The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board, JAMB on Thursday unveiled the list of 2024 top scorers of the Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination(UTME).
Three candidates scored 367 during the 2024 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination and by that emerged as the highest scorers for the examination.
This was revealed by the Registrar of JAMB, Prof. Ishaq Oloyede at the ongoing 2024 policy meeting by the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board on Thursday in Abuja.
Meanwhile, recall that JAMB earlier noted that it won’t announce the 2024 highest scorer to avoid a repeat of the “Mmesoma matter.

Recall that Ejikeme Mmesoma, a 19-year-old student, claimed to score 362 as against her actual score of 249 in the 2023 UTME JAMB portal.
“It is common knowledge that the Board has, at various fora, restated its unwillingness to publish the names of its best-performing candidates, as it considers its UTME as only a ranking examination on account of the other parameters that would constitute what would later be considered the minimum admissible score for candidates seeking admission to tertiary institutions,” Oloyede said
