Many Nigerian students are eager to know how to print their JAMB results after participating in the Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME).

Your JAMB result plays a major role in determining whether you meet the required cut off mark for admission into your preferred university, polytechnic, college of education, or any other tertiary institution in Nigeria.

JAMB has officially announced that the printing of the original 2026 UTME result slips will begin on Monday, May 18, 2026. Below, we will explain everything you need to know about the 2026 JAMB UTME result slip.

Types of JAMB Results You Can Print

There are two major types of JAMB result documents that candidates usually look for online. These are the JAMB Result Notification Slip and the Original JAMB Result Slip. Although many candidates often use the terms interchangeably, both documents are different.

1. JAMB Result Notification Slip

The JAMB result notification slip is usually the first result document that candidates access after JAMB releases the UTME results. It displays your score and gives you an overview of your performance in the examination.

This slip can usually be checked online using your JAMB registration number, email address, or phone number, depending on the option available on the JAMB portal.

However, candidates should understand that this is mainly a notification document and may not serve the same official purpose as the original JAMB result slip required for admission processing.

In some situations, the result notification portal may only remain accessible for a limited period after the release of results. This is why candidates are advised to check, save, and print the slip as early as possible.

2. Original JAMB Result Slip

The original JAMB result slip is the official result document issued by JAMB. This is the document most institutions request during admission screening, clearance, and registration.

Unlike the notification slip, the original JAMB result slip usually requires payment through the JAMB e-Facility portal. Candidates are expected to log in, complete the payment process, and then download or print the result slip.

The fee may change occasionally, so candidates are advised to confirm the current amount directly from the official JAMB portal before making payment.

Requirements Before You Can Print JAMB Result Slip

Before starting the printing process, make sure you have the following available:

  1. A valid email address and password used during JAMB registration

  2. Your JAMB registration number

  3. A stable internet connection

  4. A debit or credit card (or any supported payment option) to pay the N1,500 fee

  5. Access to a printer or a nearby business centre/JAMB CBT centre

If you cannot remember your login details, use the “Forgot Password” option on the portal or visit the nearest JAMB office with your registration information for assistance.

What to Do After Printing Your Result Slip

Printing your result slip is only one stage of the admission process. Here are some important things you should do immediately after printing it:

  1. Compare your score with your institution’s cut off mark. The 2026 minimum scores are 150 for universities, 140 for colleges of nursing, and 100 for polytechnics, monotechnics, colleges of education, and colleges of agriculture.

  2. Log in to JAMB CAPS (Central Admissions Processing System) and monitor it regularly for admission updates.

  3. Upload your O-Level results to your JAMB profile if you have not done so already. Institutions require your WAEC, NECO, or NABTEB results during admission consideration.

  4. Visit your institution’s official website regularly for post UTME screening announcements. Many schools begin post UTME registration shortly after releasing UTME results and close registration quickly.

  5. Respond quickly to any admission offer on CAPS to avoid losing the offer due to delay.
