JAMB confirmed that results for 632,788 candidates who sat the first day of the 2026 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination are now accessible. In a statement released on Friday, spokesperson Fabian Benjamin said the outcomes for those who wrote the exam on Thursday, 16 April 2026, have been posted.
Candidates may view their scores by texting UTMERESULT to 55019 or 66019, using the phone number registered for the exam. At present, the board only allows viewing; printing of result slips is not yet possible.
The board warned that altering the SMS received from the official numbers to fabricate or change scores is a serious criminal offence. Benjamin added that two candidates and a parent are currently in the board's custody for using AI and other electronic means to falsify results, and anyone found guilty will face full legal consequences.
The examination remains ongoing, and further results will be released as they become available.
Students must check their UTME scores via the designated SMS service and cannot obtain printed copies at this stage. They should refrain from any attempt to modify the SMS information and report any irregularities, as the board is already prosecuting individuals for result falsification.
