The total number of results released so far stands at 1,897,692. JAMB had previously released 632,752 results for candidates who took the exam on April 16. The ongoing release marks a key stage in the examination process as candidates nationwide continue to await their results for admission into higher institutions.

Candidates can check their results by sending ‘UTMERESULT’ to either 55019 or 66019 using the phone number they registered with. This process aims to provide an efficient way for students to access their scores promptly.

The UTME began on April 16, and it has seen a significant increase in participation this year. A total of 2,243,816 candidates registered for the examination in 2026. This figure represents a 10.5% increase from the previous year.

Lagos recorded the highest number of registered candidates at 381,814. This trend reflects the growing interest in tertiary education among Nigerian students.

Yet, details remain unconfirmed regarding any issues that may have arisen during the examination period or with result processing. JAMB continues to release results in batches to manage the high volume effectively.

The anticipation surrounding these results underscores their importance for students seeking admission into universities and other higher learning institutions. As more batches are released, candidates are eager to receive confirmation of their scores.

As of now, JAMB has not announced when all remaining results will be made available. The board is expected to provide updates as they continue processing the remaining examinations.

The West African Examinations Council (WAEC) has released the results for the 2026 First Series of the Computer-Based WASSCE for private candidates. Before this announcement, expectations were high, with many anticipating a steady performance similar to previous years.

However, the recent results revealed a decisive moment: a total of 10,523 candidates registered for the examination, reflecting an 11.49% increase from 2025. Out of these, 10,480 candidates sat for the examination, which was conducted from January 28 to February 14, 2026.

The results showed that only 30.95% of candidates obtained credit or above in at least five subjects, including English Language and Mathematics. Specifically, 4,598 candidates achieved credits in five subjects, while 3,429 managed to secure credits that included both English and Mathematics.

Furthermore, 8,418 candidates, or 80.32%, had fully processed results, while 2,062 candidates had some subjects still under processing. This indicates a significant improvement in the processing of results compared to previous years.

However, the results were not without issues; 75 candidates had their results withheld due to alleged examination malpractice. WAEC stated that investigations were ongoing, and decisions would be communicated directly to the affected candidates.

Marking of scripts took place at three venues: Lagos, Enugu, and Kaduna, with 608 examiners participating in the coordination and marking exercise. This collaborative effort aimed to ensure accuracy and efficiency in the evaluation process.

In a notable aspect of inclusivity, 43 candidates with special needs registered for the examination, including those who are visually and hearing impaired. Adequate provisions were made for them during the conduct of the examination, as highlighted by Moyosola Adesina, a WAEC representative.

WAEC attributed the swift processing of results to its growing reliance on digital examination systems, which have streamlined operations significantly. The results were officially announced on March 27, 2026, marking a pivotal moment for both candidates and the examination body.

For candidates seeking to verify their results, WAEC has provided a portal at https://certrequest.waec.ng/.

As the education sector continues to adapt to changing dynamics, the implications of these results will be closely monitored by stakeholders, including students, educators, and policymakers.
