JAMB Postpones Activation of 2026 Original UTME Result Printing Portal

The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has explained the reason behind the delay in activating the portal for the printing of the 2026 UTME Original Result Slips.

According to the Board, the printing portal has not yet been activated because it recently concluded the conduct of foreign examinations and is currently making arrangements for the mop-up examination for candidates who were unable to participate in the main UTME through no fault of theirs.

In a statement issued by the Board’s Public Communication Adviser, Fabian Benjamin, candidates were urged to remain patient as necessary processes are still being finalized before the release of the slips.

JAMB emphasized that the Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) is a ranking examination, noting that the Original Result Slip contains candidates’ national ranking and related performance details. Consequently, the Board stated that all pending processes must be completed before the slips can be made available for printing.

The Board assured candidates that once all necessary adjustments and procedures are concluded, the portal will be activated promptly and the public will be officially informed.

The development comes amid growing anticipation among admission seekers, as the Original Result Slip remains one of the key documents required for Post-UTME registration, screening exercises, and admission processing across tertiary institutions nationwide.
