“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,” he said.
The board advised candidates who are yet to access their results to confirm their status by sending UTMERESULT to 55019 or 66019 using the same phone number used during registration.
The 2026 UTME was conducted between April 16 and 25 at accredited computer-based test centres across the country.
