JAMB Releases 2025 Resit UTME Results — Here’s How to Check Yours Fast

If you resat the 2025 UTME due to technical issues in Lagos or the South-East, your result is now out. No long story — just the facts. Here’s how to check it and what to know about cancelled scores.

JAMB Responds to Cancelled Result Rumors

There’s been a lot of talk online about some candidates keeping high scores from cancelled sessions. JAMB says that’s false.

“99 out of every 100 resit candidates scored below 200. Very few went above 217,” the board clarified.

JAMB also warned Nigerians against fake stories trying to discredit their system. According to the board, these rumors are being pushed by “mischief-makers” who are only trying to cause confusion.

So if someone claims they kept their 300+ score from the cancelled UTME — it’s a myth.
