The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has released results for candidates who sat the 2026 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) on Friday, 17 April and Saturday, 18 April. According to a statement by JAMB spokesperson Fabian Benjamin, 1,264,940 results from those two days are now available. Candidates can check their results by sending UTMERESULT to 55019 or 66019 using the phone number registered for the exam. This release brings the total number of results published so far to 1,897,692, following the earlier release of 632,752 results from candidates who wrote on Thursday, 16 April. The UTME is ongoing in batches across accredited computer-based test centres nationwide. Over 2.2 million candidates (2,243,816) registered for the 2026 UTME, according to JAMB.
Over 1.8 million UTME results are now accessible, meaning most candidates should be able to view their scores using the designated short code. Affected candidates must act immediately to check their results via the stated method if they sat the exam between 16 and 18 April.
