1. Incorrect Registration Number or Invalid e-PIN

Candidates may receive an error message indicating that their registration number or e-Pin is incorrect.

  • Double-check the registration number entered to ensure it matches the one provided during registration.
  • If you are still encountering issues, contact JAMB support for assistance. They may request additional information to verify your identity and provide the correct registration number.
  • Ensure that you are using the correct e-PIN purchased specifically for checking results.
  • If the e-PIN is invalid, you may need to purchase a new one from authorized JAMB vendors or through the JAMB portal.

2. JAMB Website Overload or Down

JAMB portal may experience high traffic during this time, leading to server errors or slow response times.

  • Try checking your result during off-peak hours, such as early in the morning or late at night.
  • Ensure you have a stable internet connection and clear your browser cache before attempting to check again.

3. Unreleased Results, Withheld or Under Investigation

Some candidates may find that their results are not yet available or have been withheld for further investigation.

  • If your result is marked as “not yet released,” check back periodically as JAMB may be conducting additional verification.
  • For withheld results due to suspected malpractice, JAMB will provide further instructions on the next steps.

4. Unable to Find Result

Some candidates may experience this. This error means that either your registration number is incorrect or some other information your provided is incorrect.

6. SMS Errors

Candidates using the SMS method to check results may encounter errors if the format is incorrect or if there are issues with the mobile network.

  • Ensure you are using the correct SMS format: send “RESULT” followed by your registration number to 55019.
  • Check your mobile network signal and ensure you have sufficient airtime for the SMS charge (N50).
  • If the issue persists, try using the online method through the JAMB portal.

7. No Response

For candidates using the SMS method, sometimes there’s a delay in SMS response even after getting debited.

  • Ensure that the phone number you are sending the message from is the same phone number you used while registering for the 2025 UTME.
  • If you have confirmed that you are using the same phone number, kindly exercise patience. Network issues may cause delay in response. You can resend the message if it you do not get a response under 24hrs.

8. Network Connectivity Issues

Poor internet connectivity can prevent candidates from accessing their results.

  • Use a reliable internet service provider with a stable connection.
  • Consider using a different device or location with better network coverage.
