JAMB Releases 279 Previously Withheld UTME Results After Investigation

The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board has announced the release of 279 UTME results previously withheld for further investigation.

According to the Board, the development followed ongoing investigations into suspected cases of examination malpractice during the Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME).

JAMB explained that while some results were cancelled after evidence of malpractice was established, others were released after investigations found no prima facie case against the affected candidates.

The Board further stated that results from centres flagged during live monitoring or linked to suspicious activities remain under investigation and may still be cancelled if sufficient evidence is discovered.

Affected 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 Adviser to JAMB.
