UTME 2026 Examination Timeline

The 2026 UTME main examination was conducted in April 2026, while a mop-up examination was held on June 13 for candidates affected by technical or biometric challenges.

Results from the mop-up exercise were released on Tuesday, June 16, 2026.

JAMB noted that the delay in releasing printable result slips was necessary to accommodate both foreign-based examinations and mop-up assessments.

Admission Process Set to Begin

With the release of the original result slips, candidates are now expected to proceed with applications for admission into tertiary institutions for the 2026/2027 academic session.

Many universities, polytechnics, and colleges of education are already preparing to begin or commence their post-UTME screening exercises.

JAMB Advises Candidates

The examination body urged candidates to ensure accuracy when printing their result slips and to keep multiple copies for future use during admission verification.

JAMB also emphasized that the result slip remains an essential document in the admission process and must be handled carefully.
