The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board, (JAMB) yesterday released results of the 2021 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) for candidates who wrote the test between last Saturday and Tuesday.
The JAMB Head of Media, Fabian Benjamin, who disclosed this in an issued statement in Abuja, said the results for the subsequent tests would be released daily.
He directed candidates to check their results by sending: “UTMERESULT” to 55019, through the GSM number used by each candidate to obtain profile code and UTME registration.
Benjamin further said, “The Board notes with satisfaction that the utilisation of National Identification Number, (NIN), has 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 (closed-circuit television) footage and other technical gadgets for detection of possible examination misconducts.
“Extremely comparatively few results are being withheld for further 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”.
