Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board, JAMB, has announced the release of results of the 2026 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination,UTME, Mock, conducted on Saturday, 28th March 2026.
JAMB announced the release of results in Abuja on Tuesday, urging candidates to check their results by sending MOCKRESULT via SMS to 55019 or 66019, using the same phone number (SIM) used during registration for the 2026 UTME.
The Board said a total of 224,597 candidates registered for the Mock examination, out of which 152,586 candidates successfully sat for the test. The exercise was conducted across 989 Computer-Based Test,CBT, centres nationwide.
It explained that following the examination, over 20 CBT centres that experienced technical challenges have been delisted due to technical inadequacies.
“Candidates are strongly advised to beware of fraudulent individuals or groups, particularly on WhatsApp, claiming to facilitate score inflation. Such claims are false and criminal. Any candidate found to have engaged in such activities will have their registration cancelled. Where such infractions are discovered after the examination, results may be withheld or withdrawn,” the Board warned.
Meanwhile, the examination body said the main UTME is scheduled to commence on Thursday, April 16,2025.
