Step-by-step: How to check, print 2026 UTME result slip

The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has taken a significant step by releasing the initial batch of results for the 2026 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME). While candidates can now access their scores through a simple SMS service, the board has clarified that the official result slip printing functionality will be activated at a later stage. This phased approach ensures that candidates have timely access to their performance while the administrative processes for slip generation are finalized.

Candidates are strongly cautioned against manipulating the SMS received from the official platform (55019/66019) to fabricate or alter scores with the intent to mislead others, including parents. Such actions constitute a serious criminal offence.

JAMB has also issued a stern warning against any form of score manipulation or falsification. The board emphasized that tampering with official result messages is a serious criminal offense, urging candidates and their guardians to desist from such acts. This cautionary note underscores JAMB's commitment to maintaining the integrity of the examination process and ensuring fairness for all participants.

Once activated, candidates can visit the e-Facility portal at efacility.jamb.gov.ng, log in with their credentials, and proceed to print their result slip for a fee of N1,500. The slip will contain essential details, including the candidate's photograph and scores, which are crucial for subsequent admission processes. JAMB also advises candidates to use only official websites to avoid scams and to keep multiple copies of their slips for future reference.
