Whereas the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has owned up to avoidable server error on its system following the wave of massive failure and complaints trailing the released results of the 2025 examination nationwide, A report by Educare Tech Team, as submitted by Engr. James Nnanyelugo presented a clearer insight on what went wrong.
As if Igbos were targeted, the revealed as follows;
“The system patch necessary to support both shuffling and source-based validation had been fully deployed on the server cluster supporting the KAD (Kaduna) zone, but it was not applied to the LAG (Lagos) cluster, which services centres in Lagos and the South-East.
“This omission persisted across all sessions until the 17th session, after which the error was discovered and corrected.
“As a result, approximately 92 centres in the South-East and 65 centres in Lagos—totalling 157 centres—operated using outdated server logic that could not appropriately handle the new answer submission/marking structure.
“This affected an estimated 379,997 candidates, whose results were severely impacted due to system mismatches during answer validation.”
