The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board has released the results of candidates who sat the 2026 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination on Monday, April 20.
Its spokesperson, Fabian Benjamin, disclosed this in a statement released on Tuesday, directing affected candidates to the board’s standard result-checking channels.
“The results for Monday, 20th, have been released. Candidates can view their results using the usual process,” the statement read.
Candidates can access their scores by sending “UTMERESULT” to 55019 or 66019 via SMS, using the phone number with which they registered for the examination.
Monday’s release is the latest in a series of daily result announcements that JAMB has been making since the 2026 UTME commenced on Thursday, April 16.
The Friday-Saturday release, however, came later than candidates had expected. JAMB had initially indicated the results would be available on Saturday but failed to meet that timeline, drawing frustration from candidates who waited through the night.
The board subsequently apologised, attributing the delay to the absence of its chief executive, who was occupied with an official engagement.
The results were eventually published on Sunday, April 19, before the board moved on to process and release the Monday batch.
