The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board, JAMB, has released the results of 632,788 candidates who sat for the 2026 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination, UTME on Thursday, April 16, 2026.
JAMB’s Public Communication Advisor, Dr. Fabian Benjamin, in a statement, said the released results are now available for viewing.
To check the results, Benjamin said candidates should send UTMERESULT via SMS to 55019 or 66019, using the same phone number, SIM, used during registration.
According to him, at this stage, candidates may only view their results as printing is not yet available.
“Candidates are strongly cautioned against manipulating the SMS received from the official platform (55019/66019) to fabricate or alter scores with the intent to mislead others, including parents.
“Such actions constitute a serious criminal offence. The Board treats such misconduct with the utmost gravity. 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. The examination is ongoing, and results will continue to be released as they become available,” the statement read.
Recall that a total of 2.2 million candidates are participating in the ongoing UTME exercise which began on Thursday, April 16 in 966 Computer Based Test, CBT, centres nationwide.
