Printing of 2026 Original UTME Result Slips Commences May 18th

"JAMB confirms that original result slips will be available for printing starting Monday, May 18, 2026."

The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has officially communicated that the printing of original 2026 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) result slips will begin on Monday, May 18, 2026. This document is a critical requirement for post-UTME screening and final admission clearance across all tertiary institutions in Nigeria. Candidates are advised to access their results through the official JAMB portal using their profile login details.

It is imperative that students obtain their original results in good time, as many institutions will require this document during their document verification stages. Candidates should be wary of cybercafes or unauthorized agents charging exorbitant fees for this service. The official fee for result slip printing is clearly stipulated on the JAMB platform, and students should ensure they use only the official service centers. Any discrepancies observed in the result slips should be reported immediately to the nearest JAMB office or through the online support portal. This release is a major step in the transition from examination to the admissions phase for millions of Nigerian students.

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.
