The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB), on Saturday, released results of the recently conducted 2022 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME).
JAMB also outlined the process for checking the results of the 2022 UTME, which was conducted between Friday, May 6, 2022 and Friday May 13, 2022.
The announcement of the release of the results was contained in a statement by JAMB’s Head, Public Affairs and Protocol, Dr Fabian Benjamin.
The statement read, “To check the 2022 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) result, all a candidate needs to do is to simply send UTMERESULT to 55019 using the same phone number that he/she had used for registration and the result would be returned as a text message.”
The JAMB spokesman said this is the only process of checking the 2022 UTME results, for now, as the Board had yet to upload it on its website for obvious reasons.
It added, “In addition, candidates are forewarned that they would, as usual, receive all kinds of messages from desperate fraudsters on how to check their results different from the aforementioned one. Hence, the Board urge all candidates to ignore all such messages on how to check their 2022 UTME results as they are all products of deceit aimed at misleading them.”
JAMB, he said, in line with its desire to adhere to the ease of doing business protocol of the government, had put in place this user-friendly and simplified process of checking UTME results.
He further said that this simplified process would also serve to check the exploitation of candidates by shylock business centres and cybercafes fond of taking advantage of innocent candidates.
