The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board has released the results of the 2026 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) Mock, conducted on March 28.
Fabian Benjamin, the board’s Public Communication Adviser, said candidates can check their results by sending “MOCKRESULT” via SMS to 55019 or 66019 using the phone number registered for the 2026 UTME.
He noted that 224,597 candidates registered for the mock examination, with 152,586 successfully participating.
The exercise was conducted across 989 Computer-Based Test centres nationwide.
Benjamin added that over 20 centres that faced technical challenges during the exercise have been delisted.
He warned candidates against falling prey to individuals or groups claiming they could inflate scores, describing such claims as false and criminal.
“Candidates found engaging in these activities risk cancellation of registration or withdrawal of results”.
The board reminded candidates that the main UTME examination is scheduled to begin on April 16. (NAN)
