According to the information obtained from the school’s Facebook page, the highest scorer this year, Ayeyemi Ibukunoluwa, scored a total of 362 points out of the 400 obtainable points.

The school had produced the highest scorer for the 2023 UTME, Umeh Kamsiyochukwu, who emerged as the highest scorer for the 2023 UTME with a total of 360 points.

According to the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board, 1,402,490 candidates out of 1,842,464 failed to score 200 out of 400 marks.

The examination body, through its registrar, Prof Ishaq Oloyede, had stated that, among other reasons, the board considers the UTME as “only a ranking examination,” hence, its decision not to disclose the names of the highest-scoring candidates in the just-concluded UTME.

Also, the board urged Nigerians to be wary of any candidate parading printed result slips as currently, the result is not in any paper format.
