The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has debunked a purported UTME result slip circulating online claiming a candidate scored 394 out of 400 in the 2026 examination. In a statement by spokesperson Fabian Benjamin, JAMB said the document appears on a fabricated template and does not match its official format. The Board noted that UTME results are currently view-only and accessible only through official channels, making any printed slip suspicious. The registration number on the fake slip also showed an irregular pattern.
Key Points
- Candidates and parents avoid being misled by fraudulent claims of exceptional scores.
- Public trust in examination integrity is protected through swift official debunking.
- Fraudsters attempting to sell fake results or admission shortcuts lose credibility.
- JAMB's view-only result policy proves necessary to prevent document fabrication.
- The incident signals growing attempts to manipulate the 2026 UTME process.
Watch whether JAMB prosecutes those behind the fabrication and if more fake results emerge before admission lists are released.
