Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has announced the release of the results of 632,788 candidates who sat for the 2026 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) last Thursday being the first day.
JAMB Public Communications Advisor, Dr. Fabian Benjamin, in a statement, explained that the result is for viewing at the moment, because the option of printing is not yet activated.
To check the results, he asked candidates to send UTMERESULT via SMS to 55019 or 66019, using the same phone number (SIM) used during registration.

He cautioned candidates against manipulating the SMS received from the official platform (55019/66019) to fabricate or alter scores with the intent to mislead others, including parents.
“Such actions constitute a serious criminal offence. The Board treats such misconduct with the utmost gravity. Currently, two candidates and one parent are in custody for engaging in result falsification using AI and other electronic means. Any candidate found culpable will face the full consequences of the law,” he warned.
He maintained that the examination is ongoing, and results will continue to be released as they become available.
