JAMB Activates 2026 UTME Original Result Slip Portal: Candidates Urged to Print Before Post-UTME Begins
The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has officially activated the portal for the printing of the 2026 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) Original Result Slip, providing candidates with access to one of the most important documents required during the admission process.
The development comes as universities, polytechnics, and colleges of education across Nigeria prepare to commence their post-UTME screening exercises for the 2026/2027 academic session.
Unlike the result notification previously issued to candidates, the Original Result Slip contains additional details, including the candidate’s passport photograph, examination information, and other security features used for verification during admission processing.
Why the Original Result Slip Matters
For many tertiary institutions, the JAMB Original Result Slip is an essential document during post-UTME registration, admission screening, and clearance exercises. Candidates who fail to obtain the document early may experience delays when institutions begin admission-related activities.
Admission experts have consistently advised candidates to keep multiple copies of important documents, including the Original Result Slip, as they may be required at different stages of the admission process.
How to Print Your 2026 JAMB Original Result Slip
Candidates can access and print their Original Result Slip through JAMB’s official e-Facility platform.
Steps to Print the Slip
1. Visit the official JAMB e-Facility portal.
2. Log in using the email address and password linked to your JAMB profile.
3. Locate and select the “Print Original Result Slip” service.
4. Follow the instructions provided on the portal.
5. Download and print the document after successful processing.
Candidates who encounter difficulties are advised to visit accredited CBT centres or reputable business centres for assistance.
Verify Your Details Carefully
After printing the slip, candidates should carefully review all information displayed on the document. Particular attention should be paid to:
– Full name
– JAMB registration number
– UTME score
– Passport photograph
– Examination details
Any discrepancy should be reported through official JAMB channels as soon as possible.
What Candidates Should Do Next
With the activation of the Original Result Slip portal, candidates are encouraged to stay alert for post-UTME announcements from their institutions of choice. Schools are expected to begin releasing screening guidelines, cut-off marks, and registration procedures in the coming weeks.
Candidates should also ensure that their O’Level results have been properly uploaded to the Central Admissions Processing System (CAPS), as this remains a crucial requirement for admission consideration.
As the admission season gathers momentum, securing and safeguarding all required documents early could help candidates avoid unnecessary last-minute challenges.
