2024 UTME: Parents, Teachers Fault Failure Rate, Say Network Glitches Marred Exam

Parents and teachers of candidates who registered for the 2024 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination have bemoaned the 77% failure rate recorded by the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board.

It will be recalled that on Monday, JAMB said 77% of the 1,842,464 candidates whose 2024 UTME results were released, scored less than 200 out of 400.

However, some parents and teachers argued that there was no justification for the results as some registered candidates couldn’t sit the examination due to network glitches and a shortage of computer systems.

Thus, they wondered how JAMB concluded that 77% failed while some were yet to write the examination.

Speaking to our correspondent on Friday, Bosede Agbede, a staff member of Nigerian Navy Secondary School, Imirin, Ondo State, said many students who registered for the UTME examination at the Greater Tomorrow examination centre, Arigidi, Akoko area of the state, were denied opportunity to sit for the examination.

Agbede said candidates above seat number 200 were unable to write the examination due to a shortage of computers and server issues.

She narrated, “I registered 90 students of my school for the 2024 JAMB examination and they were posted to different centres in Ondo State. On April 19, in one of the centres which is Greater Tomorrow, Arigidi Akoko, some of the students came out of the exam hall lamenting that they were unable to sit for the exam due to a network glitch (log-in failure).

“Even on Saturday, one of the second set of students who went for the examination faced the same issue. They said they do not have more than 200 functional computers. So, students whose seat numbers are above 200 would have to wait. So, we waited till the exam was concluded but nothing was done about their cases.”

Agbede recounted her attempts to address this issue with exam supervisors but was met with empty promises that they would be rescheduled.

“Then I met with the exam supervisor who told me that many students were affected and would be called back later to sit for the examination. The parents of one of the students who couldn’t sit for the exam told me that they received a message to reschedule for Monday. So, we went there but nothing was done. I was even denied access to enter the premises and there were other parents there complaining about the same issue.

“The students are all bothered and depressed and scared of having to wait a whole year to sit for another exam. Many students were unable to write the 2024 JAMB exams not because of their errors or mistakes but JAMB’s errors,” she added.

She lamented that even after JAMB released the results, the affected candidates had not been given an opportunity to sit for their exams.

“With the fact that some students were unable to sit for the exam, JAMB released results and even announced that 77% of the registered candidates failed.

“What category do candidates who were unable to sit for the examination despite doing their biometrics fall into? This is seriously affecting the students and they are disturbed and depressed,” she added.
