Heads up, candidates: JAMB says you still can’t print the 2026 UTME original result slip — not yet. The board’s spokesperson, Fabian Benjamin, said this in a statement shared on X on Tuesday, May 19.
Benjamin explained the hold-up, he said JAMB has just finished foreign exams and is preparing a mop-up UTME for those who missed the main test. Because the UTME is a ranking exam and the original slip shows candidates’ rankings, “all necessary processes must be completed before the slips can be released.”
He added: “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.”
JAMB apologised for the delay and thanked candidates for their understanding. Meanwhile, the board says over 1.8 million UTME results have been released out of 2.2 million candidates — so check your score via SMS while slip printing waits in the wings.
