Here is how to Check JAMB 2024 results using SMS
To check the 2024 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) result, all a candidate needs to do is to send UTMERESULT to 55019 or 66019 using the same phone number that he/she used for registration.
After sending the SMS, the result will be returned as a text message.
This is the only process of checking the 2024 UTME results for now.
The following are the responses you should expect:
- If a candidate uses a phone number that was not used to register, a message will be sent to him thus: ‘This phone number was not used for registration.”
- A candidate with a result will receive the message: “Dear Mr/Miss X, your result is as follows… (and the details will be provided).
- If a result is withheld, a “Result Withheld” message will be sent to the candidate.
- If a candidate belongs to the category being given the benefit of the doubt, the message to the person will be: “Result withheld pending the upload of clarifications/document required from you.”
- If a candidate was absent, he or she would get “CANDIDATE ABSENT” as feedback
- A candidate that was ABSENT WITH REGISTRATION NUMBER also CANCELLED will be so informed.
- “Invalid Entrance into the Exam Hall” will be sent to a candidate who gained unauthorized access to the examination hall.”
