Candidates are required to use the phone number linked to their JAMB registration and ensure it has sufficient airtime, at least N50, before sending a request. By sending “UTMERESULT” to 55019, candidates will receive their scores via text message. The board said this remains the only approved method for now, as preparations continue to enable access to full result slips through its online portal.
