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, 16 April 2026. Spokesperson Fabian Benjamin confirmed the release on Friday, stating that results are accessible via SMS or the JAMB eFacility portal. Candidates can text UTMERESULT to 55019 or 66019 using the registered phone number to receive scores by SMS, at a cost of N50 airtime. Results are currently viewable but not printable. Alternatively, candidates may log in to the official JAMB eFacility portal at https://efacility.jamb.gov.ng/, enter their registration number, and check or save their results. Some candidates may receive messages indicating "Results Withheld", "Results Pending", "Candidate Absent", or "Invalid Entrance" if they did not participate or have unresolved issues. Results are being released in batches, with the full UTME running from 16 to 25 April 2026. Forgotten registration numbers can be retrieved by sending RETRIEVE to 55019 from the registered line.
Students whose results are not yet available must wait for official release, as JAMB is processing scores in batches after each exam date. Affected candidates should avoid third-party sites and only use the official SMS or eFacility portal to check results.
