The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has said that the result of the 2024 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME), released Monday by the exam body, was not available yet on its website.
JAMB, in a statement by its Spokesperson, Dr Fabian Benjamin, on Wednesday, warned members of the public to be wary of anyone parading printed result slip.
According to the statement, any printed result slip of the 2024 UTME exam is fake as the result is not yet available on JAMB website.
JAMB said that the results were not available in paper format currently, contrary to what is being circulated on social media by certain individuals.
The statement obtained by Ikengaonline 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.”
