Delay in Printing 2026 UTME Original Result Slips: JAMB Explains Postponement

Primarily, candidates who attempted to access the e-Facility portal have experienced a sudden delay in printing 2026 UTME original result slips. Although the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) previously announced that printing would commence on Monday, May 18, 2026, the board has temporarily postponed the activation of the printing portal to conclude vital internal arrangements.

Why JAMB Postponed the Printing Portal Activation

Notably, the Board’s spokesperson, Dr. Fabian Benjamin, issued an official statement to address the panic among candidates who met blank pages or errors on the site. Indeed, JAMB urges the public to remain patient as technical teams finalize the system parameters:

Foreign UTME Exams: JAMB just concluded the administration of the 2026 UTME for international candidates across various foreign testing centers.
Mop-Up Examination Plans: The board is currently organizing a mop-up examination for candidates who missed the main exercise due to verified technical hitches through no fault of their own.
Ranking Examination Nature: Because the UTME serves as a national ranking examination, JAMB must aggregate and harmonize all scores—including foreign and mop-up results—before fully opening the database for official document generation.

What Candidates Should Do During This Postponement

Specifically, the board warns that the temporary technical delay does not invalidate any score notification previously received via SMS. Furthermore, applicants should follow these defensive measures to protect their data during this waiting period:

Do Not Repay: If you have already processed your e-Facility payment for the result slip, your transaction remains valid. Do not attempt to pay again.
Avoid Unofficial Agents: Stay away from street cybercafés claiming they can “bypass” the portal delay or inflate your results.
Focus on O’Level Uploads: Consequently, you should use this waiting period to visit an accredited CBT center and upload your WAEC or NECO results to the JAMB CAPS portal, as that system remains fully active.
