Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has released the 2026 mock Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME).
The mock UTME was conducted last Saturday across 989 Computer-Based Test (CBT) centres nationwide with the main objective of getting the candidates acquainted with the CBT method of examination and also preparing them for the main examination scheduled for this month.
JAMB said 224,597 candidates registered for the mock examination, out of which 152,586 candidates successfully sat for it.
It has repeatedly said that scores from the mock UTME would not be added to candidate’s scores in the main UTME, scheduled to commence on Thursday, April 16.

JAMB’s spokesman, Dr Fabian Benjamin, in a statement, yesterday, asked candidates to check their results by sending MOCKRESULT via SMS to 55019 or 66019, using the same phone number (SIM) that they used during registration for the 2026 UTME.
He advised candidates to beware of fraudulent individuals or groups, particularly on WhatsApp, claiming to facilitate the inflation of scores, stressing that such claims were false and criminal.
“Any candidate found to have engaged in such activities, would have his or her registration cancelled. Where such infractions are discovered after the examination, results may be withheld or withdrawn,” he said.
JAMB disclosed that over 20 CBT centres that experienced technical challenges had been delisted due to technical inadequacies.
