The Joint Admission and Matriculation, JAMB, has urged candidates who sat the 2024 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination, UTME, to go approved centres to print out their original result slips.
This was contained in a statement signed by JAMB’s spokesperson, Fabian Benjamin, on Monday, July 22. He stated that the result slips can only be printed from approved Computer-Based Test (CBT) centres starting from Monday.
JAMB, however, warned candidates to avoid printing their result slips from cybercafes or other internet-enabled platforms. The exam body maintained that this could expose them to fraudulent activities such as attempted score inflation.
The statement reads in part: “Please note that result slips cannot be printed from cybercafés or other internet-enabled platforms. Candidates are strongly advised to follow approved channels for printing and avoid falling victims to fraudulent activities, such as attempted score inflation, perpetrated by individuals seeking to exploit this process.”
JAMB further noted the special feature that should be observed on the original result slips. It stated that the printed result slips capture the candidate’s photograph and advanced security features. The Board stated that slips “also serve as a secure and verifiable record of their results.”
“It is important to note that candidates’ scores were previously released via the Board’s sort code. So, this physical copy serves as a secure and verifiable record of their results,” JAMB said.
Recall that the 2024 UTME was held between April 29 and May 12. With over 1.6 million candidates registered to sit the exam. The examination was conducted in approved Computer-Based Test (CBT) Centres across the country.
Also, the results for the candidates have since been released via text messages sent to their mobile phones used for the registration.
According to JAMB, the new update, is for further authentication and record-keeping purposes.
