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.
The announcement was made on Wednesday in a statement 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.
It stated that, “The 2026 UTME Original Result Slip will be available for printing within the next two hours today, Wednesday, 17th June, 2026.”

The board explained that the document is an official requirement for admission consideration.
“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,” the statement added.
JAMB noted that candidates can print their result slips using any internet-enabled device, including personal computers or accredited business centres.
It further advised candidates to carefully verify their details after printing and retain copies for use during the admission process.
The 2026 UTME main examination was conducted in April 2026, while a mop-up exercise was held on June 13 for candidates affected by technical issues or biometric challenges during the main exam.
Results of the mop-up exercise were released on Tuesday, June 16.
JAMB explained that the delay in releasing the original result slips was due to the need to conclude foreign-based examinations and the mop-up exercise.
Earlier on May 19, the board had appealed for patience while finalising these processes.
With the release of the printable slips, candidates can now proceed with applications for admission into tertiary institutions for the 2026/2027 academic session, as many schools have already begun or are set to commence post-UTME screenings.
