A total of 1,503,931\u00a0 candidates were registered for the 2012 UTME,\u00a0which held across the country on March 24, making it the one with the highest number of registered candidates since the existence of JAMB.<\/p>\n<p>Contrary to earlier fears that the Boko Haram sect would disrupt the exam in some Northern states, Ojerinde, said the State Security Service and other security\u00a0agencieshad been engaged to deal with any security threat.<\/p>\n<p>The exam proceeded on the set date without any security problem. At the news conference, Ojerinde, the JAMB Registrar, listed Abia, Benue, Cross River, Delta, Imo, Lagos, Nasarawa and Rivers as the affected states, due to malpractice such as extortion of money by some examination officials. \u201cIn 2012 UTME, we had some disturbing news of extortion of money from innocent candidates by greedy proprietors and supervisors all these persons will be brought to book,\u201d he said, adding that the outcome of investigation would determine if more results would be released.<\/p>\n<p>Ojerinde said 72, 243 scored 250 and above while 336,330 scored below 170.
