The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board has announced that candidates who sat for the 2026 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination can now print their original result slips.
The development marks an important stage in the admission process as universities, polytechnics, and colleges of education begin preparations for post-UTME screening exercises.
According to JAMB, the original result slip became available for printing on June 17, 2026, following the completion of key examination processes and post-assessment adjustments.
The board explained that the document contains critical information including the candidate’s photograph, national ranking, and other security features required for admission consideration.
JAMB noted that the original result slip is one of the official documents frequently requested by tertiary institutions during screening and admission exercises.
Candidates can access and print the document through the JAMB portal using internet-enabled devices or accredited business centres.
The release follows weeks of anticipation among candidates after the board previously delayed activation of the printing portal while mop-up examinations and foreign-based examinations were being concluded.
JAMB had earlier explained that the delay was necessary because the original result slip contains national rankings, making it important to complete all examination processes before finalising candidate records.
Education stakeholders believe the availability of the result slips will enable institutions to proceed with screening activities and admission planning without further delays.
The board has advised candidates to carefully verify all details on the printed document immediately after printing to ensure accuracy.
Candidates are also encouraged to keep copies of the document for future admission-related processes and institutional verification requirements.
The release of the original result slips comes shortly after JAMB completed its 2026 UTME mop-up examination process designed to accommodate candidates who encountered challenges during the main examination.
With admission activities expected to intensify in the coming weeks, thousands of candidates are expected to begin submitting their documents to institutions across the country.
The latest announcement provides clarity for candidates and institutions alike as the 2026 admission cycle gradually moves into its next phase.
