Details of the results showed that two candidates from Anambra State, Emeka-Egbuna Chinecherem C. and Onubogu Chinazom Joyce scored 189 marks out of 200 being the highest marks.

Meanwhile, the Joint Admissions and Matriculations Board (JAMB) has refuted reports that it arrested 10,000 candidates during the 2017 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) test in Anambra State.
