How to check your JAMB UTME result
Check your UTME result in minutes by SMS or on the e-Facility portal — plus how to print your slip, track admission in CAPS, and dodge "result upgrade" scams.
Once JAMB releases UTME results, you can check yours in minutes — by SMS or on the e-Facility portal. Here's exactly how, how to print your result slip, where to track admission, and how to avoid the "result upgrade" scams that appear every year.
The fastest way: by SMS
Text UTMERESULT (one word, capitals, no spaces) to 55019 — from the same phone number you registered with. It must be the exact line used during registration, not a new SIM. A small fee (around ₦50) is deducted from your airtime, and your score is sent back by SMS within minutes.
Check online on the e-Facility portal
- Go to the official portal: efacility.jamb.gov.ng.
- Log in with the email and password you used to create your JAMB profile.
- Open the UTME result section and enter your registration number.
- Your subject scores and total appear on screen. Checking your result online is free.
Print your original result slip
The on-screen result is enough to see your score, but for admission you may need the original result slip (it carries your photo and full details). Print it from your JAMB profile on the e-Facility portal; JAMB charges a fee for the official slip (₦1,500 at the time of writing). Check the current amount on the portal before paying.
Track your admission in CAPS
Your score is not your admission. Once institutions begin offering places, monitor and accept or reject offers in CAPS (the Central Admissions Processing System), inside your JAMB profile. Log in regularly during the admission window so you don't miss an offer.
A word on results, batches and scams
- Results come in batches. If yours isn't ready yet, wait and check again later — it doesn't mean anything is wrong.
- No one can "upgrade" your JAMB score. Anyone on social media or WhatsApp who asks for money to boost a result is running a scam. JAMB results come only from the official SMS shortcode and the e-Facility portal — nowhere else.
- Keep your profile details private. Never share your JAMB password or registration number with strangers.
NECO and WAEC, briefly
- NECO — check at results.neco.gov.ng with a NECO result token and your registration number.
- WAEC — see our separate guide on checking your WAEC result with a result-checker PIN.
