“Result Not Yet Available” – When JAMB hasn’t completed processing your specific exam session, this message shows up. Your outcome is on the way; it’s just not ready yet. Return every six hours. The majority of “not yet available” results show up in 24 to 72 hours.
“Candidate Absent” – This shows up when JAMB’s system indicates that you were not present for the test. What happened, though, since you are aware that you took the test? This typically indicates that something went wrong with the biometric verification process during your exam.
