The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has released the UTME results for candidates who sat the examination on April 17 and 18, 2026. A total of 1,264,940 results from those two days are now accessible on the JAMB portal. Candidates can check their results by sending UTMERESULT to 55019 or 66019 using the phone number registered for the 2026 UTME. This follows the earlier release of 632,752 results from April 16, bringing the total number of results published to 1,897,692. JAMB spokesman Fabian Benjamin announced the release on Sunday, assuring candidates of timely access to their outcomes.

💡 NaijaBuzz Take

Over 1.2 million candidates now have access to their UTME results from April 17 and 18, meaning delays no longer block result retrieval for most test-takers. Affected students should immediately check their results via the designated short code using their registered SIM number.
