The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Admissions (JAMB) has given reasons why some candidates that sat for the 2026 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) are yet to access their results.
JAMB spokesman, Dr Fabian Benjamin offered explanation on the “No Result Yet” status of those candidates in a statement released on Tuesday evening.
The statement reads:
CANDIDATES WITH “NO RESULT YET” STATUS
The Board has received numerous inquiries from parents regarding candidates whose results are currently displaying “No Result Yet.”
Please be informed that results for underage candidates have not been released. When such candidates attempt to check their results, the system will return the message “No Result Yet.”
As stipulated by regulation, only candidates who will be at least 16 years old by 30th September 2026 are eligible to register for and sit the UTME. However, underage candidates may be considered under the exceptional category, provided they demonstrate outstanding ability by scoring 320 and above in the UTME and attaining at least 80% in subsequent screening stages.
In line with the agreement reached and endorsed by parents of these underage candidates, only those who score 320 and above will be shortlisted and invited to proceed to the next stages of the screening. Successful candidates at that stage may then be considered for admission under the exceptional candidates provision.
For now, results for underage candidates remain unreleased.
