The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has made an important announcement regarding the 2024 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME). The Board has confirmed that the result slips for the 2024 UTME are ready for printing and can be accessed by candidates starting from Monday, 22 July 2024. This critical development was revealed by the Head of Public Relations, Dr. Fabian Benjamin, who stressed the importance of adhering to approved channels for printing the result slips.
Features of the 2024 UTME Result Slips
The 2024 UTME result slips come with several advanced features to ensure their authenticity and security. Notably, the slips include candidates' photographs, which serve as a visual confirmation of identity. Additionally, these documents are embedded with state-of-the-art security elements to prevent counterfeiting and fraudulent activities. These features make the result slips not just a piece of paper, but a verifiable record of each candidate's performance in the examination.
Approved Printing Centres
Dr. Fabian Benjamin emphasized that candidates must print their result slips exclusively from approved Computer-Based Test (CBT) centres. Starting from 22 July 2024, candidates can visit any of these accredited centres to obtain their result slips. This measure is crucial to avoid fraudulent activities often associated with unapproved cyber cafes and internet-enabled platforms. The insistence on using only approved centres underscores JAMB's commitment to maintaining the integrity of the examination and its results.
The Importance of Physical Copies
The physical copy of the UTME result slip serves as more than just a record of scores; it stands as a secure and verifiable document that can be reliably presented for academic and administrative purposes. While candidates were previously informed of their scores through JAMB's short codes, having a physical copy adds an extra layer of security and authenticity. This is particularly important for candidates during the admission procedure into tertiary institutions, where authenticity of documents is paramount.
Delay in Printing
It is worth noting that the printing of the 2024 UTME result slips had earlier been delayed. The specific reasons for this delay were not disclosed, but it raised concerns among candidates and stakeholders in the education sector. Nevertheless, JAMB has now taken swift steps to ensure that result slips are available within an adequate timeline, addressing any potential issues stemming from the delay.
Outstanding Performance in the 2024 UTME
The 2024 UTME saw some remarkable performances among candidates. During the 2024 policy meeting held in Abuja, it was announced that three candidates achieved the highest scores, each scoring 367. These remarkable candidates are Olowu Joseph from Ondo State, Alayande David from Oyo State, and Orukpe Joel from Edo State. Their exceptional achievements have been celebrated and serve as an inspiration for future candidates. These top scorers have not only shown excellence in their academic endeavors but also set a high benchmark for subsequent examinations.
Advice for Candidates
Dr. Fabian Benjamin advised all candidates to exercise caution and follow the approved channels for printing their result slips. This advice comes in light of numerous incidents of fraudulent activities associated with unapproved printing platforms. By adhering to the proper procedures, candidates can avoid falling prey to scams and ensure that their result slips are genuine and accepted by educational institutions. Furthermore, candidates are encouraged to check the official JAMB website for any updates or additional instructions regarding the printing process.
In conclusion, the availability of the 2024 UTME result slips marks a significant step forward in the examination's administrative process. Candidates are urged to take advantage of the approved CBT centres for printing their slips, ensuring the authenticity and security of their academic records. With these result slips, candidates can confidently move forward in their academic journeys, knowing that their scores are backed by a secure and verifiable document. The journey to higher education is paved with many challenges, but with accurate records and the right guidance, candidates can navigate it successfully.
