The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has officially activated its online portal for printing the 2026 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) Original Result Slips. This development follows the conclusion of all mop-up examinations and foreign-based tests, allowing for final processing and compilation of national rankings.
Background
Previously, candidates could only check their results via SMS. With the newly activated portal, candidates can now download official documents. JAMB explicitly directed that candidates print their final generated PDF result slips in full color to preserve security features.
Official Confirmation
JAMB's Public Communication Advisor, Dr. Fabian Benjamin, confirmed the portal's launch in a statement on Wednesday, June 17. He explained 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.

Additional News
In a previous report, Legit.ng compiled the identities of all individuals who have led JAMB since the board was established in 1978. The report followed the appointment of Professor Segun Aina as the board's new head, after the completion of former registrar Professor Ishaq Oloyede's tenure. Oloyede served from 2016 to 2026 and spearheaded a digital overhaul of the board's operations.
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.
