The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board has released 279 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination results that were previously withheld for investigation over suspected examination malpractice.
JAMB spokesperson, Fabian Benjamin, disclosed this in a statement posted on X on Thursday, explaining that the decision followed a detailed review of cases flagged during and after the examination process.
According to Benjamin, while some results were cancelled after evidence of malpractice was established, others were released after the board found no sufficient case against the affected candidates.
“While some results have been outrightly cancelled where evidence of malpractice was established, others have been released where the Board found no prima facie case against the affected candidates.
“Results from centres where the Board’s live monitoring team observed suspicious activities, or where adverse reports were received, remain withheld pending further investigation. Where sufficient evidence of culpability is established, such results will be cancelled,” he said.
The board advised candidates who are yet to access their results to check their status by sending “UTMERESULT” to either 55019 or 66019 using the same phone number used during registration.
The 2026 UTME was conducted between April 16 and April 25 at accredited computer-based test centres nationwide.
