What Is the JAMB Original Result Slip (And Why It’s Different From Your Exam Slip)
Many candidates confuse two separate documents. Here is the difference:
| Document | Purpose | When Used |
|---|---|---|
| UTME Exam Slip | Entry pass into the CBT hall | Before and on exam day (April 2026) |
| Original Result Slip | Official proof of your UTME score | Post-UTME screening, admission, school registration, scholarships |
The exam slip you printed before April 16 is no longer relevant. The original result slip is the document every university, polytechnic, and college of education will ask for during your admission process. It carries your passport photograph, your score in each subject, your total out of 400, and your JAMB registration details — all officially stamped by the board.
Until today, candidates could only check their score via SMS (by texting UTMERESULT to 55019 or 66019). That SMS is not accepted by institutions. The original result slip is the only document that counts.

How to Print Your JAMB Original Result Slip 2026 (Step-by-Step)
Step 1: Go to the Official JAMB Portal
Visit efacility.jamb.gov.ng directly in your browser. Do not use any other website. The only portals that issue valid result slips are efacility.jamb.gov.ng and portal.jamb.gov.ng.
Step 2: Log In to Your Profile
Enter your registered email address and portal password. If you have forgotten your password, use the “Forgot Password” option on the login page to reset it — or visit any accredited CBT centre with your registration details.
Step 3: Navigate to Result Slip Printing
On your dashboard, look for “Print Result Slip” or the 2026 UTME result printing option. Select 2026 as your examination year and enter your JAMB registration number when prompted.
Step 4: Pay the ₦1,500 Fee
Click “Continue with Payment”. The fee is ₦1,500. Pay online using your ATM card (Visa, Mastercard, or Verve). This payment is made once — you can re-download and reprint as many times as you need after paying.
Step 5: Download and Print Your Slip
After payment is confirmed, your result slip will be available to download as a PDF. Print it on A4 paper. Make sure the text and your passport photograph are clearly visible — blurry or faded prints can cause problems at screening.
⚠️ Can’t print at home? Download the PDF, save it to Google Drive or your email, then take it to a cyber café or any accredited CBT centre for printing. Do not let anyone else log into your portal account on your behalf.
Step 6: Keep Multiple Printed Copies
Print at least two copies. Institutions frequently ask for the result slip more than once — during Post-UTME screening, final admission clearance, and course registration. Keep the originals; do not laminate until you have completed all admission stages.
Printing at a CBT Centre (Offline Option)
If you cannot access the portal online, JAMB has confirmed that candidates can visit any accredited CBT centre nationwide for printing and other related services.
What to bring to the CBT centre:
- Your JAMB registration number
- A valid ID (National ID, school ID, or birth certificate)
- Payment for the ₦1,500 printing fee (centre will process this for you)
CBT centre staff are authorised by JAMB to assist with result slip printing, change of institution, and other profile services. Do not pay anyone outside an accredited centre claiming they can print your slip for you.
What Information Is on the 2026 JAMB Result Slip?
Your original result slip contains:
- Your full name (as registered)
- JAMB registration number
- Passport photograph
- Subject-by-subject scores
- Total UTME score (out of 400)
- Your chosen institution and course
- Examination year and session details
This document is permanent — it does not expire and may be requested years later for scholarships, postgraduate admission, or NYSC verification.
What to Do After Printing Your Result Slip
Your next steps depend on your score:
| Score Range | Next Step |
|---|---|
| 200 and above | Monitor your institution’s Post-UTME screening announcement |
| 180–199 | Check if your institution accepts this range; some do with conditions |
| Below 180 | Consider change of institution, change of course, or Direct Entry |
Change of Institution: JAMB also activated the change of institution portal alongside result slip printing. If you want to switch your first-choice institution, visit efacility.jamb.gov.ng or any accredited CBT centre to make the change.

Is the JAMB result slip the same as the exam slip I printed before the test?
No. They are completely different documents. The exam slip was your entry pass for the April 2026 CBT test and is no longer needed.

Can I print my JAMB result slip on my phone?
You can complete payment and download the PDF on your phone via efacility.jamb.gov.ng on your mobile browser. However, the file needs to be printed on A4 paper. Transfer the PDF to your email or Google Drive, then print at a cyber café or CBT centre.
What happens if the score on my printed result slip is different from what I checked via SMS?
If there is a discrepancy, do not contact any third party. Visit your nearest JAMB office or accredited CBT centre in person with your registration slip and a valid ID to report the issue. Only JAMB can make corrections to your official result.
Is the JAMB result slip required for Post-UTME?
Yes. Almost every university, polytechnic, and college of education requires the original JAMB result slip as part of their Post-UTME or screening process. Do not attend any screening without a printed copy.
Does the JAMB result slip expire?
No. Your JAMB original result slip does not expire. It is a permanent academic record tied to your 2026 UTME and may be requested during admission, clearance, scholarship applications, or postgraduate processes years later.
