Be Wary Of Candidates Parading Printed Result Slips, JAMB Warns

The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has warned the public to be wary of any candidate parading a printed result slip of its 2024 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME), saying the result is not in any paper format currently as being circulated on social media by some individuals.

The Board also called on candidates in the just-concluded 2024 UTME to only follow the specified method to obtain their results.

The examination body made this known in a statement by its Public Communication Advisor, Dr. Fabian Benjamin, on Wednesday.

The Board urged candidates to simply send UTMERESULT to 55019 or 66019 to access their scores in the exam.

The statement titled, ‘HOW TO CHECK 2024 UTME RESULT’, read: “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 exercise. Ensure that the SIM is not on any bundle.

“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 cybercafé or patronise any third-party entity to check their results.

“The public is also advised to be wary of any candidate parading a printed result slip, as currently, the result is not in 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.”
