The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has denied reports of error in the scoring of candidates in the just concluded 2022 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME).
This is as the examination body has warned the public, especially candidates at the just concluded UTME against the deceitful and other unsavoury activities of fraudsters who were making false claims of errors in the scoring system.
This disclosure is contained in a statement issued by JAMB’s Head, Public Affairs and Protocol, Dr Fabian Benjamin, and made available to journalists in Abuja on Tuesday.
Benjamin said that the board is insisting that the UTME was a Computer Based Test (CBT) that was scored electronically with no human mediation whatsoever, as well as debunked rumour of plans to organize another UTME.
What the JAMB’s spokesman is saying
Benjamin in the statement said, “Consequently, the unfounded rumours making the rounds are nothing but the products of the deceitful brains of the masterminds of these baseless imputations.
“Hence, the board reiterates that there is no room for errors in its electronic scoring system nor does it plan to organise another UTME.
“This clarification became necessary following reports of a purported rescheduling of the UTME from a section of the social media citing phantom errors in the computer scoring system and a purported apology from JAMB to the effect that another UTME would be organised.
“The board wishes to state that the report is not only false, mischievous, but also misleading and crafted out of the frustration and inability of these fraudsters to dupe unsuspecting candidates owing to the series of innovative strategies the board had put in place to protect candidates.’’
JAMB reiterates warning against fraudsters
Benjamin also recalled that the board had envisaged some of the strategies of these nefarious individuals and had sounded a note of warning to the candidates and the general public alike.
- This is to guard against the possibility of them falling victims of the evil machinations of fraudsters.
- He said, “JAMB, once again, advises the general public to disregard this item of news as it does not emanate from JAMB nor has it authorised any individual or group to make such a pronouncement on its behalf.
- “The board, therefore, advises candidates to avail themselves of its user-friendly advisories on assessing their 2022 UTME results and other processes through periodic visits to www.jamb.gov.ng.’’
What you should know
- Recall that JAMB on Saturday, May 14, 2022, announce 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.
- 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.
- The examination body had while releasing the results of the examination, warned candidates against desperate fraudsters who will send all kind of messages on how to check their results through different means from the one directed by JAMB, asking them to ignore such messages.
Please, what about we that our exam date was rescheduled without informing us.
I got to jamb Exam Center for the exam on Wednesday 11th May 2022 where we were told that there is no exam. I was surprised, then the man we saw directed us to thier number 1 center and she we got there we met a lot of candidate like us there too. But having the same issues.
Later I decided to check my exam slip portal and then I noticed that the exam center, location, time has changed to 6th May 2022
“The first day of the exam!!!!!”

My UTME result is not yet released, why is that so?
A sister of mine wrote 2021 UTME and she scored below 180,so she decided on writing 2022 UTME using the same phone number she used for the 2021 UTME exam and when the result was out,she was told to check it using SMS ,which she did,but the saddest part is that after checking it using SMS ,it was the exact score for 2021 UTME she saw. Pls am so sure there is a mistake somewhere. Pls wot shld she do in a situation like this oooooo,bcos she e is happy and so sure the score is not hers.
Please 🙏 I tried checking my jamb result via SMS and i got a reply that my result is not yet released and i wrote my exam 1day please i need to know the reason
Pls i have been texting UTMERESULT to 55019 since Sunday till date i not seen my 2022 jamb result and no reply of any kind yet
Pls me sir, On May 12 2022 on Thursday, I did my exam. According to the Jamb news, we were told to reply them with UTMERESULT with the number we use for our registration.And I did it,they do not deduct 50naria and did not reply me what the problem
Even if there were errors, JAMB probably wouldn’t admit it.
I just hope they finally put the results up on the portal
When will the jamb portal link be open
Hello sir. Pls I haven’t Checked my result due to the fact that I lost my sim and as the case may be I can’t retrieve it.pls sir can I link my current sim to jamb portal and check my result with it. Pls I need answers sir.
Am 100% sure that 147 is not my score am confused about this jamb . I think us checking our results through SMS is a mixed up
Pls sir,my sim was blocked and the service providers said i cant retrieve it so am unable to check my result what do i do now?pls sir i need answers pls
April 30 I printed my slip and I saw may 11
But jamb said they won’t be rescheduling this year’s exam.
But on that may 11, we were told that there is no exam. I was angry and unhappy at the same time and don’t even know what to do.
I decided to login to check my exam slip again and then it was rescheduled to may 6, 2022 (Friday) and the most surprising thing is that am not the only one and jamb didn’t inform us about any rescheduling of exam.
Atleast if exam slips are out jamb will publish it
If the result is out, everyone will know
If there is exam malpractice everyone will know
But when they reschedule our exam date to the back they didn’t inform anyone.
Is that fair?
I don’t even know what to do
This is my third jamb hoping to do this upon all my reading and studying since all these days.
My parents are not happy because of this.
And those jamb officials told us to write letter that they will send it to Abuja
Till now we haven’t heard from jamb.
I’m 2022 UTME candidate but I can’t see my result, I don’t know what’s going on.
My jamb result is not out yet
