The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) is under mounting legal pressure as a group of Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) candidates take the examination body to court over what they describe as "unjustifiably low scores."
The legal move gained traction on social media platform X (formerly Twitter), where a user with the handle @winexviv initiated a call to action for candidates who suspect discrepancies in their 2024 UTME results.
In the viral post, @winexviv shared a form for affected students to fill, with the aim of filing a class action lawsuit. The goal, according to the organizer, is to compel JAMB to disclose its marking scheme and scoring breakdown for the recently concluded exams.
This development comes amid nationwide uproar following the release of the 2024 UTME results. Reports indicate that over 500,000 candidates scored below 200 out of the possible 400 marks, triggering accusations of possible errors, manipulation, or system glitches.
Many candidates took to social media to vent their frustration, claiming the scores were not consistent with their exam preparations or mock test performances. Some went further to allege that the results may have been deliberately altered.
“If your JAMB score is far lower than expected and you believe there’s a mistake, kindly fill this form to be part of the legal process,” @winexviv wrote, encouraging affected students to demand transparency.
The post has since gone viral, attracting widespread support and stories from disappointed candidates across the country.
So far, JAMB has maintained that the results are accurate and has not issued a response to the court action or the online campaign demanding the release of its scoring template.
As discontent grows, education advocates and legal experts are watching closely, with many suggesting the outcome of the case could set a precedent for future accountability in standardized testing in Nigeria.
