– The Joint Admission and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has announced that candidates who took the 2022 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination, also known as UTME, can now access their results.
The Joint Admission and Matriculation Board (JAMB) is recognised by law to conduct entrance examinations into the various universities/polytechnics/collegesother tertiary institutions in Nigeria.
Candidates that participated in the 2022 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) conducted between Saturday, 6th May and Sunday 15th, May 2022 can now check their results online/ofline (via SMS).
How to Check the JAMB 2022 Result
There are two ways to check your JAMB results. Candidates can access their results either online (via the JAMB portal) or via SMS (using JAMB shortcodes).
Using the online option is completely free; all you need is an internet-enabled device to check your results. The SMS option is ideal for candidates who do not have access to the internet or who live in areas with poor network coverage. However, network providers will charge for SMS usage.
The 2022 JAMB results have yet to be posted online as of the time of publication. Candidates can only check their results via SMS [for the time being, the Board has not uploaded the 2022 UTME results online].
Offline JAMB Result Checking (via SMS)
All candidates can now send UTMERESULT (no spaces) via SMS to 55019 or 66019, using the same phone number they used to register (you must have a credit balance of at least N50 on your line). The outcome would be sent to you as an SMS shortly after.
The following are the expected responses:
If a candidate enters a phone number that was not used to register, he will receive the following message: “This phone number was not used for registration.”
A candidate who has received a result will receive the following message: “Dear Mr/Miss X, your result is as follows… (and further information will be provided).
If a result is withheld, the candidate will receive a “Result Withheld” message.
Assume a candidate falls into the category receiving the benefit of the doubt. In that case, the person will receive the message: “Result withheld pending the upload of clarifications/documents required from you.”
If a candidate was absent, the feedback would be “CANDIDATE ABSENT.”
A candidate who was ABSENT WITHOUT REGISTRATION NUMBER AND CANCELLED will be informed of this.
A candidate who gains unauthorized access to the examination hall will receive the message “Invalid Entrance into the Exam Hall.”
