How to Check JAMB Score
The UTME exams are over, and the wait for results can feel like an eternity. Fear not, future Nigerian scholars! This blog post is your ultimate guide on how to check your JAMB score, transforming that nervous anticipation into glorious knowledge (or at least, the knowledge of where to find it).
Here are the two main methods to access your JAMB score:
Method 1: The JAMB eFacility Portal – Your Digital Scoreboard
1. Gird your loins (metaphorically, of course) and head to the JAMB eFacility Portal: This is your official score haven. You can access it by visiting https://efacility.jamb.gov.ng/login on any web browser (desktop or mobile).
2. Login like a boss: Enter the email address and password you used during your JAMB registration.
3. Behold! The Result Awaits: Once logged in, navigate to the “Check UTME Results” section (it might be phrased slightly differently, but you’ll get the gist). Click the designated button, and your JAMB score will be displayed in all its glory.
Method 2: Texting Your Way to Results – For the Tech-Savvy Texter
1. Open your trusty messaging app: This method is perfect for those who prefer a quick SMS solution.
2. Craft your message: In a new message, type “RESULT” (all caps) followed by a space and your JAMB Registration Number (e.g., RESULT 12345678910).
3. Send it to the JAMB result hotline: Hit send and dispatch your message to either 55019 or 66019, the official JAMB result SMS numbers.
4. Patience is a virtue (but hopefully not for too long): JAMB will reply with a text message containing your UTME scores for each subject you took.
Bonus Tip:
Download and print your result: Having a physical copy of your JAMB score might be handy for future reference. The JAMB eFacility portal allows you to download and print a copy of your result for safekeeping.
Remember:
JAMB results are typically released a few weeks after the UTME exams. Be sure to check the official JAMB website for the latest updates on result release dates.
So, there you have it! With these methods at your disposal, checking your JAMB result is a breeze. Now go forth, conquer the next stage of your academic journey, and remember – we believe in you!
