The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has announced that candidates who sat the 2024 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) can now print their original result slips.
According to a statement signed by JAMB’s spokesperson, Fabian Benjamin, the result slips can only be printed from approved Computer-Based Test (CBT) centres starting from Monday, 22 July 22.
The examination body, however, warned candidates to avoid printing their result slips from cybercafes or other internet-enabled platforms, saying this could expose them to fraudulent activities such as attempted score inflation.
The statement reads in part: “Please note that result slips cannot be printed from cybercafes or other internet-enabled platforms. Candidates are strongly advised to follow approved channels for printing and avoid falling victim to fraudulent activities, such as attempted score inflation, perpetrated by individuals seeking to exploit this process.”
JAMB further noted that the printed result slips capture the candidate’s photograph and advanced security features and “also serve as a secure and verifiable record of their results.”
The 2024 UTME was held between 29 April and 12 May, with over 1.6 million candidates registered to sit the exam. The examination was conducted in approved Computer-Based Test (CBT) centres across the country.
The results for the candidates have since been released via text messages to their mobile phones used for the registration, and the new update, according to JAMB, is for further authentication and record-keeping purposes.
