📢UPDATE

AGAIN, JAMB EXTENDS 2026 DIRECT ENTRY REGISTRATION DEADLINE

The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has again extended the registration deadline for the 2026 Direct Entry (DE) application exercise.

According to the latest update, the registration process will now continue until JUNE 5th 2026 , giving prospective direct entry candidates additional time to complete their applications.

The extension is expected to accommodate applicants who are yet to finalize their registration due to delays in obtaining required credentials and other documentation.

JAMB RELEASES 279 UTME RESULTS PREVIOUSLY HELD FOR INVESTIGATION

The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has released 279 results from those previously held for further investigation. This is in addition to the results earlier released by the Board.

The release follows ongoing investigations into cases of suspected examination malpractice. While some results have been outrightly cancelled where evidence of malpractice was established, others have been released where the Board found no prima facie case against the affected candidates.

Results from centres where the Board’s live monitoring team observed suspicious activities, or where adverse reports were received, remain withheld pending further investigation. Where sufficient evidence of culpability is established, such results will be cancelled.

Candidates whose results have not yet been released are advised to check their status by sending UTMERESULT to 55019 or 66019 using the same phone number used for registration to view their released results.
