The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has announced that candidates can now print their 2026 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) original result slips within two hours of issuance.
This was contained in a statement issued on Wednesday by JAMB’s spokesperson, Fabian Benjamin.
According to the statement, the original result slips include candidates’ photographs, national ranking, and other security features required for post-UTME screening and admission processes in tertiary institutions.
“The 2026 UTME Original Result Slip will be available for printing within the next two hours today, Wednesday, 17th June, 2026,” the statement said.
It added that the document is an official requirement for post-UTME processing and admission consideration by tertiary institutions.
“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,” it stated.
JAMB also advised candidates that the slips can be printed using any internet enabled device, including personal computers, smartphones, or accredited business centres.
“Candidates can conveniently print their Original Result Slip from any internet enabled device, whether at home, in the office, or at accredited business centres,” the board added.
Candidates were urged to carefully verify their details after printing and retain copies for use during admission processes.
The 2026 UTME examinations were conducted in April, while a mop-up exercise was held on June 13 for candidates affected by technical glitches and biometric challenges.
JAMB released the mop-up results on June 16, 2026.
According to the board, printing of original result slips was temporarily delayed to allow completion of foreign-based examinations and mop-up exercises.
Earlier, on May 19, JAMB had appealed for patience while finalising the process.
With the release of the slips, candidates are now expected to proceed with post-UTME applications for the 2026/2027 academic session as tertiary institutions begin screening exercises.
