The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board has assured candidates of the 2019 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) that results would be ready from April 29.
The Board’s Head of Media and Publicity, Dr Fabian Benjamin, disclosed this in a recent interview held on Saturday in Bwari.
Dr Benjamin said that screening of the results would soon be over and the results will be released.
He also spoke on the board’s readiness to screen results of UTME candidates from 2009 to 2018, Benjamin said this would begin after the release of the 2019 results.
According to him, this was part of the board’s effort to address the issues of malpractice in the system.
The board had stated that it would only release the 2019 UTME results after undergoing thorough screening to identify and apprehend those involved in various forms of examination malpractice.
The aim of the process is to identify those involved in multiple registration through biometric capturing and also address group registration by some elite schools, who end up mixing candidate’s data.
JAMB said that effective from when it would officially release the results, all candidates can simply send RESULT, via SMS, to 55019 using the same number that was used for registration. The result, would be replied as an SMS shortly after.
