The examination commenced on Thursday in about 966 computer-based test (CBT) centres nationwide, with about 2.2 million students expected to participate.
“The results of candidates who sat the 2026 UTME on Thursday, 16 April 2026, have been released and are now available for viewing,” the statement reads.
“To check their results, candidates should send UTMERESULT via SMS to 55019 or 66019, using the same phone number (SIM) used during registration.”
Benjamin added that while results can be viewed, printing is not yet available.
He cautioned candidates against manipulating SMS results to fabricate or alter scores, describing such acts as a serious criminal offence.
“The Board treats such misconduct with the utmost gravity,” he said.
“Currently, two candidates and one parent are in custody for engaging in result falsification using AI and other electronic means.
“Any candidate found culpable will face the full consequences of the law.”
He added that as the examination progresses, more results will be released in batches.
