Jamb/Post UTME Update

CANDIDATES WITH “NO RESULT YET” STATUS

The Board has received numerous inquiries from parents regarding candidates whose results are currently displaying “No Result Yet.”

Please be informed that results for underage candidates have not been released. When such candidates attempt to check their results, the system will return the message “No Result Yet.”

As stipulated by regulation, only candidates who will be at least 16 years old by 30th September 2026 are eligible to register for and sit the UTME.

However, underage candidates may be considered under the exceptional category, provided they demonstrate outstanding ability by scoring 320 and above in the UTME and attaining at least 80% in subsequent screening stages.

In line with the agreement reached and endorsed by parents of these underage candidates, only those who score 320 and above will be shortlisted and invited to proceed to the next stages of the screening. Successful candidates at that stage may then be considered for admission under the exceptional candidates provision.

For now, results for underage candidates remain unreleased.

SECTION A: READING PASSAGE (Questions 1-10)
Read the passage carefully and answer questions 1 to 10.

The advent of digital technology has profoundly altered the landscape of modern education. Decades ago, the traditional classroom was the sole arena for learning, relying heavily on textbooks, chalkboards, and the physical presence of an instructor.
