The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board, JAMB, has announced the release of the 2022 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination, UTME, results.
JAMB, in a statement by its Head of Public Affairs and Protocol, Dr Fabian Benjamin, over the weekend, outlined process for candidates to check their results.
It would be recalled that no fewer than 1,730,947 candidates sat for the examination which began on Friday, May 6, 2022 and terminated on May the 13, 2022.
The board said to check the result, candidates are to text “UTMERESULT” as one word to 55019 and their results world be sent through a tex message to them.
“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.
“This is the only process of checking the 2022 UTME results for now as the Board has not uploaded it on its website for obvious reasons,” the statement said.
JAMB also warned candidates that desperate fraudsters would as usual, send all kinds of messages to them 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.
“The Board, in line with its desire to adhere to the ease of doing business protocol of the government, has emplaced this user-friendly and simplified process of checking UTME results.
“Furthermore, this simplified process would also serve to preclude the unconscionable exploitation of candidates by shylock business centres and cybercafes which often take advantage of hapless candidates,” it said.
