JAMB Releases April 20 UTME Results, How To Check JAMB 2026 Result

JAMB has released the April 20 UTME Results.

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

This newspaper understands that the April 20 UTME Results announcement was disclosed in a statement by JAMB’s spokesperson, Fabian Benjamin, on Tuesday, April 21, 2026.

The statement directs 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 that they registered for the examination.

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.

This newspaper recalls that the board 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.

JAMB subsequently apologised, attributing the delay to the absence of its chief executive, who was occupied with an official engagement.
