The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board has released the results of the 2026 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination mop-up exercise.
In a statement on Tuesday, JAMB’s Public Communication Advisor, Fabian Benjamin, announced that “candidates who participated in the examination can check their results through the Board’s established result-checking channels.”
He said, “Following the successful conclusion of the mop-up exercise and the release of the results, the Board will commence the ranking of candidates.
“Thereafter, the printing of results for admission purposes is expected to begin before the weekend.”
Benjamin expressed appreciation for the patience and cooperation of candidates and stakeholders throughout the process.
The mop-up examination was held on Saturday, June 13, 2026, as a final opportunity for candidates who were biometrically verified for the main UTME but could not sit the exam due to technical glitches, biometric issues, or other disruptions at examination centres.
The main 2026 UTME took place between April 16 and April 25, 2026.
