"JAMB confirms that the printing of original UTME result slips will begin on Monday, May 18, 2026."

The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has announced that the printing of original 2026 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) result slips will officially commence on Monday, May 18, 2026. This vital document contains crucial information, including the candidate’s passport photograph, comprehensive registration details, and subject-by-subject performance scores. The original slip is an indispensable requirement for the upcoming Post-UTME screening exercises, physical verification processes, and general admission clearance procedures across all universities and polytechnics in Nigeria. By providing this official document, the board enables institutions to verify the authenticity of candidates' results and confirm their identity. Candidates are encouraged to access the JAMB portal starting from the designated date to print their slips. It is recommended that candidates keep multiple physical and digital copies of this document for their records. The announcement comes as a follow-up to the successful release of the 2026 UTME results, marking the next critical phase in the admission lifecycle. Stakeholders are optimistic that this timeline will allow enough preparation time for students ahead of their various institutional screening dates.

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.
