A disappointed man who wrote the 2026 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) has taken to social media to express his frustration after viewing his result. Sharing a screenshot of his 2026 UTME outcome, the candidate rejected the score he received, maintaining that he is confident about his performance during the exam.
In a Facebook post shared in a JAMB updates group on April 20, the man, identified as Damien Clay, posted a screenshot of his result and voiced his disbelief. He scored a total of 198 points: 52 in English, 44 in Physics, 50 in Biology, and 52 in Chemistry. According to him, the results released by JAMB on April 17 contain errors, and he is certain that the score does not reflect his true ability.
Clay also mentioned that his friend, who studied intensely, only managed to score 136, which he finds inexplicable. He wrote: "Jamb come out oo. This is not my exam, ik what I wrote and I was confident about it. The results released 17th has issue's am certained about it. Even my friend read like a mad man, only to get 136. How is that even possible? Pls if you have same issues come out and talk."
