The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has issued a crucial update regarding JAMB result slip printing for 2024. This information is essential for all candidates who took the Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) this year.
JAMB has clarified that, unlike the previous years, there is no option for JAMB result slip printing 2024. The official statement emphasizes that the 2024 UTME results are not available in any paper format. As such, it advises candidates to be wary of individuals circulating printed result slips on social media, as these are not legitimate.
Access your 2024 JAMB results through other means other than printing
JAMB has urged candidates to avoid patronising third-party entities to check their UTME results. The only authorised method for accessing your 2024 UTME score is via SMS. Simply send “UTMERESULT” to either 55019 or 66019 using the same phone number you registered with for the UTME exam. Ensure the SIM card has airtime loaded on it. The service costs ₦50 only.
Important information for JAMB result access:
- Lost Phone Number: JAMB phone numbers cannot be changed. If you’ve lost the phone number you registered with, you must retrieve it from your mobile network provider.
- Not receiving results: If you’re not receiving your JAMB 2024 result on your registered phone number, ensure Do Not Disturb (DND) is deactivated on your SIM card. DND activation on your line means you may not be able to receive messages from shortcodes.
- Fees Paid on JAMB Portal: If you paid on the JAMB portal for result checking or printing in 2024, you may have lost your money as the process has changed.
- “Under Investigation” Status: If your result shows “under investigation,” it may still be released after JAMB completes its investigation.
- “Results Withheld” Status: If your result shows “results withheld,” it may not be released due to suspected exam malpractice.
Final thoughts on JAMB result printing 2024
This change may differ from what you experienced in past years, but JAMB encourages all candidates to embrace the designated SMS method for checking their results. Maybe, later in the year, the JAMB result slip printing for 2024 may begin for admission processes for candidates who may need it in their respective private, state or federal institutions. However, it remains unavailable for now.
