Printing of Original 2026 UTME Result Slips to Begin May 18

"JAMB has scheduled the commencement of printing original result slips for all 2026 UTME candidates for May 18, 2026."

The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has informed all candidates who participated in the 2026 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) that the printing of their official, original result slips will commence on Monday, May 18, 2026. This document is a critical requirement for post-UTME screening exercises and final admission documentation across all Nigerian universities.

Candidates are advised to obtain their result slips only through official JAMB-accredited CBT centres or via their personal JAMB portal profiles. The board warns that altered or fraudulent result slips will lead to immediate disqualification from the admission process. The original slip contains verified information sourced directly from the National Identity Management Commission (NIMC) database, ensuring the accuracy of student records.

Students should ensure they have sufficient funds in their JAMB profile wallets to cover the administrative fees for printing. It is also recommended that candidates print multiple copies and keep digital backups for safety. As admission screening is expected to follow shortly after this period, candidates are encouraged to start collating their O'level results and other credentials to ensure a seamless transition into the 2026/2027 academic session. Any issues regarding data discrepancies on the slip should be directed to the nearest JAMB office immediately for rectification.

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.
