The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board has announced that results for candidates who sat the first day of the 2026 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) will be released before midnight on Friday.
The disclosure was contained in a statement issued by the board’s Public Communication Adviser, Fabian Benjamin.
According to the statement, candidates who wrote the examination on Thursday, April 16, will be able to check their results once processing is completed later in the day.
“This is to inform all candidates who sat for the 2026 UTME on Thursday, April 16, that their results will be released today before midnight,” the statement read.
The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board added that an official announcement would be made on its platforms immediately the results are released.
The 2026 UTME commenced nationwide on Thursday, with over 2.2 million candidates expected to participate in the examination across accredited Computer-Based Test centres between April 16 and April 22.
The UTME, one of Nigeria’s largest coordinated examinations, is conducted in multiple daily sessions to ease congestion and enhance verification processes at centres nationwide.
Candidates have been advised to monitor official channels of the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board for updates regarding the release of their results.
