The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board, JAMB, has released 531 results of the 2024 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination, UTME.
The board proceeded with the screening of over 64,000 withheld results due to cases of examination misconduct. It has, however, released an additional 531 results taking the total number of results released to 1,842,897.
In the course of the exercise, other cases of examination misconduct were also established to make a tally of 92 from the 81 initially discovered while cases of unverified candidates are being reviewed and the board would soon come up with a position.
The Registrar, Prof. Ishaq Oloyede, had addressed certain misleading reports claiming that a non-participant in the board’s 2024 UTME had received scores, labeling these claims as false, harmful, and a deliberate effort to damage the board’s reputation.
The general public is urged to disregard such publications for they are fake, malicious, and have no details of the candidate for proper verification.
The board has taken measures to enhance the security of its result verification process to make it more personalized. The procedure, which should be simple, would now become more stringent to safeguard its systems from such malicious individuals.
The Registrar revealed that the board plans to incorporate additional security features such as registration numbers into the existing UTME result-checking process to prevent unauthorized alterations.
Candidates are advised to keep their personal details confidential. To check for the 2024 UTME results, candidates should send UTMERESULT to either 55019 or 66019, as the results are not yet available on the board’s website.
