CHECK JAMB 2012 Results
Barely 12 hours after the results of the 2012 UTME were released, jamb has now completely shutdown its official website: www.jamb.org.ng owing to the inability to serve the millions of requests to candidates nationwide.
As at the time of writing, the website is still down, but we hope it will still be up as soon as possible.
