How to differentiate between fake and original JAMB result
Here are three ways to spot a fake UTME score, according to Fabian Benjamin, JAMB's Head of Protocol and Public Affairs:
01. Scan the QR code
You can scan the QR code on your result slip, which will reveal the details about your result, such as your score, subject combination, and registration number.
02. Thoroughly check the candidate's photo
The candidate’s photo will appear prominently on the result slip, along with the JAMB logo and watermark.
03. Watermark of registration number
The watermark of the candidate’s registration number should be visible on the result slip as a security feature to prevent forgery or alteration.
In conclusion, Benjamin said it is important to be vigilant and cautious when dealing with JAMB results, as many scammers may try to deceive unsuspecting candidates or institutions.
By checking the JAMB portal, the security features, and the details of the result slip, one can differentiate a fake JAMB result from an original one and avoid being duped or misled.

Meanwhile, Legit.ng reported that Ejikeme Mmesoma, the teenage girl accused of falsifying her Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) result, has finally admitted to scoring less than she had earlier claimed.
As reported by Daily Trust, the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB), through its spokesperson, Dr Fabian Benjamin, disclosed that Mmesoma had lied about scoring 362 out of a possible 400 points.
Her actions forced the examination board to slam her with a three-year ban from sitting for the examination.
