This result slip is one of the most important documents required during admission processing, screening exercises, and post-UTME registration.
As someone who has followed JAMB admission processes for years, one common mistake candidates do is waiting until the last minute before printing important documents. This often leads to stress and missing deadline.
If you wrote the 2026 UTME, now is the time for you to print your result slip and keep both the mobile and physical copies safe.
What Is the JAMB Result Slip?
The JAMB Result Slip is the official document that contains:
• Candidate’s full name
• Registration number
• Examination details
• UTME score
• Candidate’s photograph
• Examination centre information
• Other important JAMB records
Unlike the simple score notification many candidates see immediately after results are released, the official result slip serves as the recognized document required by schools during admission processing.
Most universities and polytechnics will request this document at different stages of the admission process
