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 adjustment means that candidates will now need to arrive at their examination centers by 7:00 a.m. instead of the previously scheduled time of 6:30 a.m. The first session of the examination will begin at 8:30 a.m. and conclude at 10:30 a.m.

JAMB has stated that this change was made in response to feedback from candidates and parents who expressed concerns about early morning travel difficulties. More than two million candidates are expected to participate in the UTME, which runs from April 16 to April 25, 2026.

In total, four sessions will be conducted daily from Monday to Thursday, with the second session starting at 11:00 a.m. and ending at 1:00 p.m. The third session will take place from 1:30 p.m. to 3:30 p.m., followed by the final session from 4:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m.

On Fridays, only three active sessions will be held, with the third session designated as reserved. Candidates are advised that they do not need to reprint their examination slips following this adjustment.

JAMB further encouraged candidates to check their notification slips carefully for full details of their exam schedule, center, and other relevant instructions. The UTME serves as a critical assessment tool for candidates seeking admission into Nigerian tertiary institutions.
