After public outcry over widespread low scores in the 2025 UTME, JAMB admitted technical and human errors and offered a resit. Now, the results are in and they’re dramatically different. Students are flooding X with testimonies, many jumping over 150 points. From frustration to faith, this story is stirring national conversation.
- 379,000 students sat for the rescheduled 2025 UTME
- JAMB previously admitted that errors affected the original scores
- Students shared dramatic score increases:
- From 170 ➝ 301
- From 151 ➝ 307
- From 154 ➝ 333
- From 146 ➝ 332
- Parents, teachers, and students say they’ve been “vindicated”
- Alex Onyia of EDUCARE led calls for transparency and fairness
- Social media buzz centres on accountability and second chances
JAMB’s resit results are a sharp indictment of the system’s failure, but also a rare moment of institutional correction. While many now celebrate, questions remain about how such large discrepancies occurred in the first place. The pressure is now on JAMB to ensure it never happens again.
The students did their part. Now it’s time for JAMB to review its systems, communicate transparently, and rebuild trust.
