How to Check Jamb Result in 2025 (via sms phone, online portal)

If you took the 2025 JAMB (UTME), you’re probably eager to see your result. Good news: there are two main ways to check your JAMB result. One is online, and the other is via SMS. Below, you’ll find a simple, step-by-step breakdown of how to use both methods.

How to Check JAMB Result Through SMS (on phone)

The sms way is the most convenient for every student. No need for Internet or big phones, just any phone and a little airtime. Follow the steps highlighted below

1. On the phone number you used when you registered for JAMB, open your messaging app.
2. Type UTMERESULT (one word, in capital letters). This is the exact keyword JAMB uses.
3. Send the message to 55019 or 66019.
4. Make sure you have at least ₦50 airtime, because this SMS method costs you.
5. Wait a few minutes. You should receive an SMS back with your JAMB result: your name, your subject scores, and your total score.
6. Possible SMS responses: you might see messages like: “Result Withheld,” “Candidate Absent,” or even “This phone number was not used for registration” if something is wrong.

How to Check JAMB Result Online (through efacility portal)

One of the easiest way to access your jamb result is online, through the efacility portal. Follow the steps below to check

1. Open your web browser (on your phone or computer) and go to the JAMB e-Facility portal: https://efacility.jamb.gov.ng/
2. Log in with your email address and password — the same ones you used for registration.
3. Once you’re logged in, look for “Print Result Slip” on your dashboard.
4. Click on “Print Result Slip.” JAMB may ask you to enter your registration number and the exam year (2025).
5. To print, you will need to pay a small fee. Some sources say ₦1,000–₦1,500, while others mention ₦2,000, so be ready.
6. After payment, you can download or print the result slip, which includes your photo and subject scores.

How to Check JAMB Result on Phone (through sms)

• You can do both of the methods above directly from your mobile phone:
  • For SMS: just use your messaging app.
  • For the portal: use your phone’s browser to log in to the JAMB e-Facility site and print or download your result slip.
• Having your result on your phone means you can screenshot or save it immediately.

What to Do After Checking Your JAMB Result

1. Compare with cut-off marks: Once you see your score, check whether it meets the cut-off mark for the course or school you want.
2. Prepare for Post-UTME: If your school requires a post-UTME or screening, start getting ready.
3. Print many copies: If you printed your result slip, make a few extra copies. You might need them for admission forms, school applications, or verification.
4. Contact JAMB if something is wrong: If your SMS says “Result Withheld” or there’s no result on the portal, you may need to reach out to JAMB support or visit a JAMB office.

Common Errors When Checking JAMB Result

• Not using the same phone number you registered with → SMS will not work.
• Having less than ₦50 airtime when sending the SMS → message won’t go through.
• Typing the SMS keyword incorrectly (“UTME RESULT” with space instead of “UTMERESULT”) → JAMB may not recognize your request.
• Using a wrong link or fake portal → always double-check that you’re on JAMB’s official website. The result checker is on the e-Facility portal.

Note

Fees and airtime

SMS method costs a small airtime fee. Portal printing may need a small payment. Keep some cash or airtime ready. Fees can change. Check the portal for the exact amount before you pay.

Check jamb result with registration number

If you have your registration number, you can use it on the portal. On the print page, enter your registration number and the year (2025). If the portal asks for other info, type it exactly. The registration number is the most reliable way to find your result online.

Conclusion

Your JAMB result is easy to check once you know the right steps. You can use SMS or the JAMB portal, depending on what works best for you. Make sure you have your registration number, the phone number used for registration, and a little airtime. After checking your result, keep a copy saved and printed because your school may request it later.

If you have issues such as withheld results, missing scores, or login errors, stay calm and try again later or visit an official JAMB office. Once you have your score, the next step is to prepare for admission, Post-UTME, or change of course if needed.

Take your time and follow each step carefully. You’re now one step closer to the next stage of your academic journey. Good luck.
