The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board has released the results for candidates who participated in the first batch of the 2026 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME).
In a statement issued on Friday by spokesperson Fabian Benjamin, the Board confirmed that the results are now accessible, although printing of result slips is not yet available.
JAMB also cautioned candidates against tampering with SMS results received from its official result-checking platforms, warning that any attempt to manipulate scores or create fake results to mislead parents or others constitutes a serious criminal offence.
According to the Board, such misconduct is treated with strict seriousness under the law.
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.
JAMB further disclosed that two candidates and one parent are currently in custody for allegedly falsifying results using artificial intelligence and other electronic tools. The Board stated that they will be prosecuted in accordance with the law.
It reiterated its warning, saying any candidate found guilty of result manipulation will face full legal consequences, adding that the examination process is still ongoing and results will continue to be released progressively.
