UTME 2026: JAMB releases original result slips for candidates

Candidates who participated in the 2026 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) can now obtain their original result slips, the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) announced Wednesday.

The board stated that the original result slip is a crucial document for admission processing by tertiary institutions. It contains essential details such as candidates' photographs, national rankings, and various security features. "The 2026 UTME Original Result Slip will be available for printing today, Wednesday, 17 June 2026," the statement read.

JAMB emphasized that the original result slip is a mandatory document for post-UTME screenings and admission considerations by universities and polytechnics. Candidates are advised to meticulously verify the information on their printed slips and keep them safe for future admission-related processes.

The release of these slips is expected to streamline the post-UTME registration and subsequent admission procedures for students aiming for placement in tertiary institutions for the 2026/2027 academic session. In related news, JAMB and tertiary institution leaders have agreed on admission timelines: public universities must finalize admissions by October 31, private universities by November 30, and other institutions by December 31. Institutions failing to meet these deadlines risk losing access to the Central Admission Processing System (CAPS).
