A JAMB candidate who scored an impressive 326 in his UTME exam has recently expressed shock after receiving a notification from the examination body informing him that he has been rescheduled to retake the test.
This surprising update was shared on his X (formerly Twitter) page by the user @swagpriest2, who detailed his frustration and disbelief over the unexpected development.
JAMB candidate with 326 UTME score receives new exam date.
Earlier, he had proudly announced his UTME score on social media, posting: “Hope 326 isn’t a bad score for Twitter NG.” Many celebrated his achievement as above average and sufficient for admission into competitive programs.
However, following reports from JAMB confirming irregularities and errors at several examination centers across the country, many candidates—even those with high scores—have been informed they must sit for a retake to ensure the integrity of the examination process.
In his latest post, @swagpriest2 shared a screenshot of the official SMS notification from JAMB, stating: “WTF I got rescheduled… I’m not even in Lagos. Gosh, this country is so awful.” His message resonated with many who feel similarly frustrated by the decision.
The post quickly gained traction on social media, with many users flooding the comment section to offer sympathy, share their own stories of rescheduling, and question the fairness of the new directive.
See some reactions below:
@darhythms: “Also did you by any chance write in Lagos and then move afterwards?”
@__onisamuel: “Is it that they just pick candidates to retake again?”
@Yhuchez: “Lmao. They take back the score. They say, ‘jo be your own.’”
@mrsaka_1: “Thought they said they rescheduled those that scored below 200 only?”
@99daagentts: “So what happened to your previous results? What’s the necessity of sitting again for another exam??”
