The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) announced that results for 632,788 candidates who sat the 2026 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination on Thursday, 16 April 2026, are now available. Candidates can view their scores by sending the keyword UTMERESULT via SMS to 55019 or 66019, using the phone number registered for the exam. At this stage, results can only be viewed; printing of result slips has not yet been enabled. JAMB warned that altering or fabricating the SMS scores constitutes a serious criminal offence. The board disclosed that two candidates and one parent are currently in custody for using AI and other electronic means to falsify results. JAMB affirmed that any individual found guilty will face full legal consequences and that further results will be released as they become ready.
Students should immediately check their scores through the official SMS numbers and refrain from attempting any form of result alteration. Parents and candidates must avoid any manipulation, as the board has already detained individuals for such offences and will pursue legal action against violators.
