The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has announced that results of candidates who sat for the 2026 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) on Thursday, April 16, 2026, will be released on Friday, April 17, 2026.
JAMB spokesperson, Fabian Benjamin, disclosed this in a post on X, stating that the results would be made available before midnight, with an official public announcement to follow once they are released.
“This is to inform all candidates who sat for the 2026 UTME on Thursday, 16th April 2026, that their results will be released today before midnight. An official announcement will be made to the public and posted on this page as soon as the results are available,” he wrote.
The examination, which is scheduled to run through April 22, is being conducted in four daily sessions starting from 7:30 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. to manage the large number of candidates and reduce congestion at Computer-Based Test (CBT) centres.
This year’s UTME has nearly 2.2 million candidates participating across 966 accredited centres nationwide. The centres are expected to meet operational standards, including functional computer systems, stable internet connectivity and electricity supply, as well as adequately trained personnel.
