Stay Safe: Avoid Scammers and False Promises
It’s important to know that once JAMB releases your result, it cannot be changed. No one can upgrade your score, no matter what they claim. To protect yourself:
- Always use only the official JAMB portal or the approved SMS method to check your results.
- Ignore any individual or website claiming they can “upgrade” your JAMB score—it’s a scam.
What to Do Next: Cut-Off Marks and Post-UTME
Now that you’ve seen your score, here’s what to consider next:
- Compare your score with the cut-off marks for your chosen school and course.
- If your score meets or exceeds the cut-off:
- Prepare for the post-UTME screening or other specific admission processes required by your institution.
- If your score is below the cut-off:
- Consider changing your course or institution to one with a lower cut-off mark that matches your score.
Planning your next move carefully is essential. Stay informed, stay safe, and stay focused on your educational goals.
