JAMB Set to Release UTME 2026 Day 1 Results Today

The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has announced plans to release the results of candidates who sat for Day 1 of the 2026 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) today.

The board disclosed that candidates who wrote the examination on Thursday, April 16, should expect their results before midnight on Friday, April 17.

JAMB’s spokesperson, Fabian Benjamin, confirmed the development in an update, noting that an official announcement would be made once the results are fully processed.

“This is to inform all candidates who sat for the 2026 UTME on Thursday, 16th April 2026, that their results will be released today before midnight. An official announcement will be made to the public and posted on this page as soon as the results are available. Thank you,” he said.

The release marks the first batch of results for the 2026 UTME, which commenced nationwide earlier this week and is scheduled to run through April 22.

The examination is being conducted in multiple sessions daily across accredited Computer-Based Test (CBT) centres to accommodate the large number of candidates participating in this year’s exercise.

Candidates are expected to check their results through official JAMB channels once the board completes processing and activates access.

The development has heightened anticipation among candidates and parents nationwide, as the UTME remains a key requirement for admission into tertiary institutions in Nigeria.
