4 Methods to Check 2022 JAMB Results (Including the Original)

JAMB UTME 2022 Result

HOW TO CHECK YOUR JAMB UTME RESULT BOTH THROUGH THE SMS AND DIRECTLY ON THE JAMB PORTAL

This is to inform candidates who had written their UTMEs that the results are now released officially. Candidates can start checking directly on the JAMB portal.

Let me guide you on how to check your JAMB UTME results. JAMB result is equally termed notification of result. This, you’re able to print as soon as JAMB releases the score of your CBT exams. The result will contain:

1. Name of the candidates
2. JAMB registration number
3. Candidate’s Date of Birth
4. State of Origin
5. Exams Number
6. The name of the center where you sat for the exams
7. List of the subjects written and score in each

JAMB notification of results will not detail or show your:

1. Passport photo
2. Schools and courses of choice

How to Check JAMB Results Online

1. Use the SMS Method

Make sure you have the SIM card used for your JAMB registration active on your phone

1. Load at least N50 on it.
2. Send "UTMERESULT" in SMS to "55019"
3. N50 will be debited on your phone
4. Wait for your Result SMS message. The replying SMS will detail your grades by subject.
5. Lost your phone or SIM card? Unfortunately, there is no way to use another SIM to check. You can do Welcome Back of your line or follow the next method.

4. Print Original JAMB Results Online

There’s a big difference between the JAMB result (the one discussed above) and the one called the ORIGINAL JAMB RESULT.

Since you may not be able to print the notification of the UTME result, this year, using methods 2 and 3 above, you will resolve to method 4. That will work no matter what.


The original JAMB result will display more information than the notification of the result. It will further show:

1. Passport photo
2. Schools and courses of choice.

While candidates usually print the JAMB result for about N200 in local cafes, the printing of the original result will cost around N2,200. This price charge is because the original result involves paying JAMB about N1,700 (including online/Remita charges).

And note that it has to be printed in color which will increase a café’s service charge. You can do that yourself if you follow the How To Make Remita Payment at Bank and Online: Quick Guide.

Before now, in the past admission years, the printing of the original JAMB result didn't have to be immediate. You would mostly need it during your post-UTME registration and when the school's admission exercise begins or after being offered admission.

However, starting from the 2022 admission year, all candidates will have to pay for and print their original results if they want to have a paper copy of the result, or else, they will hold on to the SMS result till they're ready or in need of the original UTME result.

Why You Need To Immediately Print JAMB Result

We have had a series of reports in the past, regarding JAMB changes in the marks of some students after they’d already checked their results. Candidates, who had once checked the results on phones but never printed, them later complained of a reduction/increase in their scores after rechecking when they were ready to print out.

Most of these cases were confirmed true even though JAMB denied it.
