JAMB announces release of 2026 UTME mop-up results
The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has announced the release of the results of the 2026 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) mop-up exercise.
In a statement issued on Tuesday, JAMB’s spokesperson, Fabian Benjamin, said candidates who participated in the mop-up examination can now access their results through the board’s approved result-checking platforms.
According to the board, the release of the results marks the completion of the mop-up examination process, paving the way for the next stage of admissions activities.
Benjamin also disclosed that JAMB would immediately begin the ranking of candidates following the publication of the mop-up results.
The ranking process is a key step in determining candidates’ eligibility and placement for admission into tertiary institutions across the country.
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.”
The mop-up examination was conducted on June 13, 2026, to provide another opportunity for candidates who were biometrically verified for the main UTME but were unable to sit the examination due to technical glitches, biometric verification challenges and other disruptions at their examination centres.
The main 2026 UTME was held between April 16 and April 25.
