The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has announced the results of the 2026 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) mock test, which was conducted on March 28, 2026.
In a statement issued by the board’s Public Communication Adviser, Fabian Benjamin, candidates were advised to check their results by sending “MOCKRESULT” via SMS to 55019 or 66019 using the phone number they registered with for the 2026 UTME.
Benjamin disclosed that 224,597 candidates registered for the mock examination, out of which 152,586 successfully sat for the test.
The exercise was conducted across 989 Computer-Based Test (CBT) centres nationwide.
He added that more than 20 centres experienced technical issues during the exercise and have since been delisted by the board.
The JAMB spokesperson also warned candidates to beware of individuals or groups claiming they could manipulate or inflate UTME scores, stressing that such claims are false and criminal.
According to him, “candidates found engaging in such activities risk having their registration cancelled or their results withdrawn”.
The board further reminded candidates that the main UTME examination will commence on April 16.
