The examination body said candidates can now access and print their official result slips within two hours of issuance, following the completion of the main examination and mop-up exercise.
JAMB spokesperson, Fabian Benjamin, disclosed the development in a statement on Wednesday, noting that the original result slip contains important security features required for admission procedures.
The document includes candidates’ photographs, national ranking, and other verification details needed for post-UTME screening and tertiary institution admission processes.
JAMB said candidates can print their slips using any internet-enabled device, either personally or through accredited business centres.
The examination body advised candidates to carefully check their details after printing and keep copies of the document for future admission requirements.
The release followed the completion of the 2026 UTME main examination held in April and the mop-up exercise conducted on June 13 for candidates affected by technical and biometric challenges.
Results from the mop-up examination were released on June 16, paving the way for the availability of the original result slips.
