The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has officially released the results of the 2026 UTME mop up exercise. Candidates who sat for the special examination can now check their scores through the Board's approved channels.

The mop up examination was conducted on Saturday, June 13, 2026, to provide a final 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.

What Is the JAMB Mop Up Result Slip?

The JAMB Mop Up Result Slip is the official document issued by the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) to candidates who participated in the Mop Up Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME).

It serves as proof of the candidate's performance in the examination and contains important details that may be required during the admission process. Unlike the simple result notification that displays only scores, the official result slip provides a more comprehensive record of a candidate's examination information.

The slip usually contains:

  • The Candidate's full name
  • JAMB registration number
  • Passport photograph
  • Examination year
  • Subject combination
  • Individual subject scores
  • Total UTME score

Why the JAMB Mop Up Result Slip Is Important

Many institutions and admission agencies require the official result slip rather than the ordinary score notification.

The result slip may be needed for:

1. Post UTME Registration

Many universities request the official JAMB result slip during Post UTME applications.

2. Admission Screening

The document helps institutions verify candidates' examination records.

3. Admission Processing

Candidates may need the result slip when completing admission-related procedures.

4. Personal Record Keeping

It serves as an official record of examination performance.

Common Challenges You May Face While Checking Your Result

1. Result Still Pending

In some cases, JAMB may still be processing and uploading results. If your score is not yet available, give it some time and check again later.

2. Incorrect Profile Information

Using the wrong email address, password, or registration details can prevent access to your JAMB profile. Always verify your login credentials before attempting to sign in.

3. Unsuccessful Payment Transaction

If you are required to make a payment for a service and the transaction does not go through, confirm the payment status before initiating another one to avoid duplicate charges.

4. Temporary Portal Downtime

During periods of high demand, the JAMB portal may experience slow loading times or become temporarily inaccessible. If this happens, wait for a while and try accessing the portal again when traffic reduces.
