After careful investigation by Fatshimetrie, it was revealed that confusion persisted among candidates on how to view their 2024 UTME results. Despite the official release of the results by the Joint Examination Council of Nigeria , printed results started circulating on social media, causing confusion among the aspirants.
In an official statement, the body’s spokesperson, Fabian Benjamin, clarified that the 2024 UTME results are not available in paper form and cannot be viewed on the JAMB website. The only way to access this year’s results is to text UTMERESULT to 55019 or 66019, using the phone number registered during UTME registration. It is imperative that the SIM card does not have a current plan at the time of verification.
It is essential that candidates exercise vigilance and be wary of any person or candidate displaying a printed result on social media. The call is made to avoid going to internet cafes or relying on third parties to view the results, to avoid confusion or potential fraud.
The Council released the 2024 UTME results on Monday, April 29, 2024, with some eye-opening statistics. Of the 1,842,464 results published, only 0.4% of candidates obtained more than 300 points, while 24% obtained a score greater than or equal to 200 out of 400. Conversely, 76% of candidates obtained less of 200 points.
Professor Ishaq Oloyede, the JAMB Registrar, also announced that the name of the highest scoring candidate in the 2024 UTME will not be revealed. This decision aims to promote equality and avoid any unnecessary pressure on candidates.
In conclusion, aspirants should follow the official JAMB instructions to check their results, and avoid spreading misleading information on social media. Transparency and integrity in the review process are essential to ensure a fair and reliable assessment of candidate performance.
