The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board has urged Nigerians to be wary of any candidate parading printed result slips as, currently, the results are not in any paper format.


The body also said that, unlike last year, the results cannot be found on the Board’s website at the moment.


JAMB made this known in a statement released by its spokesperson, Dr Fabian Benjamin, on Wednesday.


He stated that the information became necessary as some individuals were already circulating printed result slips on social media.


The statement read, “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 exercise. Ensure that the SIM is not on any bundle.


“This is different from what was obtained last year; hence, the results are not and cannot be found on the Board’s website at the moment.


“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.”


On Monday, the Board announced the release of the 2024 UTME results.


The Registrar, Prof. Ishaq Oloyede, made this known during a press briefing in Bwari, Abuja.


Oloyede also noted that the results of 64,624 out of the 1,904,189 who sat the examination have been withheld by the Board and will be subject to investigation. The Board Registrar noted that though a total of 1,989,668 registered, a total of 80,810 candidates were absent.
