JAMB explains reasons for withholding some UTME results

...urges candidates to check their results properly.

e-naira: Jamb says applicants can now pay for UTME using digital currency
Share on FacebookShare on TwitterShare on Linkedin

The Joint Admission and Matriculations Board (JAMB) has provided reasons for the withholding of some results of the 2022 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME)

The examination body attributed the non-release of some of the 2022 UTME results to examination malpractices, misconduct, breach of procedural processes and incomplete review of centres.

According to Punch, this was made known by the Head, Public Affairs and Protocol of JAMB, Dr Fabian Benjamin, during an interview on Monday, where he listed these reasons and urged candidates to check their results properly.

JAMB releases 2025 UTME mop-up results across Nigeria 

July 6, 2025

What the JAMB spokesman is saying

Benjamin said, “We have released results for this batch. There are many factors that can lead to a result being withheld. It could be as a result of examination malpractice, the candidate’s inability to conduct himself or herself properly, a breach in procedural process or a review of the centre.”

JAMB had earlier in its bulletin vowed to withhold the results of candidates found guilty of malpractices.

The bulletin partly reads, “About 1.4 million candidates have so far taken the examination across the nation, with some examination towns and centres completing their own allotted number of candidates for the year while the results of sessions already taken will be released to the respective candidates.

“However, the release of these results is with a caveat that after previewing the Closed Circuit Television footage of the conduct of the examination, the result of any candidate found wanting would be withdrawn if it had been released or withheld if not yet released.”

What you should know

  • Recall that JAMB on Saturday, May 14, 2022, announced the release of the results of candidates who sat for the just concluded 2022 UTME, saying that it had not uploaded the results to its website for obvious reasons and as such advised on the process for checking the results.
  • Benjamin in his statement said that the candidates could check their results using the SMS code, advising them to send UTMERESULT in one word to 55019 to have their results checked.
  • About 1.7 million candidates were reported to have taken part in the 2022 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination nationwide in 755 registered computer-based centres.

        Jamb has created a lot of tension in many parents home. Jamb why!!! Jamb should release the results of these innocent students who did nothing like exam malpractice in anyway. Jamb has their CCTV cameras everywhere. These candidates are frustrated already because most of their colleagues have started Post UTME lectures. Where do you want them to start. Hidle minds is devil’s workshop. This is painful, think about it. From, On behalf of all mothers.

    There was nothing I mean nothing of such enumerated in my daughter’s (Okima) centre, which her result is yet to be released. I will advise that JAMB spokesman should Please kindly review properly before issuing a generalised statement.
    Also, parents should be informed if the results are still coming out, so as to avoid undue apprehension as these students are writing their exams.

    Seriously, All you guys do is to frustrate people that doesn’t have anything to do with the examination malpractice.

    I wrote on the 7th and my friends that I wrote before them,have received theirs,it’s not funny at all.

    This is actually my first time writing and if I don’t see that result,I’m definitely not writing again.

    Good day,
    Everyone has been complaining,yet there’s not a single response.if this continues how are we the student feel.
    Am a student also but am yet to see my result,several complaint had been made but we are yet to know the actual reason.
    For me i am not involved in examination malpractice;nor in any situation in the exam all.
    So we are pleading,our mates has seen theirs,we are yet to receive our own result.
    You are not encouraging us at all,but instead we want to further our education, learn,and excel in life please don’t stop our dreams by holding our result back.
    Thank you.
