Important Notes

• A small fee may be required to check your result at a CBT center.
• You can also check your JAMB result online through the JAMB portal or via SMS.

The printed result from a cybercafe is not the original JAMB slip. The official JAMB result slip includes your passport photo and personal details. To obtain this, you will need to purchase a specific scratch card.

JAMB results are released in batches, so if your result is not available yet, check back later.

If you face any issues accessing your result, you can ask for assistance at the CBT center or contact JAMB support.
