JAMB releases Monday’s UTME results, directs candidates to SMS channel

The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has released the results of candidates who sat for the 2026 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) on Monday, April 20.

 

JAMB’s spokesperson, Fabian Benjamin, confirmed the development in a statement on Tuesday, directing candidates to check their results through the board’s official channels.

 

“The results for Monday, 20th, have been released. Candidates can view their results using the usual process,” the statement said.

 

According to the board, candidates are to send “UTMERESULT” via SMS to 55019 or 66019 using the same phone number used during registration.

 

The latest release continues JAMB’s batch-by-batch publication of results since the nationwide computer-based examination commenced on Thursday, April 16.

 

Earlier, the board released results for candidates who wrote on Thursday, followed by a combined batch for Friday, April 17, and Saturday, April 18.

 

The Friday–Saturday results were delayed beyond the initial timeline, prompting complaints from candidates. JAMB later apologised, attributing the delay to the absence of its chief executive due to an official engagement.

 

The examination, which involves over two million candidates across the country, is still ongoing, with results expected to be released in phases.
