The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has released the results of the 2023 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) conducted between Tuesday, 25th April, 2023, and Monday, 1st May, 2023.
A total of 1, 595, 779 candidates had registered to take the examination in 708 CBT centres in 105 examination towns in the country. It is, however, to be noted that the released results excluded those of candidates who were rescheduled to take their examination on Saturday, 6th April, 2023 including those absent and under investigation, as well as visually impaired candidates, which are undergoing processing.
According to a signed statement by the Boards spokesman, Dr Fabian Benjamin, candidates are expected to check their results by sending UTMERESULT to 55019 or 66019 using the same phone number used for registration and the result would be returned as a text message.
Also the released results, when checked by candidates, would return the status of the candidates.
” For instance, with respect to absent or rescheduled candidates, or those under investigation, the response would be: YOU WERE ABSENT, RESCHEDULED OR UNDER INVESTIGATION.
Therefore, only candidates who are not under any of these categories would have a returned result, he stated.
Benjamin also added that for the purpose of clarity, rescheduled candidates comprised unverified candidates and candidates at beautiful beginning CBT centre in Apo.
Others, he said, were candidates rescheduled to take the examination on April 27 but who could not receive their notification, candidates with reduced capacity and those with mismatch data.
Candidates under these categories were urged to print their slips on or before Thursday, May 4 and Friday, May 5, so as to know the time and venue of their examination.
“Candidates are to note that they would be grouped in a central location within their respective states to sit the examination.
“There is therefore need for them to print their notification slips latest by Thursday, May 4, so as to make sufficient arrangements to take their examination”, he said.
