The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) is a body responsible for conducting entrance examinations into Nigerian universities, polytechnics, and colleges of education.
After taking the Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME), one of the most anticipated moments is checking your JAMB results.
How Can I Check My JAMB Result Online?
The simplest way to check your JAMB result is through the official JAMB portal.
To do this, visit the JAMB result-checking portal at www.jamb.gov.ng. Once on the site, follow these steps:
- Click on the “Check UTME Result” link.
- Enter your JAMB Registration Number or the email address you used to register.
- Click on “Check My Result,” and your result will appear on the screen.
Ensure that you have a stable internet connection to avoid interruptions during the process. You can also print your result for future reference.
Is There any Method to Check My JAMB Result?
Yes, you can check your result via SMS, which is particularly useful if you have limited internet access.
To check your JAMB result via SMS, simply send “RESULT” followed by your JAMB Registration Number to 55019 or 66019.
The result will be sent to you as an SMS reply, but note that charges apply for this service.
This method is quick and convenient, especially for those who prefer using their mobile phones.
Can I Check My JAMB Result Without a Registration Number?
Unfortunately, you cannot check your JAMB result without your registration number.
The registration number is a unique identifier assigned to you during the UTME registration process, and it is essential for checking your result online or via SMS.
If you’ve misplaced your registration number, you can retrieve it by logging into the JAMB portal or by checking your JAMB slip.
When Will JAMB Release My Result?
JAMB typically releases results within 48 hours after the examination. However, there may be delays due to technical issues or the need to review the results for accuracy.
It’s advisable to keep checking the JAMB portal regularly for updates.
If results are not released within a few days, JAMB usually provides a public update on the expected release date.
How Can I Print My JAMB Result?
To print your JAMB result, first log into the JAMB portal and check your result as described earlier.
Once your result appears on the screen, click the “Print” button.
You can either print it directly if you have access to a printer or save it as a PDF file and print it later.
It’s important to print multiple copies of your result for future use, especially when applying to universities.
Why Is My JAMB Result Not Showing?
If your JAMB result is not displaying, there could be several reasons. One common reason is that JAMB might still be reviewing your result.
This can happen if there are technical glitches or discrepancies in the results.
Another reason could be that you entered the wrong registration number or email address when checking your result.
Double-check your details to ensure accuracy. If the issue persists, try again later or contact JAMB support.
Can I Check My JAMB Result for Free?
Yes, checking your JAMB result on the official portal is free of charge. You are not required to make any payments to access your result online.
However, if you opt to check via SMS, you will incur a small fee, which is deducted from your mobile credit.
Be wary of third-party websites that claim to offer result-checking services for a fee, as JAMB has not authorized any external platforms for this purpose.
