The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has announced that the portal for printing the 2026 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination original result slips has not yet been activated for candidates.
The clarification was made by JAMB’s Public Communication Adviser, Fabian Benjamin, in a statement shared via his official X account.
Key Highlights:
“The printing of the 2026 UTME original result slip has not yet been activated. Candidates are kindly urged to be patient as the board has just concluded the foreign examinations and is also preparing to conduct the mop-up examination for candidates who were unable to sit for the main examination through no fault of theirs,” he stated.

Benjamin explained that the delay is connected to the ranking nature of the UTME, noting that the original result slip contains candidates’ rankings and therefore requires all examination processes and adjustments to be completed before release.
“Candidates are reminded that the UTME is a ranking examination, and the original result slip contains the ranking of candidates.
“Consequently, all necessary processes must be completed before the slips can be released,” he added.
The JAMB spokesperson assured candidates that the printing portal would be activated once all pending adjustments and examination processes are concluded.
“As soon as the necessary adjustments are concluded, the printing portal will be activated.
“This will be done shortly, and candidates will be duly informed when to proceed with the printing of their result slips,” Benjamin said.
He also appealed for patience and understanding from affected candidates while the board finalises the remaining stages of the examination process.
