The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has officially announced that the 2026 UTME Original Result Slip is now available for printing from Wednesday, 17th June, 2026.
This development is important for all candidates seeking admission into universities, polytechnics, colleges of education, and other tertiary institutions across Nigeria, as the Original Result Slip is one of the key documents required during admission processing and Post-UTME registration.
What is the Original UTME Result Slip?
The Original UTME Result Slip is the official version of a candidate's UTME result issued by JAMB. Unlike the notification of result printed immediately after the examination, the Original Result Slip contains additional security and verification features.
Some of the information contained on the slip includes:
Candidate's passport photograph
UTME scores
National ranking
Registration details
Examination details
Security features for authentication
These features make the document acceptable for official admission purposes.
Why is the Original Result Slip Important?
The Original Result Slip serves as proof of a candidate's UTME performance and is often required for:
Post-UTME registration
Admission screening exercises
Clearance and verification processes
Scholarship applications
Future admission-related documentation
Most tertiary institutions request this document during their admission processes; therefore, candidates should obtain and keep it safely.
How to Print the 2026 UTME Original Result Slip
Candidates can conveniently print their Original Result Slip using any internet-enabled device. The process can be completed:
At home
In offices
At accredited CBT centres
At business or cyber cafés
Ensure that you have access to the email address or phone number used during JAMB registration, as these may be required during the printing process.
Important Advice to Candidates
After printing the Original Result Slip, candidates should
1. Carefully verify all personal details.
2. Confirm that their photograph is correctly displayed.
3. Check that their scores and other information are accurate.
4. Keep multiple copies for future use.
5. Store both digital and physical copies safely.
Any discrepancy noticed should be reported promptly through the appropriate JAMB channels.
