The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has released the first batch of results for the 2026 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME).
The examination commenced on Thursday in about 966
computer-based test (CBT) centres nationwide, with about 2.2 million expected
to participate.
In a statement issued on Friday night, Fabian Benjamin,
JAMB’s spokesperson, said the board has released results for 632,788 candidates
who sat the examination on Thursday.
“The results of candidates who sat the 2026 UTME on
Thursday, 16 April 2026, have been released and are now available for viewing,”
the statement reads.
“To check their results, candidates should send UTMERESULT
via SMS to 55019 or 66019, using the same phone number (SIM) used during
registration.”
Benjamin added that while results can be viewed, printing is
not yet available.
He cautioned candidates against manipulating SMS results to
fabricate or alter scores, describing such acts as a serious criminal offence.
“The Board treats such misconduct with the utmost gravity,”
he said.
“Currently, two candidates and one parent are in custody for
engaging in result falsification using AI and other electronic means.
“Any candidate found culpable will face the full
consequences of the law.”
He added that as the examination progresses, more results
will be released in batches.
