Jamb Releases First Batch Of 2026 UTME Results, Warns Against Score Manipulation
The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has announced the release of results for 632,788 candidates who participated in the first day of the 2026 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME), held on Thursday.
A statement signed by the Board’s spokesperson, Fabian Benjamin said the candidates can now access their results by sending “UTMERESULT” via SMS to either 55019 or 66019, using the same phone number registered during the examination process.
The statement explained that only result viewing of results is available at this stage as printing of result slips has not yet been enabled.
JAMB emphasised that the UTME exercise is still ongoing, adding that additional batches of results will be released progressively as marking and processing continue.
The Board also issued a stern warning against any attempts to manipulate or falsify results and cautioned candidates against altering SMS messages received from its official platforms to misrepresent their scores to others, including parents and guardians.
