The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB), has published the 2021 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) results on Friday June 25. The board made the above revelation in a statement by its Head of Media, Dr Fabian Benjamin, on Friday morning. The board also added that results for subsequent days would be released daily, while urging candidates to check their results via messaging UTMERESULT to code 55019 through GSM number to obtain their results. The statement reads in part, “The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has released the results of candidates who sat in more than 720 Computer Based Testing (CBT) centres for the 2021 CBT centres for the 2021 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination conducted between Saturday, 19th and Tuesday, 22 June 2021.
“Each concerned candidate is advised to check his/her result by sending UTMERESULT to 55019 through the GSM number by each candidate to obtain profile code and UTME registration with the Board and their results would be relayed to them. Result for subsequent days would be released daily.
“The Board notes with satisfaction that the utilisation of NIN (National Identification Number) 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 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.”
