JAMB result checker: how to view your 2024 UTME score online

The 2024 JAMB result is now available on www.jamb.gov.ng, and candidates who sat the computer-based test can retrieve their scores through the JAMB Result Checker 2024, using either a registration number or — for those without one — the email address supplied at registration.

How the JAMB UTME result checker portal works

Candidates open the JAMB result checking portal and key in either their registration number or an email address to reach their result. Because the platform is online, it can be reached from any location that has an internet connection.

Besides the portal, candidates may use an SMS service that delivers results through a designated shortcode. For that option, the candidate texts a JAMB registration number to the shortcode.

Results generally appear a short time after the UTME examination ends. Candidates can obtain their scores over the internet or through a text message, with marks awarded on a scale running from 0 to 400.

A JAMB result stays valid for one year. According to the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board, any candidate who does not secure a place in a tertiary institution during the year of the examination must sit the Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination again and obtain a fresh JAMB result before being considered for admission in later years.

Checking a JAMB result by text message on 55019

2. If the phone number was not the one used to register, the reply reads: “This phone number was not used for registration.”

3. A candidate with a result receives: “Dear Mr/Miss X, your result is as follows… (and the details will be provided)”.

4. Where a result has been withheld over examination malpractice or another reason, the status returned is “Result Withheld”.

5. Candidates in the category given the benefit of the doubt get the message: “Result withheld pending the upload of clarifications/document required from you.”

6. A candidate who was absent receives “CANDIDATE ABSENT” as feedback.

7. A candidate marked ABSENT WITH REGISTRATION NUMBER whose entry was also CANCELLED is likewise notified.

8. Anyone who gained unauthorised entry into the examination hall is sent the “Invalid Entrance into the Exam Hall” status by text message.
