How long does a jamb result last/for how long is a JAMB result valid?
As the time for registration & examination for 2019/2020 JAMB is getting closer, many JAMB candidates have been seeking answers to this question: how long is JAMB result valid?
Well, in this section of the article, I will be providing you with answers to the question.
In 2016, there was news all over the internet that JAMB result is now valid for 3 years when the Nigerian senate led by Senator Bukola Saraki, passed the JAMB Act Amendment Bill 2016 (SB. 245) after it was read for the third time and passed. However, this bill hasn’t yet still be implemented by the federal government.
JAMB result is valid for one year pending the time bill is been implemented into law. So, the JAMB result expiration is strictly for one year.
Can JAMB result be used twice?
JAMB results cannot be used twice since the federal government has failed to implement the JAMB Act Amendment Bill 2016. Any candidate that didn’t get admission with a particular JAMB result before the JAMB result expiration date will have to register for another JAMB examination. The JAMB result expiring date is for one year.
What can cause JAMB result delay?
Since the commencement of the CBT examination, candidates can check their result 30 minutes after finishing their exams but recently, many have experienced a delay in accessing their JAMB results. JAMB result upload is usually delayed if any of the following happens:
- When a high number of malpractices was recorded across the country, this is detected by the several CCTV cameras installed by JAMB in all CBT centers nationwide
- Cancellation of some JAMB centers all over the Nigeria
- When a new date is fixed for candidates that would require re-writing their exams (usually a new date is fixed for them).
Except any of this happens, JAMB result upload aren’t delayed or restricted from the public.
