June 25, (THEWILL) – The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has announced the release of the results of candidates who sat in more than 720 CBT centres for the 2021 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination.
The examination was conducted between Saturday, 19th and Tuesday, 22nd June 2021.
JAMB, in a statement on Friday by the Head of Information and Media, Fabian Benjamin, noted that each concerned candidate is advised to check his/her result by sending UTMERESULT to 55019 through the GSM number used by each candidate to obtain profile code and UTME registration with the Board and their results would be relayed to them; adding that result for subsequent days would be released daily.
The Board also noted with satisfaction that the utilisation of NIN (National Identification Number) helped in curbing examination malpractices as the 2021 UTME has recorded the least incidence of irregularities since the inception of the CBT examinations in Nigeria.
Benjamin said nevertheless, the Board would still review all the CCTV footages and other technical gadgets for detection of possible examination misconducts.
JAMB however noted that some candidate’s results are being withheld pending the outcome of its investigation.
“In addition, the Board would not hesitate to withdraw the results of any candidate subsequently found to have committed any form of examination misconduct,” JAMB warned.
