2026 UTME: JAMB announces mock results, alerts candidates against fraud

The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has announced the results of the 2026 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) Mock, held on March 28, 2026.

Candidates can access their results by sending MOCKRESULT via SMS to 55019 or 66019, using the same phone number they used during UTME registration.

In a statement on Tuesday, JAMB spokesperson Fabian Benjamin 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 centres nationwide.”

The board said over 20 CBT centres were delisted due to technical challenges.

“Over 20 CBT centres that experienced technical challenges have been delisted due to technical inadequacies,” the statement read.

The statement also warned candidates against fraudulent individuals or groups on WhatsApp claiming to facilitate score inflation.

“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 Where such infractions are discovered after the examination, results may be withheld or withdrawn,” it added.

The board reminded candidates that the main UTME is scheduled to commence on 16th April 2026.

JAMB had admitted that technical glitches disrupted the 2026 UTME Mock.

Thousands of candidates were affected by server failures, power outages, and delayed start times at several Computer-Based Test centres, leaving students stranded for hours.
