The Joint Admission and Matriculation Board, JAMB, has advised candidates on how they can check the 2024 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination, UTME, result.
According to the Board, the explanation became necessary because the process is quite different from that used in 2023.
The Board said, “The process is different this year and cannot, at the moment, be found on the JAMB website.”
Speaking through its spokesperson, Fabian Benjamin., JAMB on Monday announced the release of the examination results taken between Friday, 19 and Monday, 29 April.
The Board stated that over 1.9 million candidates sat the computer-based examination. This is the used in ranking candidates seeking admission into Nigerian tertiary institutions.
Speaking on how candidates can check the released results, JAMB said the only way to check the 2024 UTME is to send UTMERESULT to 55019 or 66019. Using the same phone number 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.”
“Candidates are urged to follow the method specified above to obtain their results. They need not visit any cybercafe or patronize any third-party entity to check their result.” the statement warned.
JAMB added that the results cannot yet be printed on paper. The Board, therefore, stressed that the public should be wary of “any candidate parading printed result slip as currently. JAMB warned that “The result is not on any paper format as being circulated on social media by some individuals.”
JAMB stated that “A reasonable number of candidates have checked their results as seen on our monitoring dashboard. The Board, however, advised that the few still struggling, should please follow the right channel.”
Recall that the admission Board revealed that 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.
