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.

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.

Importantly, candidates do not need to reprint their examination slips following this adjustment. However, they are encouraged to check their notification slips carefully for full details of their exam schedule, centre, and other relevant instructions.

This change is significant as it aims to alleviate some of the logistical challenges faced by candidates on exam day. By shifting the arrival time, JAMB hopes to provide a more manageable experience for those traveling to their examination centres.

As the examination dates approach, candidates are advised to stay informed about any further updates from JAMB. While the current changes have been communicated, details remain unconfirmed regarding any additional adjustments that may arise.

Candidates who registered for the 2026 Mock Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) can start printing their notification slips from March 23, 2026. The Mock UTME is scheduled to take place on March 28, 2026.

The duration of the Mock UTME has been extended from two hours to four hours. Two consecutive sessions will be held on the same day: the first from 8:00 a.m. to 10:00 a.m., and the second from 10:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. Participation in the Mock UTME is mandatory for registered candidates.

JAMB has advised candidates to print their slips and locate their assigned centres ahead of the examination date. “Candidates are to access their slips via the JAMB website, clicking on ‘2-Session 2026 MOCK SLIP PRINTING,’ and entering their registration numbers,” a JAMB spokesperson stated.

The Mock UTME allows candidates to familiarise themselves with the Computer-Based Test (CBT) environment, which is crucial for their performance in the main examination. “The adjustment is designed to give candidates ample opportunity to familiarise themselves with the Computer-Based Test (CBT) environment,” JAMB added.

A total of 2,243,816 candidates have registered for the 2026 UTME nationwide, with JAMB creating 1,000 examination centres across the country. The board has projected N23.8 billion in internally generated revenue for 2026, with N6 billion to be remitted to the Federation Account as operating surplus.

Additionally, JAMB remitted a total of N1,570,671,200 to CBT centres for the 2026 UTME registration exercise. Observers note that the Mock UTME is a critical step for candidates as they prepare for the main examination.

Skipping the exam, it said, is therefore not an option. “All affected candidates are therefore strongly advised to make the necessary arrangements to participate in the Mock UTME,” JAMB emphasized.

Details remain unconfirmed regarding any further adjustments or announcements leading up to the examination date.
