JAMB Releases Day One JAMB 2026 Result [ How To Check 2026 UTME Results]

JAMB has released the Day One JAMB 2026 Result.

Philips News reports that the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has announced that results for candidates who sat for the first day of the 2026 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) have been released.

This newspaper understands that the development was contained in a statement shared on the micro-blogging site, X, formerly known as Twitter, by Fabian Benjamin, JAMB spokesperson.

According to the post, the results of 632,788 candidates from day one of the 2026 UTME were released. To check their results, candidates are advised to send UTMERESULT via SMS to 55019 or 66019, using the same phone number (SIM) used during registration.

The statement issued by the JAMB spokesperson revealed that “At this stage, candidates may view their results only; printing is not yet available.”

The statement reads thus: “JAMB Releases Results of 632,788 Candidates from Day One of the 2026 UTME

“The results of candidates who sat the 2026 UTME on Thursday, 16 April 2026, have been released and are now available for viewing.

“To check their results, candidates should send UTMERESULT via SMS to 55019 or 66019, using the same phone number (SIM) used during registration.

“At this stage, candidates may view their results only; printing is not yet available.

“Candidates are strongly cautioned against manipulating the SMS received from the official platform (55019/66019) to fabricate or alter scores with the intent to mislead others, including parents. Such actions constitute a serious criminal offence. The Board treats such misconduct with the utmost gravity. Currently, two candidates and one parent are in custody for engaging in result falsification using AI and other electronic means. Any candidate found culpable will face the full consequences of the law.

“The examination is ongoing, and results will continue to be released as they become available,” the statement added.
