JAMB’s Clarification on Cancelled Results
JAMB has addressed concerns surrounding previously cancelled UTME sessions.

Claims about retaining higher scores from cancelled exams have been debunked as false. JAMB also warned against misinformation and confirmed that all results released are based on verified, credible data.
How to Check Your 2025 JAMB Resit Result
You can check your result using either SMS or the JAMB portal. Both methods are reliable, and you only need to choose the one most convenient for you.

To check your result via SMS, simply follow these steps:
Steps:
- Use the same phone number used during UTME registration.
- Type UTMERESULT (in uppercase, without spacing).
- Send it to 55019 or 66019.
Important Notes:
- Ensure the phone line has at least ₦50 airtime to cover the SMS fee.
- You will receive an automated response with your result details.
Possible SMS Responses:
| Scenario | SMS Message |
