UTME results not available in paper format – JAMB

The public has been notified by the Joint Admission Matriculation Board to be mindful of any candidates seen with printed result slips as currently the result are not printable.

On Wednesday, Dr Fabian Benjamin, the JAMB spokesperson, said the information became necessary as some individuals were already circulating printed result slips on social media.

Benjamin said the results at the moment are not printable and cannot be found on the JAMB’s website, unlike the previous years.

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.”

On Monday, JAMB declared the release of the 2024 UTME results.

Prof. Ishaq Oloyede, the Registrar, said the results of 64,624 out of the 1,904,189, who sat the examination, were withheld by the board and would be subjected to investigation.
