After earlier delays that left many candidates worried, the board has now released the results. So far, a total of 1,264,940 results from these two days are available for candidates to check\/view<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Board had earlier released  632,752 results of candidates who sat the examination on Thursday, 16 April 2026. This brings the total number of results released so far to 1,897,692.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you wrote your exam on Friday, April 17 and Saturday, April 18, here\u2019s a clear breakdown of what happened, what JAMB has said, and how you can check your result right now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Reason_for_the_April_17_Results_Delay\"><\/span>Reason for the April 17 Results Delay<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Earlier, candidates who sat for the April 17 UTME experienced a delay in accessing their results, which sparked anxiety across social media platforms.

According to the statement, the delay was due to routine verification and quality control processes. JAMB emphasized that these checks are necessary to ensure the accuracy and integrity of results before they are released to candidates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"696\" height=\"350\" src=\"https:\/\/examscholars.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/images-3.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-11206\" srcset=\"https:\/\/examscholars.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/images-3.jpeg 696w, https:\/\/examscholars.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/images-3-300x151.jpeg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 696px) 100vw, 696px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">JAMB Confirms Release of April 17 & 18 (Day 2 and Day 3) Results<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As of now, JAMB has confirmed that results for candidates who wrote on April 17 and 18 have been successfully released.
