The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) on Wednesday, announced that the 2024 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examinations (UTME) results are not yet available on its website.
They caution that any result displayed on a printed slip is not genuine.
This warning comes as some people have started sharing printed result slips on social media.
According to Dr. Fabian Benjamin, JAMB’s spokesperson, the results cannot be accessed on their website as they were last year. Instead, candidates should text UTMERESULT to either 55019 or 66019 using the same phone number used for registration, making sure it’s not on any data plan.
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 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 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.”
