Previous Methods Of Checking Your JAMB Result

Checking your JAMB results in previous years, involved the purchase and use of the JAMB scratch card. This is a card containing enclosed pin. This pin was usually required of you before you can check your JAMB result. Formerly, candidate usually spend a lot just to check their result, but, in 2017, JAMB introduced a new method of checking results. This new method involved the use of your registration number. With this new method, candidates no longer have to spend anything to check their JAMB result. Sounds interesting right? Well, let us take a look at this new method, but before we do that, let us see what the JAMB registration number is.

What Is JAMB Registration Number?

I know you might be wondering what the JAMB registration number is. Many students may even feel frustrated trying to figure out which is their registration number. I will tell you what the JAMB registration number is and how to locate it on your registration slip.

The JAMB registration number is a unique code (comprising letters and numbers) that is given to you upon enrollment for the JAMB examination. This registration number is unique and peculiar to each candidate. This means that no two (2) candidates have similar registration number.

Funny enough, this JAMB registration number is written boldly and clearly on any of your JAMB slip; registration slip (this is the slip you were given at the point of registration), exam schedule slip (this is the slip that contains details of your examination; time, date and venue), result slip (the slip containing your result). Therefore, if you happen to misplace or forget your registration number, you can check any of this slip to get it back.

Now, let us look at how you can check your  JAMB result online 2022 with your Registration number.
