What to Do After You Check JAMB Results

After seeing your results, here’s what you should do next:

Compare your score with the cut-off marks for your chosen university/polytechnic.

If you meet the required score, prepare for post-UTME screening or admission processes.

If your score is lower than expected, consider options like a change of institution or course.

Also, consider admission pathways like Miva Open University, where you do not require JAMB UTME to gain admission.

Visit the JAMB e-facility portal.

Log in with your email and password.

Select “Print Result Slip”, make the required payment, and download your slip.

How to Check JAMB Admission Status

After checking your results, you should also monitor your admission status:

Go to JAMB CAPS.

Click on “Check Admission Status” and follow the instructions.

Accept or reject the offer once your school grants you admission.
