PeterYou’ve finished the exam. You’ve waited. Now, you’re wondering, how do I check my JAMB result?
You don’t have to worry for long because this guide was made with you in mind.
Every year in Nigeria, countless students take part in the Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME). After taking such an important exam, it is very important to know how well you did in terms of grades.
For a lot of candidates, it is not always clear how to check the outcome. There are people who don’t understand the process, and some wonder if they should come to CBT centers or just manage it themselves online.
In this guide, we’ll go through each step one after another. If you prefer using your phone, computer, or even SMS, you’ll find the answers here.
Let’s get to it.
Things You Must Have Before Checking Your Result
Be prepared by making sure you have the following items before you check your result:
1. Your registration number for JAMB or your email address
2. A mobile telephone or computer using the internet
3. The number you added to your Jamb profile. [For SMS and OTP]
It’s no longer necessary to buy a scratch card or PIN. JAMB has gotten rid of that requirement. Checking your result doesn’t cost anything—provided you stick to the easy version.
Here’s How You Can Check Your JAMB Result Online
If you’re asking, how do I check my JAMB result online?
Follow this detailed step below.
Step 1. Visit the JAMB Result Portal.
Go to the JAMB official results website at [https://www.jamb.gov.ng].
On the homepage, find a section labeled “UTME Result Checking.”
Tap it.
Step 2: Enter Your JAMB Registration Number
A new webpage will be shown. This is the part where you will have to input your registration number, email address, or phone number. Please make sure all the details you input are correct to avoid problems in checking your result.
Step 3: Submit and View Your Result
Hit the “Check My Result” button on the page. If your result has been released, it will be displayed for you to see. You can check your mark for every subject as well as your overall score.
If you want to, you can save the result with a screenshot or print it out.
How Do I Check My JAMB Result by SMS?
You can also get your result delivered to your phone by text message. You might use this method if you can’t access online channels or have a smartphone.
Here’s how:
Step 1: Use the Phone Number You Registered With
Use the number you provided for JAMB registration. An elective’s results depend on that number.
Step 2: Send an SMS to 55019 or 66019.
Launch the SMS application and type:
“UTMERESULT”
Forward your message to one of these numbers: 55019 or 66019. Try to avoid writing with any additional spaces or words.
Step 3: Receive Your Result
A message with your JAMB scores will be sent to you. Since you’re checking with SMS, ensure that your account has at least ₦50 airtime.
How Do I Check My JAMB Result at a Computer-Based Test Center?
Getting your result through the internet or an SMS service is not always successful. It’s possible that the portal is offline. It’s possible that your phone number isn’t functioning properly.
Should you find your result absent from these sources, you can still get your result at a JAMB-approved CBT center.
Step 1: Find a CBT center close to your place.
Locate a center that is near you. You can click on JAMB’s website to see the information or speak to others who have applied.
Step 2: Make sure to bring your valid ID and registration number.
When you go, remember to take your JAMB registration number and your valid ID card. A token fee may be asked by some centers.
Step 3: Ask an Operator to Help
Talk to someone at the CBT center. The team will take care of printing and handing over your result.
Actions You Should Take After Viewing Your JAMB Result
You have checked your result now. What’s next?
Let’s go through the smart things to do:
1. Your result slip must be printed out.
If you checked your result on the website or through SMS, you have to print the official slip from the e-facility portal. Universities and polytechnics rely on this to select their students.
You can print it with your computer’s printer.
– Go to the website at https://efacility.jamb.gov.ng.
– Enter your email and password to start.
– Press the “Print Result Slip” button.
You might incur a small charge (about ₦1,000).
2. Make Sure Score Matches The Required Cut-off Mark
All schools and courses have their own cut-off mark. Make sure your score is enough for the university you are applying to.
3. Get set for the Post-UTME exam.
Various schools arrange for all candidates to participate in a post-UTME screening. Don’t wait until the last minute to begin preparing. Solve old exam questions and assemble your documents.
4. Make Sure Your Files Are Safe
Put your registration slip, result slip, and all other important documents somewhere safe. You’ll have to use them in the future.
