The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board has warned the public to disregard a fake 2026 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) result currently circulating online.
The viral result slip, which claimed that a candidate from Cross River State scored 394 out of 400, was described by the Board as entirely fabricated and misleading.
“Okon Winnifred Sampson, a young girl from Cross River State, delivered a remarkable performance in her UTME examinations, scoring an outstanding 394 out of 400.
“Her results were as follows: 96 in Use of English; 99 in Biology; 98 in Chemistry and 99 in Physics… a truly exceptional academic achievement. I love this,” Onsogbu wrote.
In a statement, JAMB spokesperson Fabian Benjamin said the document does not reflect the Board’s official result format, stressing that UTME results are strictly view-only and not meant for printing or circulation.
“A purported result slip currently being circulated, claiming that a candidate scored 394 in the 2026 UTME, is entirely fake. It is surprising that such a fabrication is being shared by otherwise well-informed Nigerians,” the statement said.

He also pointed out inconsistencies in the registration number displayed on the slip, noting that it does not conform to JAMB’s system-generated format, further exposing the result as fraudulent.
“Secondly, the Board’s registration numbers are system-generated and do not follow the pattern ‘20269’ as seen on the fake slip. There are several other inconsistencies that, even at a glance, expose the result as fraudulent,” he added.
The Board urged Nigerians to rely only on its official communication channels for accurate information, reiterating that all UTME results remain accessible only through approved viewing platforms at this time.
“The public is strongly advised to disregard this fake result and rely only on official channels for accurate information. All results at the moment are view-only,” Benjamin stated.
