According to Oloyede, over 1.94 million candidates registered and sat for the examination in 118 towns and over 700 centres across the country.
He said 1,1,402,490, which is 76 per cent of the candidates got below 200. JAMB, however, re-echoed its resolve not to publish the name of the highest-scoring candidate.

A further breakdown of the number of candidates who sat for the examination showed that the females were more than males.
