According to reports from LEADERSHIP, a staggering number of over 1.94 million candidates registered and sat for the examination. The UTME took place in 118 towns and over 700 centers across the country, making it one of the largest examinations of its kind in Nigeria.
The examination spanned a period of ten days, commencing on Friday, April 19, and concluding on Monday, April 29, 2024. During this time, candidates were tested on various subjects, including English Language, Mathematics, and other subjects relevant to their chosen fields of study.
The release of the UTME results marks a crucial milestone for the candidates who have been eagerly awaiting their scores. These results will play a significant role in determining their eligibility for admission into tertiary institutions across the country.
The JAMB UTME is a highly competitive examination, and candidates invest a great deal of time and effort in their preparations.

The release of the UTME results also signifies the beginning of the next phase in the admission process. Successful candidates will now proceed to participate in the post-UTME screening exercises conducted by their chosen tertiary institutions. These screenings will further assess the candidates’ suitability for admission based on their UTME scores and other criteria set by the institutions.
It is important to note that the JAMB UTME is just one aspect of the admission process, and candidates should be prepared for the subsequent stages. This includes meeting the specific requirements of their chosen institutions, such as obtaining the minimum required scores, submitting necessary documents, and participating in interviews or other selection processes.
As the candidates receive their UTME results, it is crucial for them to remain focused and determined. Regardless of the outcome, there are various pathways to success, and each individual should explore all available options. It is essential to seek guidance from academic counselors, mentors, and other relevant professionals to make informed decisions about their future educational endeavors.
The release of the 2024 UTME results is a significant event in the academic calendar of Nigeria. It represents the culmination of months of preparation and serves as a stepping stone for candidates to pursue their dreams of higher education.
