The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has disclosed that
candidates in the just-concluded 2020
Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination
(UTME) can now print their result notification slips.
The results which had earlier been made available through text to candidates on request by them but are now requesting for a printed version can now be printed free from the Board website: www.jamb.gov.ng.
All a candidate needs to do after visiting the site is to click on QUICK LINKS, then on “E-Facility” where the candidate would be required to provide his/her registration
details and the result notification slip would be displayed for printing.
The printing of the result notification slip is free as it is different from the original
result slips that comes with the candidate’s picture.
Candidates can print their result notification slip anywhere in the country
even from the comfort of their homes once there is internet access.
The Board has, until now, restricted the printing of result notification slips and
had made it available to candidates only through SMS to avoid anxiety on the part
candidates as well as prevent clustering at cybercafes with the attendant risk of COVID-19 contagion all in a bid to print result notifications.
This new development, however, is predicated on the gradual easing of the
lockdown and resumption of economic
activities in most parts of the country.
The Board wishes to advise candidates to
be wary of fraudulent elements
masquerading as JAMB agents stating
that it has not mandated any person or
group to do the printing on behalf of the
Board. Candidates are to note also that
delegating this responsibility to third
parties could result in wilful manipulation
of their results.
Recall that last year some candidates who
abused this privilege by attempting to
manipulate their scores were caught and
are currently saving various jail terms.
Candidates are advised to note that any
attempt to forge the slip would attract
stiff sanctions.
The decentralization of printing of result
notification slips was done mainly to
comply with the directives of the NCDC
and other relevant agencies on social
distancing. It is against this background
that the Board is urging candidates to
note and adhere strictly to other
precautionary health measures such as
wearing of face masks, washing of hands,
among others, in order to mitigate the
spread of the virus.
