The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has announced the release of results for the 2026 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) mop-up exercise.
JAMB spokesperson Fabian Benjamin disclosed this in a statement issued on Tuesday, saying candidates who participated in the exercise can now access their results through the Board’s approved result-checking platforms.
According to him, the release of the mop-up results marks the conclusion of the examination process and paves the way for the next stage of the 2026 admissions exercise.
“With the successful conduct of the mop-up exercise and the publication of the results, the Board will proceed with the ranking of candidates,” Benjamin said.
He added that the printing of result slips required for admission processing is expected to begin before the end of the week.
The Board also expressed appreciation to candidates, parents, and other stakeholders for their patience and cooperation throughout the examination period.
The mop-up examination was held on June 13, 2026, to accommodate candidates who were successfully verified during the main UTME but were unable to sit for the test due to technical issues, biometric verification challenges, or disruptions at their examination centres.
The 2026 UTME was conducted in April, with more than two million candidates participating nationwide.
JAMB has already released the main UTME results, retained the minimum admission cut-off marks at 150 for universities and 100 for polytechnics, and opened its portal for candidates seeking changes of course or institution.
