JAMB Releases 279 Previously Withheld UTME Results

The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board says it has released 279 UTME results that were earlier withheld for further investigation into suspected examination malpractice.

In a statement by its spokesperson on Thurday, JAMB said the released results are in addition to those previously published by the Board following earlier phases of review.

The Board explained that some results were cancelled where clear evidence of malpractice was established, while others were released after investigations found no prima facie case against the affected candidates.

It added that results from centres flagged for suspicious activities or those under ongoing review remain withheld pending further investigation.

JAMB advised candidates whose results are yet to be released to check their status by sending UTMERESULT to 55019 or 66019 using the phone number used for registration.
