Official Printing of 2026 UTME Result Slips Commences May 18

"Candidates can begin printing their original 2026 UTME result slips from May 18, 2026."

The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board has announced that the printing of original 2026 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) result slips will officially begin on Monday, May 18, 2026. The original result slip is a mandatory document for all candidates proceeding to the post-UTME screening, physical verification, and admission clearance processes.

This document serves as the formal verification of a candidate's identity, including their passport photograph and comprehensive subject scores. Without this original document, candidates may face significant challenges during the physical screening at their prospective universities. The Board emphasized that this date aligns with the broader activation of the admission services. Candidates are encouraged to ensure they print their slips from the official JAMB e-Facility portal. It is recommended to use reputable cyber cafes or accredited CBT centres to avoid complications or print quality issues. The document remains a primary requirement during the admission cycle, which typically runs from June to September. Students should store digital and physical copies of their result slips securely, as they will be required during the final matriculation phase once admission offers are accepted via the CAPS platform.

How Nigerian University Aggregate Scores Are Calculated

Most Nigerian universities determine admission eligibility using a weighted aggregate formula combining your JAMB UTME score (scaled out of 50%), Post-UTME screening score (scaled out of 30%), and best 5 O-Level SSCE grades (scaled out of 20%). For instance, the University of Lagos (UNILAG) uses a strict 50:30:20 ratio. Other institutions such as Ahmadu Bello University (ABU) use a 50:50 ratio between JAMB and Post-UTME.

CampusAI automates these institutional formulas instantly while validating your mandatory subject combinations against official JAMB brochure rules to prevent candidate disqualification.
