The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) says the 2024 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) results are unavailable in any paper format.
JAMB made this known via a statement issued by its spokesperson, Dr Fabian Benjamin, on Wednesday, May 1, 2024.
The examination body announced the release of the 2024 UTME results on Monday, April 29.
Benjamin, however, noted that unlike 2023, the 2024 UTME results, at the moment, cannot be checked via JAMB’s website.
He stated: “JAMB, 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.
JAMB releases 2024 UTME results, 64,624 results under investigation
“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.”
The JAMB Registrar, Prof. Is-haq Oloyede, while announcing the release of the results on Monday, disclosed that 1,989,668 candidates registered for the examinations held in 118 towns in 774 Computer Based Test (CBT) centres.
Oloyede said out of the registered candidates, 1,904,109 sat for the examination while 80,810 were absent.
He noted that 64,624 results were under investigation for various reasons such as verification (2,896), procedural investigations (4,594), and prima facie established exam misconduct (78).
The JAMB boss said other results under investigation were centre-based investigations involving 57,056 candidates in 18 centres across the country.
Oloyede added that 8,401 candidates representing 0.5 per cent scored 300 and above, while 77,070 candidates representing 4.2 per cent scored 250 and above.
He noted that 439,974 candidates representing 24 per cent scored 200 and above, while 1,402,490 representing 76 per cent scored below 200.
