The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) released the first batch of results for the 2026 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) on Thursday. Candidates can check their scores by sending "UTMERESULT" via SMS to 55019 or 66019 using the phone number registered for the exam. Printing of results is not yet available; only score viewing is currently accessible. JAMB spokesperson Fabian Benjamin warned against altering or fabricating SMS results, stating such actions are criminal offences. Two candidates and one parent are in custody for falsifying results using artificial intelligence and other electronic methods. The board emphasized that the UTME exercise is ongoing and results will be released in batches.
Students who have written the 2026 UTME can now check their scores via SMS, but must not attempt to alter or misrepresent them. Anyone caught falsifying results, including parents, risks legal consequences as JAMB has already detained three individuals for such actions. Candidates should wait for official updates before printing results.
