Zigmatech Consult Limited has announced a new reward structure for the 2027 Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME). According to Punch, the education technology firm will award N1,000 for every mark scored by the five highest-performing users of its ExamGuide Practice Application. This performance-based model replaces the fixed prize used previously, meaning a candidate scoring 380 will receive N380,000, while a perfect score of 400 yields N400,000.
The announcement follows the recognition of five students who achieved exceptional results in the 2026 UTME using the platform. Punch reported that each recipient received a cash prize of N100,000. Victor Onyeka Daniel Ifeanyi, a student at Jephthah Comprehensive Secondary School in Rivers State, was the top scorer with 368 points. Solaru Oluwaferanmi Abisola of Regal New Height College in Ogun State placed second with 364 points.
