The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has released vital information regarding JAMB results 2024 updates. In a recent post via their official X (formerly Twitter) handle, in response to a candidate’s inquiry, JAMB emphasised that the only way to access your 2024 UTME results is through SMS verification.
This update signifies a shift from previous years where candidates could access their JAMB results 2024 online through the JAMB portal. Here’s what you need to know:
- SMS Verification Only: To check your JAMB results 2024, you must send the SMS command “UTMERESULT” (without quotes) to either 55019 or 66019.
- Registered Phone Number Essential: Ensure you use the same phone number you employed during JAMB profile code generation. This ensures the results are delivered to the authorised candidate.
- No Online Access: Unlike previous years, JAMB results 2024 will not be accessible through the JAMB website. The board is solely relying on SMS verification for this year’s exercise.
JAMB encourages all candidates who participated in the 2024 UTME to access their results using the SMS verification method.
