Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has released results of candidates of the supplementary Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) which was conducted between June 21st and June 22nd, 2024.
Gatekeepers News reports that JAMB’s spokesman, Fabian Benjamin has subsequently given out directions to candidates on how to check their results.
He said, “To check their supplementary UTME results, candidates are to send UTMERESULT to either 55019 or 66019 through the same phone number they had used to generate their profile codes at the start of registration.”
According to the spokesman; the supplementary examination was conducted for 28,835 candidates, who were not able to be biometrically verified during the 2024 UTME, thereby not able to sit for their examination.
Benjamin said, “Similarly, the other category of candidates were those suspected to have been involved in examination malpractices during the main UTME but who were given a second chance to sit the examination.”
“The exercise, which recorded a huge success nationwide, was marked by heightened security measures put in place by the Board to preclude any instance of examination infractions. As such, some nefarious characters, who had attempted to impersonate bona fide candidates were apprehended and handed over to law enforcement agencies for further investigation and prosecution.”
“The Board would continue to ensure that no candidate benefits from any acts of infractions through the deployment of state-of-the-art technology before, during and after its examinations.”
“Candidates are, therefore, urged, in their own interest, to refrain from engaging in any form of irregularity during their examinations. They are also enjoined to desist from soliciting score upgrades from fraudsters or engage in the mutilation of their result sheets while trying to generate fake result sheets with higher scores.”
