JAMB Releases Withheld UTME Results

The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has announced the release of 279 UTME results that were earlier withheld for further investigation.

According to the Board, the development follows ongoing investigations into suspected examination malpractice cases. JAMB disclosed that while some results have been cancelled after evidence of malpractice was established, others were released after investigations showed no prima facie case against the affected candidates.

The Board further stated that results from centres flagged by its live monitoring team for suspicious activities, or centres linked with adverse reports, remain under investigation and will continue to be withheld pending the outcome of the review process.

JAMB added that any candidate found culpable after investigations would have their results cancelled.

Candidates whose results are yet to be released have been advised to check their status by sending “UTMERESULT” to 55019 or 66019 using the same phone number used during registration.

The statement was signed by Fabian Benjamin, Ph.D., Public Communication Advisor (PCA), JAMB.
