JAMB Important Safety Tips

  1. Avoid Scammers: No one can "upgrade" a JAMB score. These are digital records stored on secure servers. Anyone asking for money to increase your marks is a fraudster.
  2. Use Your Registered SIM: If you send the SMS from a phone number not linked to your profile, you will receive an error message.
  3. heck in Batches: Results are released in batches based on the day you wrote the exam. If your friends have seen theirs but you haven't, don't panic—just wait for the next upload.
