The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board has confirmed that candidates can begin printing their 2026 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination original result slips on Wednesday. JAMB’s spokesperson, Fabian Benjamin, disclosed this in a statement, noting that the slips carry candidates’ photographs, national ranking, and other security features required for Post UTME screening and admission into 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 read. It further explained that the document forms part of the official requirements for post UTME processing and consideration by tertiary Institutions, and confirmed that candidates can print it from any internet enabled device, whether at home, in the office, or at accredited business centres.

JAMB urged candidates to review their details thoroughly after printing and retain copies for future admission related purposes.
The board’s announcement follows the release of results from the 2026 UTME Mop Up examination on Tuesday, June 16. The Mop Up exercise was conducted on June 13 for candidates who encountered technical glitches or biometric issues during the main examination, which took place in April. Printing of the original result slips had earlier been delayed to allow JAMB to complete foreign based examinations alongside the Mop Up round, with the board appealing for patience on May 19 as it wrapped up those processes.
With the slips now printable, candidates can proceed with applications to Tertiary Institutions for the 2026/2027 admission cycle. Several schools have already commenced, or are preparing to commence, Post UTME registration exercises, making the timing of the slip release significant for candidates working against institutional deadlines.
Stakeholders within the admissions process have repeatedly stressed the importance of the original result slip, given its security features and role in verifying candidate identity during screening exercises across Universities, Polytechnics, and colleges of education nationwide.
