What If Your Result Is Not Showing?

Several reasons could explain why your result isn't visible:

• Results released in batches: Not all results come out at once. Check back after a few hours or the next day
• Result withheld: JAMB may withhold results for suspected malpractice or exam irregularities. If this applies to you, JAMB will notify you
• Portal congestion: High traffic can cause delays. Try checking early morning or late night when fewer people are online
• Wrong login details: Ensure you're using the correct email and password

Understanding Your JAMB Score

Your UTME result shows:

• Individual scores for each of your 4 subjects (maximum 100 per subject)
• Aggregate score (total of all 4 subjects, maximum 400)

The general JAMB cut-off mark for universities is 140, while polytechnics and colleges of education may accept lower scores. However, competitive courses and institutions often require much higher scores.
