RESULTS FOR the 2026 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) mock have been released, with candidates advised checking their scores via Short Messages (SMS).
JKNewsMedia.com reports that the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) announced that participants can access their results by sending “MOCKRESULT” to 55019 or 66019 using the same phone number used during registration.
The announcement was contained in a statement signed by the board’s spokesperson, Fabian Benjamin.
The board stated that 224,597 candidates registered for the exercise, while 152,586 successfully sat for the test across 989 Computer Based Test centres nationwide.
It disclosed that more than 20 centres experienced technical challenges during the exercise and have been delisted due to what it described as “technical inadequacies”.
JAMB also warned candidates against engaging with fraudulent individuals or groups, particularly on WhatsApp, who claim to assist in inflating scores.
It stated that “such claims are false and criminal”, adding that any candidate involved in such activities would have their registration cancelled.
The board noted that where such infractions are discovered after the examination, results may be withheld or withdrawn.
JAMB reminded candidates that the main UTME is scheduled to commence on Thursday, April 16, 2026.
