The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has released 279 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination results earlier withheld for further investigation.

This was made known in a post shared on X on Thursday by the Board’s Spokesperson, Fabian Benjamin.

Benjamin noted that the recent release was in addition to results earlier published by the board.

According to him, the newly released results are part of those following investigation into suspected examination malpractice.

Benjamin explained that while some results have been outrightly cancelled where evidence of malpractice was established, others have been released where the Board found no case against the affected candidates.

He added that results from centres flagged by JAMB’s monitoring team over observed suspicious activities, or centres linked to adverse reports would remain withheld pending further investigation.

The spokesperson noted that any candidate found culpable after the investigation would have such results cancelled by the board.

The board advised candidates yet to access their results to check their status by sending UTMERESULT to 55019 or 66019 using the the same phone number used during registration.

The 2026 UTME was conducted between April 16 and 25 across accredited computer-based test centres nationwide.
