release of their full mark sheets while alleging poor scores and serious technical failure from JAMB.
The development was shared in a post on X (previously Twitter) by the user @winexviv, who stated that the affected candidates filled out formal complaint forms expected to be submitted in court in an effort to force JAMB into releasing the detailed breakdown of their scores.
“Currently, we have 8,391 students who have sent in their complaints regarding the glitches in the JAMB 2025 exam,” @winexviv wrote. “There’s plenty of evidence that JAMB’s system was inefficient, causing serious harm to these students’ mental health.”
These aggrieved students believe system errors might have been at play during the CBT whereby an answer of theirs was wrongly recorded. Therefore, they are demanding full transparency so that the issue can be addressed.
As more people began to engage with the post, reactions poured in from candidates and parents frustrated with JAMB’s lack of accountability, the country’s poor tech infrastructure, which has now weighed down Nigerian students emotionally.
