Science student scores low in UTME
In another related news, a science student had performed poorly in the UTME.
After checking the results online, the student took to Facebook to share the scores for people to see. The JAMB UTME scores shared on Facebook showed that the student scored a total of 162 marks. The subjects he took were English language, mathematics, biology, chemistry and physics.
The student recorded 36 marks in chemistry, 40 in the use of English, 41 in biology and 45 in physics. He, however, wondered if he would be able to use the JAMB UTME result to gain admission into the university.
