The results of every applicant who took the 2026 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) on Thursday, April 16, 2026, will be made public on Friday, April 17, according to the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB).

In a post on X, board spokesperson Fabian Benjamin said that an announcement will be made as soon as the results become available.

He wrote, This is to notify all candidates who took the 2026 UTME on Thursday, April 16, 2026, that their results will be made public by midnight today. As soon as the results are available, a formal announcement will be made to the public and posted on this page. I’m grateful.”

The exam, which is scheduled to run through April 22, is divided into four daily sessions that start at 7:30 a.m. and end at 6:00 p.m. This format is intended to handle the high number of applicants and ease traffic at Computer-Based Test (CBT) centers.

Nearly 2.2 million applicants are taking part this year in 966 certified centers, all of which are required to meet operational standards like working computer systems, reliable energy and internet access, and staff with the necessary training.
