However, in a statement released on Sunday, JAMB’s spokesperson, Fabian Benjamin, clarified that the document being shared is not genuine and should be ignored.
He explained that UTME results are currently accessible only for viewing and are not issued in formats meant for printing or public sharing.
According to him, the widely circulated slip uses a fake template, which is one of several indicators that it is not authentic.
Benjamin also pointed out discrepancies in the registration number on the document, noting that it does not match the official numbering pattern generated by the board’s system.
He added that there are multiple irregularities in the result slip that clearly reveal it as fraudulent, even on basic inspection.
The examination body urged the public to verify information through its official channels and cautioned against spreading unverified claims, reiterating that all UTME results remain view-only for now.
