Results of the UTME are not available in paper format - JAMB

Nigerians have been warned by the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board not to trust candidates who display printed result slips because there is now no paper version of the results.

In a statement released on Wednesday, Dr. Fabian Benjamin, JAMB’s spokesperson, stated that the information was required since some people had already started sharing printed result slips on social media.

In contrast to last year, according to Benjamin, the results are now not and cannot be found on the JAMB website.

He said,“The board, once again, wishes to state clearly that the only way to check the 2024 UTME result is to send UTMERESULT to 55019 or 66019, using the same phone used by the candidate in registering for the UTME. Ensure that the SIM is not on any bundle.

“This is different from what obtained last year, hence, the results, at the moment, are not and cannot be found on the board’s website.

“Candidates are urged to follow the method specified above to obtain their results. They need not visit any cybercafe or patronise any third-party entity to check their result.

“The public is also advised to be wary of any candidate parading printed result slip as currently, the result is not on any paper format as being circulated on social media by some individuals.

“A reasonable number of candidates have checked their results as seen on our monitoring dashboard but for the few still struggling, please follow the right channel.”

The results of the 2024 UTME were released on Monday, according to JAMB.

Prof. Ishaq Oloyede, the Registrar, announced that the board has withheld the results of 64,624 of the 1,904,189 candidates who took the exam and that they would be looking into them.
