The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has announced the discontinuation of printed Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) result slips from the 2024 exercise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In a policy statement, JAMB stated that UTME results will henceforth be available solely through SMS (text message) on candidates’ registered mobile phone numbers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
According to the Board, the move is aimed at further enhancing the integrity of the examination process and precluding any form of fraudulent alteration or duplication of results.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Candidates who sat for the 2024 UTME will receive their result details as a text message on the same mobile numbers provided during registration a few days after the examination.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
JAMB has therefore advised candidates not to visit any center or cybercafe to demand or collect printed UTME results as such requests will not be entertained.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Any candidate who does not receive their result notification via SMS a few days after the examination has been directed to use the official JAMB channels to verify and request for their result.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The new UTME result transmission policy is part of JAMB’s continued efforts to leverage technology to ensure a seamless, transparent, and secure admission process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Education stakeholders have lauded the initiative as a progressive step to curb examination malpractices and activities of criminal syndicates involved in result racketeering.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
However, some have also raised concerns about the reliability of the SMS system and network challenges which could impede candidates from receiving their results.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
JAMB has provided dedicated support lines and channels for candidates to verify their results and submit inquiries or complaints regarding the new policy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The 2024 UTME was held between April 29 and May 12 across approved centers in Nigeria, with over 2 million candidates participating.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
