In a surprising move, the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has temporarily deactivated the portal used for printing Original JAMB Result Slips. This update affects thousands of candidates nationwide, especially those who have not yet printed their original results.
WHAT DOES THIS MEAN?
Simply put, candidates can no longer generate or print their Original JAMB Result until JAMB reopens the service. There is currently no official date for when the portal will be reactivated, leaving many 2025/2026 UTME candidates in a state of uncertainty.
WHY THIS MATTERS
Several institutions across Nigeria require the Original JAMB Result Slip as part of their Post-UTME registration process, especially during online application stages. For schools that enforce this, candidates without the document might face delays or rejection during screening.
IF YOU’VE ALREADY PRINTED YOURS…
CONGRATULATIONS! You’re one step ahead. You don’t need to worry about this current deactivation — you can proceed with your Post-UTME registration where applicable.
IF YOU HAVEN’T PRINTED YOURS YET…
You’ll unfortunately have to wait until JAMB restores the service. There’s currently no alternative to obtain the result officially. Candidates are advised to stay calm, avoid panic, and resist the temptation to use unverified third-party platforms.
FINAL THOUGHTS
While this may seem like a setback, it’s important to stay hopeful. JAMB could reactivate the portal at any time — possibly once internal upgrades or system maintenance are complete. We encourage candidates to keep checking the official JAMB portal and follow trusted sources for updates.
UNTIL THEN, KEEP YOUR DOCUMENTS READY AND STAY ALERT.
GOOD LUCK TO ALL CANDIDATES!
