Imo State topped in the numbers of detected incidences of such malpractices in the main qualifying exam for tertiary education in Nigeria.

With 28 listed cases, the state had the highest of the total 195 malpractices recorded nationwide during the examinations.

Data EduCeleb.com obtained from the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) showed that Imo is closely followed by Anambra with 16 cases.

Each of Enugu, Kaduna and Kano states recorded 15 cases.

Among states with the least recorded cases of examination malpractices with one each are Yobe, Sokoto, Gombe and Adamawa.

Note that six states recorded no case of examination malpractices, according to the JAMB data.

The board noted that prima facie cases of examination misconduct have been made against all these candidates.

Also, the activities at nine Computer Based Test (CBT) centres got rejected by JAMB.

The centres cutting across Abia, Enugu, Kogi, Kwara, Lagos Nassarawa, Ogun, Oyo and Kano states were affected by what it called “technical deficiency and alleged connivance with candidates to cheat.”

EduCeleb.com recalls that over 1.9 million candidates wrote the UTME in March, 2020. That is the highest number of candidates recorded at a sitting in the over four decades history of the examining body.

The data identified that 89 candidates were caught for examination by proxy, 32 candidates for smuggling mobile phones and devices into the examination hall, 26 candidates were caught for convenience to cheat, 24 candidates for attempting to cheat.

Also, nine candidates were listed for unruly behavior, seven candidates were found to have carried out double registrations, four candidates tampered with their examination document, three candidates were caught for forceful entrance while one candidate was found to have faked vital documents.

As the infographics above shows, when compared with that of recent years, the incidence of examination malpractices by UTME candidates was on the decline.

In 2019, a staggering number of 16,586 cases of malpractices were identified while in 2018, it was 280.

The cases were 2,508 in 2017 and even higher at 3,462 in 2016.

However, the number of exam malpractices recorded in 2015 was 2,581.

EduCeleb.com observed that from the data breakdown that what counted as malpractices varied across years. Particularly, cases of “lateness to examination hall” were counted among offences in earlier years.
