JAMB releases some 2021 UTME results, withholds others

JAMB releases 2023 mock-UTME results

The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has released the results of candidates who sat in more than 720 Computer-Based Test (CBT) centres for the 2021 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) conducted between Saturday, 19th and Tuesday, 22 June 2021.

The board in a statement on Friday signed by its spokesperson, Fabian Benjamin, directed all concerned candidates 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.

The board informed that the result for subsequent days would be released daily.

It however informed that few results are being withheld for further investigation, stating that it would not hesitate to withdraw the results of any candidate subsequently found to have committed any form of examination misconduct.

The Board further expressed satisfaction with the utilisation of the National Identification Number (NIN), explaining that it 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.

“Nevertheless, the Board would still review all the CCTV footages and other technical gadgets for detection of possible examination misconducts”, the statement said.
