JAMB releases 2026 UTME original result slips for printing

Candidates can now print their original result slips for the 2026 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) within two hours of issuance, the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) announced Wednesday. This expedited process aims to facilitate the admission cycle for the upcoming academic year.

According to a statement by JAMB spokesperson Fabian Benjamin, the original result slips contain crucial security features, including candidates' photographs and national rankings. These details are officially required for post-UTME screening and the subsequent admission processes by tertiary institutions nationwide.

The 2026 UTME main examinations were conducted in April, with a mop-up examination held on June 13 for candidates who experienced technical or biometric issues. Results from the mop-up were released on June 16. The printing of original result slips was previously delayed to accommodate the completion of foreign-based examinations and the mop-up round.

JAMB urged candidates to meticulously review their details after printing and to retain copies for future admission-related purposes. The timely release of these slips is critical, as many institutions have already commenced or are about to begin their post-UTME registrations for the 2026/2027 admission cycle.
