As the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) announces the results for the rescheduled 2025 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME), candidates need to be aware of the correct process to check their results and avoid mistakes. Recently, JAMB clarified that there were no high scorers in the cancelled UTME sessions from five South-East states and Lagos, where technical difficulties affected the exams. The Board reported that only a small number of candidates scored above 200, with 99% of participants scoring below 200. This debunks rumors suggesting that some candidates sought to keep their previous higher scores. In a statement issued, JAMB explained that any questions about candidates wanting to retain high scores from the cancelled sessions were baseless. It further warned against individuals attempting to exploit the situation for personal gain and discredit the exam process.
To check your 2025 JAMB results, simply send an SMS with the text “UTMERESULT” to 55019 or 66019 using the phone number you registered with. You will receive your result as a text message. This is the official method for checking results. Below are the possible responses you can expect:
-
If the phone number you used is incorrect, you will get a message saying, “This phone number was not used for registration.”
-
If you have a result, you will receive a message with your scores.
-
If your result is withheld, the message will state, “Result Withheld.”
-
If your result is under review, you will receive a message asking you to provide additional documentation.
-
If you were absent, you will be notified with the message “CANDIDATE ABSENT.”
-
If your registration number is cancelled, you will be informed accordingly.
-
If you were not authorized to enter the exam hall, you will receive a message stating “Invalid Entrance into the Exam Hall.”
Alternatively, candidates can check their results online by visiting the JAMB eFacility Portal. After logging in with the email address and password used for registration, simply click the “Check UTME Results” tab to view your results.
