“The 2026 UTME Original Result Slip will be available for printing within the next two hours today, Wednesday, 17th June, 2026,” the statement read.
It added, “The Original Result Slip contains the candidate’s photograph, national ranking, and other security features. It is part of the official document required for post-UTME processing and consideration by tertiary institutions.
Candidates can conveniently print their Original Result Slip from any internet-enabled device, whether at home, in the office, or at accredited business centres.”
Candidates were advised to carefully review their details after printing and retain copies for future admission-related use.
The 2026 UTME main examinations were conducted in April 2026, while a mop-up exercise was held on June 13, 2026, for candidates affected by technical glitches or biometric challenges during the main examination.
Results from the mop-up exercise were released on Tuesday, June 16.
Printing of original result slips had earlier been delayed to allow the completion of foreign-based examinations and the mop-up exercise. On May 19, JAMB had appealed for patience as it concluded the processes.
The release of printable slips will enable candidates to proceed with applications to tertiary institutions for the 2026/2027 admission cycle, as many institutions have already commenced or are preparing to begin post-UTME registrations.
