Step-by-Step Guide to Check 2025 UTME Result via SMS

Step 1: Use the Same Phone Number You Used During Registration

You must send the message from the phone number that was used to register for the UTME. If you send it from a different line, you won’t get a result.

Step 2: Type the Correct SMS Format

Open your phone’s text message app and type:

UTMERESULT

There should be no space or punctuation in the message.

Step 3: Send the Message to 55019 or 66019

Send the message to 55019 or 66019. Either number works for this service.

Step 4: Wait for Your Result

In a few seconds to a few minutes, you will receive a text message from JAMB containing your:

• Full name
• JAMB registration number
• Total UTME score (out of 400)
• Score breakdown by subject

Important Notes

• Make sure you have at least ₦50 airtime on the phone.
• Avoid sending the message multiple times in a row. If it delays, wait a few minutes before retrying.
• If your result is not yet available or is being reviewed, JAMB will notify you in the SMS response.

Possible SMS Responses You May Receive

• “Result withheld” – Your result has been withheld due to an issue during the exam.
• “Result under investigation” – You are under review for a suspected case of malpractice.
• “You were absent” – JAMB recorded that you didn’t take the exam.
• “No record found” – The number used to send the SMS does not match your JAMB profile.

Final Advice

Please do not rely on unofficial websites, agents, or cyber cafés claiming to show your result online. As of now, the only approved and working method for checking your 2025 UTME result is via SMS.

For your safety and to avoid misinformation, always refer to JAMB’s official announcements and channels.
