The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) recently released the first set of results for this year’s Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME).
Common Mistakes Faced When Checking JAMB UTME Results
If you haven’t been able to check your result yet, it is likely due to an error on your end. In this article, we will discuss the common errors faced when checking JAMB UTME results and provide their possible solutions.
There are two methods to check your results: online and via SMS. Let’s delve into the details and help you resolve any issues you may encounter.
Errors Faced When Checking UTME Results Online:
- Visiting the Wrong Website: Many UTME candidates are unsure which website to visit when checking their results. JAMB doesn’t provide extensive guidance on this matter, but it’s essential to know the correct website. The official website to check your JAMB results is www.jamb.org.ng. Proceed to the next point for the steps to check your results online.
- Entering the Wrong JAMB Registration Number: Your JAMB Registration Number is a unique 10-digit alphanumeric code assigned to you during your registration. It is crucial to enter the correct registration number to access your results. The registration number starts with eight numbers and ends with two alphabets (e.g., 12345678AB). Remember that the registration number is different from the center number. This year’s registration numbers begin with “10…”. If you input the wrong registration number, you may either view someone else’s result or encounter an error message.
- Network Issues: When using online platforms, network issues can prevent you from checking your result. Ensure that you have a stable internet connection when attempting to access your result.
By following these three points, you should now be able to view your result online. Let’s move on to the next section, which covers errors when checking results via SMS.
Errors Faced When Checking UTME Results Using SMS:
- Sending the Wrong Message: To check your result via SMS, type “UTMERESULT” in all capital letters. Some candidates have reported not receiving their results when they use lowercase letters or type “UTMERESULTS” instead. Remember to send the correct message format.
- Sending the Message to the Wrong Recipient: To check your result via SMS, send the message to 55019. Double-check the number to ensure accuracy when sending the message.
- Sending the Message Using the Wrong Number: When sending the SMS, use the same phone number you registered with JAMB. If you misplaced your phone or SIM card, you need to do a welcome back process with your network provider. Once you have successfully retrieved your number, proceed to send the message.
If you still haven’t been able to check your result, it is recommended to visit a CBT center or the nearest JAMB office for assistance.

FAQs
What should I do if my JAMB result shows “No Result Yet”?
This message may appear for a variety of reasons, such as technical glitches or the fact that your result is still being processed. In some cases, it could be due to exam malpractice suspicions. It is advised to wait a few days and check again. If the issue persists, contact JAMB support or visit a JAMB office for assistance.
Why do I get the error “Invalid e-PIN” when checking my JAMB result?
The “Invalid e-PIN” error typically occurs when a candidate enters incorrect or expired e-PIN details. Ensure that you are using the correct PIN linked to your profile. If the issue continues, it might be due to a problem with the JAMB portal. In this case, contacting JAMB support can help resolve the issue.
What does it mean if I receive the message “Result Not Found”?
If you encounter a “Result Not Found” message, it could mean that your result has not been uploaded to the JAMB portal yet, or there was an error during your exam process. Ensure that you entered the correct registration number. If the problem persists after several attempts, visit a JAMB office or their official website for further inquiries.
