LunagisthubJAMB’s Crackdown on Exam Fraud: Over 21,000 Candidates Miss UTME Resit
The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has revealed that over 21,000 candidates failed to show up for the 2025 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) resit. The resit was conducted for candidates who were affected by technical disruptions during the main examination.
The significant number of absentees has raised suspicions about the true intentions of these candidates. JAMB’s investigation has uncovered evidence of AI-powered exam fraud and mercenary candidates, which may have contributed to the high absenteeism rate.
The board’s efforts to curb exam malpractice have led to the exposure of these fraudulent activities. By identifying and penalizing candidates who engage in such practices, JAMB aims to maintain the integrity of the examination process.
Candidates who were absent from the resit may face consequences, including being banned from future examinations or having their results withheld. The incident serves as a warning to candidates who attempt to exploit the system.
JAMB’s crackdown on exam malpractice is expected to continue, with the board implementing measures to prevent similar incidents in the future. The outcome of this investigation will likely have significant implications for the conduct of future examinations.
