The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board has urged candidates to remain patient as the printing of the 2026 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination original result slips has not yet been activated.
JAMB spokesperson, Fabian Benjamin, disclosed this in a statement issued on Tuesday.
According to the board, the delay is due to the completion of foreign examinations and preparations for the mop-up examination for candidates who were unable to participate in the main examination through no fault of theirs.
“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,” the statement read.
JAMB explained that the UTME is a ranking examination and that the original result slip contains candidates’ rankings, making it necessary for all required processes to be completed before the slips are released.
“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,” Benjamin stated.
