The results of the 2024 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) are not currently available on the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board’s (JAMB) website.
The Board, therefore, warned that any result on the printed slip is fake.
JAMB’s spokesperson, Dr. Fabian Benjamin, in a statement on Wednesday, said the information became necessary as some individuals were already circulating printed result slips on social media.
Benjamin said, unlike last year, the results at the moment are not and cannot be found on the 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 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 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.”
Recall that the results of the 2024 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) were made public by the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) on Monday.
The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) needs to be open and honest with stakeholders at every stage of the process, giving priority to fixing the technical problems that are impeding the publication of the UTME results. A seamless transition into the next stage of the candidates’ academic career will be ensured by prompt updates and unambiguous directions.
As they wait for additional information from JAMB on the availability of the 2024 UTME results, aspirants are encouraged to exercise patience and caution. It is critical to keep up to date via official channels and to steer clear of rumors and false information that circulate on social media.
Maintaining the UTME process’s legitimacy and integrity is essential while the examination board attempts to address the technical issues. Ensuring a fair and equal evaluation of candidates’ academic achievements can be achieved by transparent communication, accountability, and adherence to established standards, ultimately restoring confidence in the examination system.
The 2024 UTME results were delayed in being posted on the JAMB website, which emphasizes how critical it is to resolve technical issues quickly and openly. Through giving applicants’ requirements top priority and keeping lines of communication open with interested parties, the examination board can protect the integrity of the examination procedure and promote confidence in the educational system.
