										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>On April 26, 2026, the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) discredited a viral fake result slip that claimed a candidate scored an astonishing 394 in the Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME). This development highlights the critical importance of relying on official communication channels, especially in an age where social media misinformation can spread rapidly.</p>
<p>The circulated document, shared by social media user @Onsogbu, appeared on a fabricated result template. It boasted scores that included 96 in Use of English, 99 in Biology, 98 in Chemistry, and 99 in Physics—all leading to that inflated total of 394. However, JAMB emphasized that such results are only accessible to candidates via SMS and are view-only.</p>
<p>Why is this significant? Because JAMB&#8217;s registration numbers are system-generated and do not align with the pattern &#8216;20269&#8217; seen on the fake slip. Dr. Benjamin Fabian, JAMB&#8217;s spokesperson, described the situation as both surprising and misleading. He stated, &#8220;A purported result slip currently being circulated&#8230; is entirely fake.&#8221;</p>
<p>This incident is not isolated; it reflects a broader issue of misinformation that can undermine academic achievement and trust in educational systems. In Cross River State and beyond, students are particularly vulnerable to believing false claims that can affect their future.</p>
<p>But what does this mean for students? JAMB strongly advised the public to disregard this fake result and rely solely on official channels for accurate information. As Dr. Fabian pointed out, &#8220;The circulated document appears on a fabricated result template, which on its own is a sufficient indication that it is not authentic.&#8221;</p>
<p>This warning serves as an essential reminder for candidates preparing for their future academic pursuits: always verify results through legitimate sources. The next steps for JAMB include reinforcing their communication strategies to ensure that students remain informed about how to access their actual UTME results.</p>
