2024 JAMB result slip printing to begin soon

In his address, the JAMB registrar implicitly revealed that candidates may soon be able to print their JAMB original result slip 2024 via the JAMB portal.

Candidates can only check their UTME results through SMS, but this upcoming update will allow them to access and print their detailed result slips online. According to the registrar, this document is a requirement for the 2024 admission processes in all higher education institutions across Nigeria. Since tertiary institutions will demand the original result slip during screening and verification exercises, JAMB will likely make it accessible soon.

Candidates must visit the official JAMB website to start the printing process once it becomes available. By logging into their profiles using their registration details, they can navigate to the section designated for the result slip. The printing process requires a nominal fee, which candidates can pay via multiple online payment platforms integrated into the JAMB portal.

The JAMB original result slip 2024 contains not only candidates’ scores but also detailed information such as their examination number, centre, and subject combinations. Admission officers use this comprehensive information to verify the authenticity of the results presented by applicants. Therefore, candidates must promptly report any discrepancies or errors in the result slip to JAMB for correction.

JAMB: Over one million illegal admissions in Nigerian universities

Prof. Is-haq Oloyede, the Registrar of the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB), has disclosed that over one million students were admitted illegally by some tertiary institutions in Nigeria.

Oloyede made this statement on Thursday in Abuja during the ongoing policy meeting on 2023/2024 admissions. This meeting, which includes heads of tertiary institutions and other stakeholders, sets the guidelines for admissions into higher education institutions in the country.

He noted that the Board has managed to regularize 600 of these illegal admissions. Oloyede emphasized that many of the students admitted illegally do not meet the basic qualifications required for their chosen courses.

“Over one million students were admitted illegally. We registered about 600 of them because a lot of them don’t have the basic qualifications,” Oloyede said.
