"JAMB provides a simple SMS-based method for candidates to access their 2026 UTME results securely."
The process for checking the 2026 UTME results remains straightforward, utilizing the registered phone number of the candidate. According to JAMB spokesperson Benjamin Fabian, candidates who sat for the examination can retrieve their results by sending a message to 55019 or 66019. The SMS must be sent from the exact phone number used during the registration process to ensure the security of the candidate's record.
Following the release of the first batch of results involving 632,788 candidates who sat for the exams on April 16, 2026, the board has continued to process and release remaining results in stages. Candidates are advised to keep their phone numbers active and ensure they have sufficient airtime to receive the automated response. If a candidate experiences a delay in receiving their result, they should wait for an official notice on the portal rather than attempting multiple, repetitive SMS requests.
It is important to note that results are exclusively processed by JAMB. If you are experiencing issues with the SMS system, you can visit the JAMB portal under the 'Post-Registration e-Facilities' section to print the result slip directly. Do not purchase scratch cards from street vendors, as the board has fully digitized the process for ease and security. Any candidate who suspects their result is being withheld should monitor their inbox for notifications from JAMB.
