The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has released results of the 2023 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) conducted between April 25 and May 1.
In a statement yesterday, the Board said 1, 595, 779 candidates registered for the examination in 708 Computer Based Test (CBT) centres across 105 towns nationwide.
The Board said: “It is, however, to be noted that the released results excluded those of candidates rescheduled to take their examination on May 6; those absent; those under investigation, as well as those of visually impaired candidates, which are undergoing processing.”
Following the release of the results, therefore, for anxious candidates and their parents and guardians, here are useful tips to check the 2023 UTME result via SMS.
“To check the results, all a candidate needs to do is to simply send UTMERESULT to 55019 or 66019 using the same phone number that he/she used for registration and the result would be returned as a text message.
“Also to be noted is the fact that the released results, when checked by candidates, would return the status of the candidates. For instance, with respect to absent or rescheduled candidates, or those under investigation, the response would be: YOU WERE ABSENT, RESCHEDULED OR UNDER INVESTIGATION. Therefore, only candidates, who are not under any of these categories that would have a returned result.”
