The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has dismissed as fake a widely circulated result slip claiming a candidate from Cross River State scored 394 in the 2026 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME).
The result, which went viral on social media platform X, was shared by user @Onsogbu and purportedly showed Miss Okon Winniefred Sampson scoring 394 out of a possible 400.
The post also claimed the candidate scored 96 in Use of English, 99 in Biology, 98 in Chemistry and 99 in Physics, describing the performance as “exceptional academic achievement.”
However, reacting on Sunday, JAMB spokesperson, Dr Fabian Benjamin, described the document as fake and urged the public to disregard it.

He said it was surprising that such fabricated information was being circulated by some individuals, despite clear guidelines on the authenticity of UTME results.
Benjamin explained that UTME results are strictly view-only and not issued in printable or shareable templates, noting that the circulating document clearly did not originate from the Board’s system.
According to him, the result slip also contained a registration number format that does not correspond with JAMB’s system-generated structure, describing it as another clear sign of fraud.
He added that several inconsistencies on the document immediately exposed it as fake, even on casual inspection.
The Board advised members of the public to rely only on official communication channels for authentic information, stressing that all UTME results remain view-only at present.
