Having held high-stake meetings with the principal officers of the Kwara State College of Arabic and Islamic Legal Studies(CAILS) and the Kwara State University (KWASU), on the CAILS-KWASU Diploma programme, the Board has agreed to conduct a special registration exercise for the 3,633 prospective candidates, who did not participate in the 2024
UTME based on the assumption that they would be accommodated in the 2024 DE exercise.
These candidates are, therefore, to register at any of the approved CBT centres in Kwara, Oyo or Osun State within the next one week (ending on Monday, 10th June, 2024.) to register for the UTME.
469 others among this category of UTME candidates who had already taken the 2024 UTME need not retake the examination. The one they have already taken suffices.
This concession is to ensure that, while standards are being maintained, efforts are in place to support and promote the aspirations of qualified and willing candidates even if it requires bending over backwards.
RELEASE OF ADDITIONAL RESULTS AND RESCHEDULED UTME
A supplementary 2024 UTME has been scheduled for Saturday, 22nd June 2024, for the following candidates:
A) CAILS-KWASU candidates referred to above
B) Some (20,550) of the candidates whose results are up till now under investigation.
C) 2,702 candidates whose
fingers could not be verified who are given the benefit of doubts to sit the 2024 UTME.
The remaining 322 candidates have been migrated to the category of candidates under examination misconduct.
prima-facie case has clearly been established that those who had registered were not those who appeared for the examination. Consequently, the number of examination misconduct has increased by 322 to 431.
