"A simple guide for candidates looking to verify their 2026 UTME scores through the official SMS gateway."
As the 2026 UTME results are finalized and made available, many candidates are seeking the most reliable method to retrieve their scores. The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has simplified the process through the use of an SMS gateway. Candidates must use the same phone number they utilized during the registration process to ensure their data matches correctly.
To retrieve your results, send the word 'RESULT' via SMS to either 55019 or 66019. Once the message is sent, the system will process the request and send the results to your phone within a short time. It is important that candidates have sufficient credit on their lines for the network provider to process the request.
Candidates are cautioned to avoid using third-party websites or apps that claim to provide 'better' or 'upgraded' results, as these are fraudulent services aimed at exploiting students. If you encounter any issues or fail to receive your result after multiple attempts, you are encouraged to visit an accredited JAMB CBT center or the nearest state office for assistance. Keep your registration slip safe as you will need it for the upcoming screening sessions at your university of choice.
