The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has officially activated the online portal for printing the 2026 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) Original Result Slips.
This development follows the board's conclusion of the mop-up examinations and foreign-based tests, allowing for the final processing and compilation of national rankings.

Prior to this activation, candidates could only check their results via text message (SMS).
JAMB’s Public Communication Advisor, Dr. Fabian Benjamin, confirmed the portal's launch in a statement on Wednesday, June 17, explaining that the original result slip includes advanced security features, the candidate's photograph, and national ranking.
Tertiary institutions strictly require this document for Post-UTME screening and final admission processing. Candidates can now access and print their slips from any internet-enabled device or accredited computer-based test (CBT) center.

The report followed the appointment of Professor Segun Aina as the board's new head, following the completion of the popular former registrar, Professor Ishaq Oloyede's tenure.
Oloyede, a former vice chancellor of the University of Ilorin, served eight years and spearheaded a period of revolutionising digital overhaul of the board's operations.
JAMB: Court jails man for three years
Earlier, Legit.ng reported that a Federal High Court in Katsina sentenced a young man, Ibrahim Abdulaziz, to three years in prison for impersonation during the UTME conducted by JAMB.
The court held that the offence struck at the credibility of public examinations and required firm punishment.
The conviction followed a trial in which prosecutors established that Abdulaziz posed as another candidate during the examination held in April 2025.
