JAMB HAS NOT RELEASED 18 PERCENT UTME SCORE CLAIM
Claims that only 18 percent of candidates scored 200 and above in the 2026 UTME have not been confirmed. No official score breakdown has been released by JAMB
Legitdan news report that several viral Facebook posts have claimed that the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board reported that only 18 percent of candidates scored 200 and above in the April 16, 2026 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination.
There is currently no official evidence to support the claim. JAMB has not released any verified score distribution or performance percentage for the 2026 examination.
Available updates from the board have focused on the release of results in batches, warnings against fake score reports, and issues relating to withheld results. Reports also indicate that more than 2.2 million candidates registered for the examination.
No credible news platform has published the alleged 18 percent figure. This suggests that the claim is false or misleading.
Candidates and the public have been advised to rely only on verified information from official JAMB channels and trusted news sources while awaiting the full performance report.
