JAMB said what obtains this year is different from last year, saying results cannot, at the moment, be found on its website.
The Joint Admissions and Matriculations Board (JAMB) has explained how candidates can check the 2024 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) result.
The process is different this year and cannot, at the moment, be found on the JAMB website, the board said in a statement by its spokesperson, Fabian Benjamin.
JAMB on Monday announced the release of the examination results taken between Friday, 19 and Monday, 29 April. Over 1.9 million candidates sat the computer-based examination, which is used to rank candidates seeking admission into Nigerian tertiary institutions.
How to check UTME results
JAMB said the only way to check the 2024 UTME is to send UTMERESULT to 55019 or 66019 using the same phone used by the candidate in registering for the UTME exercise.
“This is different from what was obtained last year; hence, the results, at the moment, are not and cannot be found on the Board’s website,” the statement said.
“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.”
‘No paper result yet’
JAMB added that the results cannot yet be printed on paper, stressing that the public should 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,” it said.
More than 70 per cent of candidates who sat the examination scored less than 200 out of the 400 obtainable scores. Only 0.5 per cent of the candidates scored above 300, according to JAMB Registrar Is-haq Oloyede.
