JAMB Result: How to Check 2023 UTME Results Online or SMS

See how you can now check your 2023 UTME result online (via the JAMB result checking portal and offline (via SMS). The Joint Admission and Matriculation Board (JAMB) authority has announced that candidates who participated in its 2023 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination, otherwise known as UTME, can now check their results.

The Joint Admission and Matriculation Board (JAMB) is recognised by law to conduct entrance examinations into Nigeria’s various universities/polytechnics/colleges/other tertiary institutions.

Candidates that participated in the 2023 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) conducted between Saturday, 6th May and Sunday, 15th May 2022, can now check their results online or via SMS.

There are two options for checking JAMB results. Candidates can check their results online (through the JAMB portal) or via SMS (using JAMB shortcodes).

Using the online option is totally free, you only need an internet-enabled device to be able to check your result. The SMS option is good for candidates with no internet-enabled device or candidates in locations with a terrible network. However, network providers will charge for using the SMS option.

As of the time of this publication, the 2023 JAMB results are yet to be uploaded online. Candidates can only check their results via SMS [this is the only process of checking the UTME results for now as the Board has not uploaded it on its website for obvious reasons.]
