The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) is the authoritative body overseeing the Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) administration in Nigeria.
The UTME is an indispensable examination for candidates aspiring to gain entry into Nigerian tertiary institutions, including universities, polytechnics, and colleges of education.
After the examination, JAMB disseminates the results, enabling students to review their scores via the JAMB result checker. This article is dedicated to elucidating the process of checking your JAMB results.
How to Check JAMB Results With Registration Number
The JAMB result checker is an online portal that allows students to access their UTME results. You must have your JAMB registration number and a valid email address to check your result. Here are the steps to follow:
- Visit the JAMB result checker website (www.jamb.org.ng)
- Click on the “Check UTME Examination Results” link
- Input your JAMB registration number or the email address used during registration
- Click on the “Check Result” button
- Your JAMB score will be displayed, and you can download or print it from the www.jamb.org.ng result checker portal.
It is important to note that the JAMB result checker will only show your score and not your overall performance.
To assess your overall performance, you must visit the JAMB office or the institution where you sat for the examination.

How Long Will It Take for JAMB Result to Come Out
One of the most frequently asked questions by students who have taken the UTME is, “How long will it take for JAMB results to come out?”
The time it takes for JAMB results to be released depends on several factors.
This includes the number of candidates who took the examination, the number of centers where the study was held, and the number of papers written.
Generally, JAMB results are usually released within two to four days after the examination. However, in some instances, it may take longer for the results to be released.
For example, if there are any technical issues or problems with the examination papers, it may take more time for the results to be released.
It’s important to note that JAMB will not release the results until they have been thoroughly reviewed and verified. This process is essential to ensure the integrity and accuracy of the results.
For example, candidates who wrote on Saturday should expect their results to be ready by Monday at the latest.
Candidates who wrote on Monday will have their results out and ready by Wednesday, while candidates who took the jamb exams scheduled on Tuesday will have their results uploaded by Thursday.
