The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has advised Nigerians to be cautious of candidates presenting printed result slips, as the current results are not available in paper format.
JAMB’s spokesperson, Dr. Fabian Benjamin, released a statement on Wednesday alerting the public to the circulation of printed result slips on social media, which should not be regarded as official. Unlike last year, this year’s results are not accessible on JAMB’s website.
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 that the results for the 2024 UTME have been released.
The Registrar, Prof. Ishaq Oloyede, noted that the results of 64,624 candidates out of the 1,904,189 who participated in the examination have been withheld by the board for further investigation.
