The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has officially released the results of the 2025 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME). If you participated in the exam, you can now check your result—but there’s an important update: results can only be accessed via SMS.
For years, the online result-checking portal has been non-functional, and JAMB has advised candidates to avoid wasting time trying to use it. Instead, follow this simple, accurate, and approved method to check your 2025 UTME result using just your phone.
Step-by-Step Guide to Check 2025 JAMB Result via SMS
Step 1: Use the Same Phone Number Registered with JAMB
- You must send the SMS from the phone number used during UTME registration.
- Using a different number will not return your result.
Step 2: Type the Correct SMS Format
- Open your phone’s messaging app.
- Type: UTMERESULT (no spaces, no punctuation).
Step 3: Send the Message to 55019 or 66019
- You can send the SMS to either 55019 or 66019—both numbers work.
Step 4: Wait for Your Result
Within seconds or minutes, you’ll receive a reply containing:
- Your full name
- JAMB registration number
- Total UTME score (out of 400)
- Subject-by-subject breakdown
Important Notes When Checking Your JAMB Result
✔ Ensure you have at least ₦50 airtime before sending the SMS.
✔ Do not spam the message—sending multiple times may delay or block your request.
✔ If there’s a delay, wait a few minutes before retrying.
✔ If your result is pending or under review, JAMB will notify you in the response.
Possible SMS Responses & What They Mean
- “Result withheld” – JAMB is investigating an issue from your exam.
- “Result under investigation” – Possible malpractice case detected.
- “You were absent” – JAMB has no record of you taking the exam.
- “No record found” – The phone number used does not match your JAMB profile.
Final Advice: Avoid Fake Result Portals!
⚠ Do not trust unofficial websites, agents, or cybercafés claiming to display JAMB results online. As of now, SMS is the only approved method for checking your 2025 UTME result.
For accurate and official updates, always refer to JAMB’s announcements via their verified channels.
