The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) is responsible for administering the Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME). This yearly computer-based test is a prerequisite for gaining admission to universities, polytechnics, colleges, and other higher education institutions in Nigeria.
JAMB has announced the outcomes of the 2023 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME). The Board reported that 1,595,779 candidates enrolled for the exam, which was held at 708 Computer-Based Test (CBT) centres across 105 examination cities nationwide.
Candidates can now easily check their UTME results for 2023 and previous years either online or via SMS. To access your UTME result online; you’ll need a device with an internet connection. Alternatively, the SMS method may be more suitable for candidates without internet access or those in areas with limited network coverage. However, keep in mind that network operators may charge a fee for this service.

jamb results are expected or are usually released at least 48 hours after the results. But sometimes what causes delays is simply jamb trying to maintain credibility.
Let’s try to understand that some irregularities sometimes occur in some centers but most of these centers are being rounded up and delisting.
But when there are recorded or sensed abnormalities like malpractice, the result will be delayed until all abnormalities are corrected and those who practice examination malpractice are completely fished out.
They will also announce the number of those results withheld as a result of examination malpractice and other offensive actions carried out by students.
After all, actions are carried out against the culprits, the Joint Admission and Matriculation Board (JAMB) will announce the release of the results and they will give provide important stats on the number of students who failed or passed.

I want to check my jamb result via jamb portal 2023/2024
One of the fascinating things about checking your result on the jamb portal is that it gives you a complete breakdown and also gives you the option to print out your result in an acceptable format.
To make things easy for all Jambites — as students who sat for the UTME exam are fondly called —
the Board has put in place two platforms where you can easily check your result without hitches. These procedures include; the use of the UTME result checker and Short Message Service (SMS).
Meanwhile, notes that all candidates that were able to check their results via 55019 must still check their results on the jamb portal as the SMS/TEXT message format is only for an emergency.
