is it possible to Check JAMB result 2023 with SMS? Yes, this method was introduced by the JAMB registrar, Professor Ishaq during his first UTME/DE examination as JAMB Head, where candidates are given the option of quickly checking their results via SMS.
Unlike the old method where candidates can check their JAMB result with registration number only and it’s free. This method will cost anyone who uses it, at least, N50 airtime balance.
It’s no longer breaking news that the Joint Admission and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has decided to finally release candidates’ results online after the examination ends. Candidates who participated in the 2023 JAMB examination can easily check their performance grades without going online.
After the 2023 examination ended, millions of candidates (According to the statistics released by JAMB, 1.6 million candidates registered for the 2023 examination) were worried and wondered what’s the problem and if everything is alright with the just concluded UTME examination.
Surely, you are now aware that there are various and diverse methods candidates can use in checking their results online, However, the easiest of these methods is the SMS/text messages, where you can get your result by sending Result to the official JAMB shortcode, 55019.
Now you’ve known everything you need to know about checking your result via SMS, here is how to send the SMS in the right format so as not to get a rejection or failure in response along the line and loss your N50.
