JAMB Responses & Their Meaning 

Most people encounter various messages when they try to check their JAMB results. These messages indicate a particular type of issue on your JAMB profile or account. Knowing that these responses mean will help you solve them. The following are responses you can get while checking your JAMB result:

  • “This phone number was not used for registration”. This means that the phone number used to send the text message is not the same as the one you entered during the registration process.
  • “Result Withheld”. This message is sent to candidates whose results are withheld for one reason or the other.
  • “Result withheld pending the upload of clarifications/document required from you.” If you receive this message, then that means that there is an opportunity for your result to be release. Visit the JAMB portal and upload the required documents to release your result
  • “CANDIDATE ABSENT” If you receive this text message, then it means that you were absent on the day of the exam, or you were not accredited before sitting for the exam
  • “Invalid Entrance into the Exam Hall” This message is sent to candidates who gained unauthorized access to the UTME examination hall.
