The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has cautioned Nigerians to beware of any candidate displaying printed result slips, as the UTME results are currently not available in paper format.
Dr. Fabian Benjamin, JAMB’s spokesperson, said in a statement on Wednesday that the information became required after certain individuals began sharing printed result slips on social media.
According to Benjamin, unlike last year, the results are currently unavailable on the JAMB website.
He said,The board, once again, wishes to state clearly that the only way to check the 2024 UTME result is to send the 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 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 result.
“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 and is 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.”
JAMB announced on Monday the release of the 2024 UTME results.
The registrar, Prof. Ishaq Oloyede, 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.
