The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board has said no candidate sitting for the Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination, UTME, will score zero following its adoption of a new standardisation policy.
The board explained that even candidates who did not attempt any question or who did not get any answer correctly would benefit from the policy and would also be awarded some scores based on a common scale.
Registrar of the Board, Prof Ishaq Oloyede, made this known while presenting a paper at the 45th International Association for Education Conference in Azerbaijan.
The implication of the score standardisation policy means that all registered candidates will earn scores for expressing interest in the examination hence there would be no zero score.
