The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) says it has released the results of candidates who took the 2026 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) on Friday, April 17, and Saturday, April 18.
JAMB after it public apology for the initial delay of the results, eventually announced the results on Sunday
in a post on X signed by its spokesperson, Fabian Benjamin who disclosed that a total of 1,264,940 results from the two days were available for candidates to check or view.
“The results of candidates who sat the examination on Friday, 17 April and Saturday, 18 April 2026 have now been released. A total of 1,264,940 results from these two days are available for candidates to check/view."
To view their results, candidates should send UTMERESULT to 55019 or 66019 using the phone (SIM) number they used to register for the 2026 UTME,” the agency said.
JAMB said it had earlier released 632,752 results of candidates who sat for the examination on Thursday, 16 April 2026.
“This brings the total number of results released so far to 1,897,692,” it added.
The board had earlier indicated that results for candidates who took the exam on Friday, April 17, 2026, would be released on Saturday.
However, the delay triggered frustration among candidates awaiting their scores.
In a statement issued on Sunday, the agency explained that the setback was due to the temporary absence of the board’s chief executive, who was engaged in official duties.
No fewer than two million (2,243,816) candidates according to the board, were expected to participate in the examination, which commenced on April 16 across accredited Computer-Based Test (CBT) centres nationwide.
