On April 20, 2026, JAMB made available a total of 1,264,940 results from the exams conducted on April 17 and 18. This release adds to the previous batch of 632,752 results that were disclosed for candidates who took the examination on April 16. In total, 1,897,692 results have now been published since the commencement of the examinations.

The significance of these numbers cannot be overstated. With 2,243,816 candidates registered for this year’s UTME—a 10.5% increase from last year—the stakes are higher than ever. Candidates are not just competing against each other; they are also vying for limited spots in tertiary institutions across Nigeria. The pressure is palpable.

Lagos stands out with the highest number of registered candidates—381,814. This concentration indicates a fierce competition in one of Nigeria’s most populous states. As students check their results via text message—by sending ‘UTMERESULT’ to either 55019 or 66019—the anticipation builds. Will they meet the cut-off marks required for their desired courses?

This ongoing release marks a key stage in the 2026 UTME process. Candidates nationwide continue to await their results for admission into higher institutions. But what happens next? The answer lies in how quickly institutions will begin processing these results and issuing admission letters.

The excitement surrounding these results is matched only by the anxiety of those who have yet to receive theirs. As Benjamin noted, “This brings the total number of results released so far to 1,897,692.” Each result carries with it dreams and aspirations—some fulfilled and others dashed.

As we move forward, it’s essential to understand that each candidate’s journey is unique. The hope is that this year’s results will open doors to opportunities that lead to successful futures in various fields. Details remain unconfirmed about further batches or specific timelines for admission processes.

This moment is more than just numbers; it represents years of hard work and determination from students across Nigeria. With each result released, we get closer to understanding how this year’s examination cycle will shape the educational landscape of the country.

The West African Examinations Council (WAEC) has recently released the results for the 2026 First Series of the Computer-Based WASSCE for private candidates. Prior to this announcement, expectations were high as the examination was conducted from January 28 to February 14, 2026, with many candidates eager to see how they performed.

This year, a total of 10,523 candidates registered for the examination, marking an 11.49% increase from 2025. Out of these, 10,480 candidates sat for the examination across 166 centres nationwide. The results revealed that only 30.95% of candidates obtained credit or above in at least five subjects, including English Language and Mathematics.

Specifically, 4,598 candidates achieved credits in five subjects, while 3,429 candidates managed to secure credits that included both English and Mathematics. Additionally, 8,418 candidates (80.32%) had fully processed results, whereas 2,062 candidates (19.68%) had some subjects still under processing.

Unfortunately, 75 candidates had their results withheld due to alleged examination malpractice, a situation that has raised concerns among stakeholders. WAEC has indicated that investigations are ongoing, and decisions regarding these cases will be communicated directly to the affected candidates.

According to WAEC, the swift processing of results can be attributed to their growing reliance on digital examination systems. This shift has not only streamlined operations but has also improved the overall efficiency of result processing.

Moreover, provisions were made for candidates with special needs during the examination, with 43 such candidates registered, including those who are visually and hearing impaired. Moyosola Adesina, a WAEC spokesperson, confirmed that adequate measures were taken to ensure these candidates had a conducive examination environment.

The marking of scripts was conducted at three venues: Lagos, Enugu, and Kaduna, with 608 examiners participating in the coordination and marking exercise. This collaborative effort highlights WAEC’s commitment to maintaining high standards in the examination process.

As the education sector continues to evolve, the implications of these results will be closely monitored by educators, students, and policymakers alike. The portal for candidates to access their results is available at https://certrequest.waec.ng/.

Overall, the 2026 WASSCE results reflect both the challenges and achievements faced by candidates, with the examination body striving to enhance the integrity and accessibility of the examination process.
