2026 UTME: JAMB Releases Mop-Up Examination Results

The 2026 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) mop-up exercise results have been made public by the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB).

According to reports, the Board’s Public Communication Advisor, Fabian Benjamin, made the announcement in a statement on Tuesday.

According to Benjamin, applicants who participated in the mop-up exam can now view their results using the channels authorized by the Board for result-checking.

He claims that when the mop-up exercise was successfully completed, the results were made public.

“Candidates who took the test can check their results through the Board’s established result-checking channels,” he stated.

Benjamin continued by saying that the Board will now go on to the next phase of the admissions process, which would start with the ranking of applicants.

“The Board will start ranking the candidates after the mop-up process is successfully completed and the findings are made public.

“After that, it is anticipated that results printing for admission purposes will start before the weekend,” he stated.

Additionally, the Board thanked candidates and stakeholders for their cooperation and patience during the process.

According to Benjamin, the mop-up exam’s flawless execution demonstrated the Board’s dedication to making sure impacted candidates had an equal chance to finish the test.

The mop-up exercise took place on June 13, 2026, a Saturday.

For candidates who were biometrically validated for the main UTME but were unable to take the test because of issues noted at some centers, it was their last chance.

During the main exam session, the impacted applicants reportedly experienced technical difficulties, biometric problems, or other disruptions.

The primary 2026 UTME took place from April 16 to April 25.

Affected candidates are anticipated to examine their scores when the mop-up results are released and wait for the Board to take additional admission-related actions.
