The long wait for the Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) results is over, JAMB has finally started releasing results. My aim is to show you how to check your JAMB result online or through SMS. Candidates can access their results via the JAMB webpage or by SMS (using JAMB shortcodes).
For the online alternative, all you need is an internet-connected device to check your results. If you do not have access to the internet or you live in an area with poor network coverage, you should use the SMS option. Though network providers, on the other hand, will charge for SMS usage.
Important Information
You can check your result using any of the methods discussed below. However, the result checking process is NOT FREE, and you may be required to pay a fee depending on the method you choose. Also, ensure that you have your JAMB Registration Number handy before checking your result, as it will be required in all the methods discussed below.
For the record, the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) is a Nigerian entrance examination board that conducts exams for prospective undergraduates into Nigerian universities, polytechnics, and colleges of education. The JAMB exam is a very important exam that can determine whether or not you gain admission into any tertiary institution in Nigeria.
In this article, we will discuss the various ways to check your JAMB exam result.

Once your result is sent to your email, you can access it at any time.
Possible Responses You May Get While Checking for Your Result Are:
- “Dear Mr/Miss…, your jamb result is as follows…”: This means your jamb result is ready and the notification will include your exam score details.
- “This phone number was not used for registration” – Just as it says, this usually occurs if you didn’t use the same phone number used during registration to check your result. Please make sure to use the same phone number you used in registering for the JAMB exam.
- “Result Withheld”: This means your result is withheld for whatever reason(s).
- “Result withheld pending the upload of clarifications/document required from you“: Due to one reason or another, if your result is being investigated, you may be required to upload some documents before it is released.
- “Candidate Absent”: You can get this notification if you were absent during the exam, regardless of your reason.
- “Invalid Entrance into the Exam Hall”: If you were not cleared properly before entering the exam hall, you may get this message.
NOTE:
- If your JAMB score is ready, the platform will provide you with your JAMB Notification of Result. Then, you can get a printed copy.
- If you encounter any difficulties checking your result, it is advisable to contact JAMB support via email (support@jamb.gov.ng) for assistance.
