The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board has warned Nigerians to be cautious of any candidate presenting printed result slips, as the official results are only available in digital format and not in paper form.
According to the PUNCH, JAMB’s spokesperson, Dr. Fabian Benjamin, said the information became necessary as some individuals were already circulating printed result slips on social media.
Benjamin stated that, unlike last year, the results are not and cannot be found on the JAMB’s website.
The JAMB spokesperson 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 patronize 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.”
The exam body on Monday announced the release of the 2024 UTME results where the registrar, Prof. Ishaq Oloyede, announced that the board withheld the results of 64,624 out of the 1,904,189 who sat the examination and would be subjected to investigation.
