JAMB 2025 UTME Results Now Available: Complete Guide to Checking Your Scores via SMS

The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has released the 2025 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) results. Candidates can now check their scores using the SMS method. Here's everything you need to know about retrieving your results.

How to Check Your JAMB 2025 Results via SMS

The quickest way to access your UTME results is through SMS. Follow these steps:

1. Ensure you have at least ₦50 airtime credit on your phone
2. Compose a new SMS message
3. Type UTMERESULT (all capitals, no spaces)
4. Send the message to 55019 or 66019
5. Wait for the response containing your subject scores

Important Requirements

Before attempting to check your results, confirm that:

• You're using the same phone number you registered with during UTME registration
• Your phone has sufficient airtime balance (minimum ₦50)
• The SMS code is typed exactly as shown: UTMERESULT
• You send the message to the correct short code (55019 or 66019)

The ₦50 charge will be automatically deducted from your airtime when you send the SMS.

Understanding Your Results

When your result arrives via SMS, it will display:

• Your scores for each of the four subjects you sat for
• Your total aggregate score (out of 400)
• Your examination session details

Keep this information secure as you'll need your scores for Post-UTME registration at your chosen institutions.

What to Do If You Can't Access Your Results

Network Delays

Some candidates experience delays depending on their network provider. If you don't receive a response within 5 minutes, try the alternative short code. JAMB provides two numbers (55019 and 66019) specifically to manage network congestion.

Wrong Phone Number

You must use the exact phone line you provided during JAMB registration. If you no longer have access to that number, visit the nearest JAMB office with your registration slip and valid identification.

Result Under Review

If the SMS system indicates your result is not yet available, your examination may be undergoing routine verification. This is a standard JAMB procedure and doesn't indicate any problems with your exam.

Visiting a JAMB Office

If you encounter persistent technical issues with the SMS method, you can check your results at any accredited JAMB office. Bring:

• Your JAMB registration number
• A valid means of identification (National ID, voter's card, or student ID)
• Your examination registration slip

Sharing Your Results Safely

Many candidates celebrate their achievements by sharing results on social media or student forums. When sharing, include only:

• Your subject-by-subject scores
• Your total aggregate
• Your intended university and course

Never share: Your JAMB registration number, personal phone number, email address, or full name publicly. This information could be misused by fraudsters.

Next Steps After Checking Your Results

Once you've confirmed your JAMB score:

1. Compare your score with the cut-off marks for your chosen institution and course
2. Monitor your university's website for Post-UTME registration announcements
3. Register for Post-UTME screening when your institution opens the portal
4. Keep your JAMB result and registration number readily available for all applications

Remember that JAMB scores remain valid for one admission cycle. If you don't gain admission this year, you'll need to write UTME again for the next session.

Congratulations to all candidates who performed well! For those who didn't achieve their target scores, remember that JAMB offers supplementary examinations and you can always try again next year with better preparation.
