The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) is a critical body in Nigeria, responsible for administering exams that determine university admissions.
After completing the Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME), one of the most pressing concerns for candidates is checking their JAMB results.
With the rise of digital platforms, JAMB has simplified the process, making it quick and accessible.
How do I check my JAMB result online?
The most convenient way to check your JAMB result is online through the official JAMB portal. To do this, simply:
- Visit the JAMB result-checking portal.
- Log in with your JAMB registration number or email and password.
- Click on “Check UTME Results.”
- Enter your JAMB registration number and click “Submit.”
Once your result is displayed, you can print or save it as a PDF for future reference.
Ensure that your internet connection is stable for a smooth experience.
Can I check my JAMB result via SMS?
Yes, JAMB allows candidates to check their results via SMS, even without an internet connection.
To check your result using this method, simply send “RESULT” as an SMS to 55019 using the phone number linked to your JAMB profile.
A response will be sent to you within a few minutes, displaying your scores.
Note that this method requires a minimum of ₦50 airtime on your phone.
Also, ensure the phone number you are using is the one registered with JAMB during your UTME registration.
Is it free to check my JAMB result?
Checking your JAMB result online via the official portal is completely free.
However, if you choose to check your result via SMS, a nominal fee of ₦50 will be deducted from your phone balance.
Always use the official JAMB platforms to avoid being scammed by fraudulent websites or services claiming to provide quick results at a fee.
What if my JAMB result is not showing?
If your JAMB result is not showing on the portal, do not panic.
There are several reasons this could happen, including network issues, the result not being uploaded yet, or a system glitch.
In most cases, results are uploaded within a week of the exam, so you might need to wait a bit.
You can try checking your result again after some time, or contact JAMB support if the issue persists.
Additionally, results may be withheld for candidates involved in examination malpractice, so ensure you’ve adhered to all exam guidelines.
How many times can I check my JAMB result?
You can check your JAMB result as many times as you wish, but it is advisable to print or download a copy of your result for future use.
There is no limit to the number of times you can access the result on the JAMB portal.
How do I print my JAMB result?
To print your JAMB result, follow the steps outlined below:
- Log into the JAMB portal.
- After your result is displayed, click on the “Print” option.
- You can either print it directly if you have access to a printer or save it as a PDF file to print later.
Having a physical copy of your JAMB result is essential as you will need it for admissions processing at your university of choice.
When will JAMB release results after the exam?
JAMB typically releases results within 48 hours of the exam.
However, delays can occur due to technical reasons or the need for further verification of some candidates’ results.
It is advisable to check the JAMB website regularly after your exam to know when the results are available.
What if I forget my JAMB registration number?
Your JAMB registration number is crucial for checking your result online.
If you forget it, log into your JAMB profile using the email and password you used for registration.
From there, you can retrieve your registration number and proceed to check your result.
