The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board, JAMB, has released the results of candidates who wrote the 2026 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination, UTME, on Monday (yesterday).
This is disclosed in a statement by JAMB’s spokesperson, Fabian Benjamin, on Tuesday.
The statement 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.

According to the statement, 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.
This is the latest in a series of daily result announcements that JAMB has been making since the 2026 UTME commenced on Thursday, April 16.
It was reported that the examination, which involves over two million candidates sitting computer-based tests at centres across the country, has seen the board publish results in batches corresponding to each examination day.
Recall that JAMB began the process by releasing results for Thursday’s candidates, followed by a combined batch covering Friday, April 17, and Saturday, April 18.

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.
