Every year in Nigeria, many students write the JAMB exam. This exam is very important because it helps you get into a university, polytechnic, or college of education. If you are a student who wrote the JAMB exam in 2025, you are probably waiting to see your result.
For some students, checking the result can be confusing, especially if it’s their first time. You might be asking questions like “How do I check my result?”, “Do I need internet?”, or “Can I use my phone?”. Don’t worry. You are not alone.
In this blog post, I will explain everything you need to know in a very simple way. I will show you how to check your JAMB result online and how to check it using SMS on your phone. You don’t need to know much about computers or phones to follow this guide.
Just read through, follow the steps, and you will be able to check your JAMB result by yourself without any stress. Let’s begin.
How To Check Your Jamb Results Online: Step By Step Guide
If you have a phone or computer with internet, you can check your JAMB result online. This is one of the easiest ways to see your score. Just make sure you have your JAMB registration number or the email address you used when registering for JAMB. Follow the steps below carefully:
Step 1: Open Your Browser
Go to your phone or computer and open a browser. This can be Chrome, Firefox, Opera, Safari, or any other browser you use.
Step 2: Go To The Jamb Result Portal
In the address bar at the top of your browser, type this link: www.jamb.gov.ng
Then press the “Enter” button. This will take you to the official JAMB website.
Step 3: Click On e-facility
When the JAMB homepage opens, look for a place that says “e-Facility” or “JAMB e-Facility”. Click on it. It will take you to a new page.
Step 4: Log In To Your Jamb Profile
Now you need to log in. Enter the email address and password you used when you registered for JAMB. If you don’t remember your password, click on “Forgot Password” and follow the instructions to reset it.
Step 5: Find And Click On Check 2025 Utme Result
After logging in, you will see different options. Look for the one that says “Check 2025 UTME Result” and click on it.
Step 6: See Your Result
Your JAMB result will appear on the screen. You will see your total score and the scores for each subject. If your result is not ready yet, it will say “No result yet”. That means you should check back later.
Step 7: Screenshot Or Print Your Result
You can screenshot your result with your phone or computer. If you want a paper copy, you can print it out. You may need this later when applying for school.
How To Check Your Jamb Result Using SMS: Step By Step Guide
If you don’t have internet or you cannot use a browser, don’t worry. You can still check your JAMB result using just your phone and a simple text message. This way is also easy, and you don’t need a smartphone or data. Just follow these steps:
Step 1: Open Your Message App
Go to your phone and open the app you use to send text messages. It’s usually called “Messages” or “SMS”.
Step 2: Type Your Jamb Registration Number
In the message box, type this word exactly: RESULT
Make sure you write it in capital letters. You don’t need to type your JAMB registration number. Just the word RESULT.
Step 3: Send The Message To 55019 or 66019
Now, send the message to this number: 55019 or 66019.
You can use any network, but make sure the SIM you are using is the same one you used when registering for JAMB. If you use a different number, it might not work.
Step 4: Wait For A Reply
After sending the message, wait a little. You will get a reply from JAMB. The message will show your total score and scores for each subject.
Note:
You must have at least 50 naira airtime on your line before you send the message. If you don’t have airtime, the message will not go through.
What The Reply Might Say
Sometimes, the reply may say “Result not yet released.” If you see this, don’t panic. It means JAMB has not uploaded your result yet. Just wait for a while and try again later.
That’s all. This method is very helpful if you do not have access to the internet. Just be sure to follow the steps correctly.
What To Do If Your Jamb Result Is Not Showing
Sometimes, you might try to check your JAMB result and it doesn’t show. This can make you feel worried, but don’t be scared. There are a few reasons why this can happen, and I will explain what you can do if this happens to you.
1. Your Result Is Not Yet Released
JAMB does not release all results at the same time. Some people will see their results early, while others may have to wait a little. If you check and see a message like “No result yet,” just be patient and check again after some time.
2. Network Problems
If your internet or phone network is poor, the result may not load properly. Try again when the network is better. You can also move to a place where the network is stronger.
3. You Entered The Wrong Details
If you type the wrong email, wrong password, or use the wrong phone number for SMS, your result will not show. Make sure all the details you use are correct.
4. System Or Website Error
Sometimes, the JAMB website might have too many people trying to check their results at the same time. This can make the site slow or make it stop working. If this happens, wait a few minutes and try again.
5. Issues With Your Exam
In some cases, JAMB may hold a result for checking. This can happen if there was a problem during your exam, like breaking the rules. JAMB will check everything before they release your result. If you didn’t do anything wrong, your result will come out.
What You Should Do
• Wait for some time and check again
• Make sure you use the correct phone number or email
• Make sure you have good network
• Try both the online method and SMS method
• Don’t panic or rush. Your result may just be delayed
If after many tries you still cannot see your result, you may need to visit a JAMB office or CBT centre near you for help.
How To Understand Your Scores
Let’s say you see something like this:
English – 70
Mathematics – 65
Chemistry – 55
Physics – 60
Total score – 250
This means you got 70 out of 100 in English, 65 in Mathematics, and so on. All the scores are added to give you 250 out of 400.
This helps you know the subjects you did well in and the ones you need to improve on next time, if needed.
What To Do After Checking Your Jamb Result
Now that you have seen your JAMB result, you might be asking yourself, what next? What should I do now? This part will help you understand the next steps you should take after seeing your score.
Check Your School’s Cut-off Mark
Each school and course has a score you must reach. This is called the cut-off mark. For example, if you want to study Medicine, the cut-off mark may be higher than someone who wants to study Sociology. Go to the website of your school of choice or ask around to know the cut-off mark for your course.
See If Your Score Meets The Cut-off
If your score is above the cut-off mark, that’s great. You can go ahead to the next step. If your score is lower, you can consider changing your course to something with a lower cut-off mark or choose another school.
Wait For Post-utme Form
After JAMB, most schools will ask you to write another test called Post-UTME. This is part of the admission process. You need to wait for the school to release the Post-UTME form. Check their website often so you don’t miss it.
Upload Your O’level Results To Jamb Portal
Make sure your WAEC or NECO results are uploaded to the JAMB portal. If they are not, it may stop you from getting admission. You can go to any CBT center to do this.
Consider Change Of Course Or School
If your JAMB score is too low for your chosen course or school, you can do a change of course or institution. JAMB allows you to do this, but it must be within a time frame.
Stay Updated With Your School’s Admission Process
Always check your school’s website or official social media pages for updates. They will post when the Post-UTME form is out and when admission lists are released.
Conclusion
Checking your JAMB result is just one part of your journey as a student. Whether your score is high or not so high, what matters most is what you do next. Stay calm, follow the right steps, and keep checking for updates from your school. Always make sure you upload your documents, prepare well for Post-UTME if needed, and ask for help when you are not sure of what to do.
Your JAMB score does not define your future. Many people who didn’t score high in JAMB still found success later in life. Keep trying, keep learning, and never give up on your dreams. Stay focused, believe in yourself, and trust that your hard work will pay off in the end.
