Joint Admissions and Matriculations Board has given reasons
why some results of the 2022 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination may not
be released.
JAMB released 2022 UTME results
on Saturday.
In an interview with PUNCH on Monday, Head, Public
Affairs and Protocol in JAMB, Dr Fabian Benjamin, listed reasons that could
lead to a candidate’s result being withheld.
Among the reasons stated by Benjamin are malpractice,
misconduct, breach of procedural processes, and incomplete review of centre.
He also urged candidates to check their results properly.
Benjamin said, “We have released results for this batch.
There are many factors that can lead to a result being withheld. It could be as
a result of examination malpractice, the candidate’s inability to conduct
himself or herself properly, a breach in procedural process or a review of the
centre.”
Earlier, JAMB in a bulletin vowed to withhold the results of
candidates found guilty of malpractices.
The bulletin read in part, “About 1.4 million candidates
have so far taken the examination across the nation, with some examination
towns and centres completing their own allotted number of candidates for the
year while the results of sessions already taken will be released to the
respective candidates.
“However, the release of these results is with a caveat that
after previewing the Closed Circuit Television footage of the conduct of the
examination, the result of any candidate found wanting would be withdrawn if it
had been released or withheld if not yet released.”
Fabian advised candidates to send UTMERESULT in one word to
55019 to have their results checked.
He said, “To check the 2022 UTME result, all a candidate
needs to do is to simply send UTMERESULT to 55019 using the same phone number
that he or she used for registration.
“The result will be sent as a response to the candidate’s
text message. This is the only process of checking the 2022 UTME results for
now as the board has not uploaded it on its website for obvious reasons.
“In addition, candidates are forewarned that they would, as
usual, receive all kinds of messages from desperate fraudsters on how to check
their results different from the aforementioned one.
“Hence, JAMB urges all candidates to ignore all such
messages on how to check their 2022 UTME results as they are all products of
deceit aimed at misleading them.”
Benjamin stressed that JAMB adopted the user-friendly and
simplified process of checking UTME results through the use of SMS to adhere to
the ease of doing business protocol of the government.
He added that the process was simplified to preclude the
unconscionable exploitation of candidates by shylock business centres and cyber
cafes which often took advantage of hapless candidates.
The 2022 UTME began on May 6 and would end on May 16.
