\n\nThe Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has debunked a viral result slip claiming that a candidate from Cross River State scored 394 out of 400 in the 2026 UTME, describing it as completely fake. 
The result, which circulated widely on social media, allegedly showed near-perfect scores in all subjects. However, JAMB’s spokesperson, Fabian Benjamin, said the document was fabricated and misleading, urging the public not to believe or share it. 
According to the board, one major red flag is that UTME results are currently “view-only” and not issued in printable formats like the one being shared online. Officials also pointed out that the registration number on the slip does not match JAMB’s official system format, further proving it is fake. 
JAMB warned Nigerians to rely only on its official channels for checking results, noting that misinformation like this can create unnecessary confusion among candidates and parents. 
This incident also highlights a growing concern: manipulated or fake exam results, especially as technology and social media make it easier for such content to spread quickly.
