The Joint Admission and Matriculation Board (JAMB), has promised to release the result of Saturday's University Matriculation Exams (UME), next month.
Ojerinde told newsmen shortly after the conduct of the exams in Abuja on Saturday that the exercise had been a great success that the commission's figure was "to release the results three weeks from now."
He said the introduction of e-registration for candidates had eliminated difficulties encountered in the past. "The beauty of e-registration is that it prevents candidates from engaging in cheating and other malpractices," Ojerinde said. He said that the introduction of a device to demobilise phones and other communication systems had also helped in curtailing malpractices among candidates.
Four candidates were disqualified in various centres in Abuja after they reported late for the exam. They are: Mary Elijah, Jane Nwokebebu, Salihu Nathaniel and an unnamed lady who were sent home by the registrar for arriving about one hour behind schedule.
