The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) will release results for candidates who sat the 2026 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) on Thursday, 16th April 2026, before midnight today. Public Communication Advisor, Fabian Benjamin, confirmed the release in a statement issued on Friday, noting that an official announcement would follow once the process is complete. A total of 2,243,816 candidates registered for the 2026 UTME, a 10.5 per cent increase from the 2.03 million in 2025. Lagos State recorded the highest number of candidates with 381,814, while Borno had the lowest with 13,483. Outside Nigeria, Côte d'Ivoire recorded 32 candidates, the highest among foreign countries. JAMB expanded the number of CBT centres to about 1,000 nationwide and delisted 23 centres due to technical issues observed during the mock exam. Candidates are advised to monitor JAMB's official platforms for updates on result access.
Students who wrote the first day of the 2026 UTME can expect their results before midnight today. They should follow JAMB's verified channels for real-time updates and instructions on how to access their results.
