Why We Withheld Some UTME Results – JAMB Explains

The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board has clarified why some candidates are seeing a “No Result Yet” status when checking their Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination results.

In a statement signed by its spokesperson Fabian Benjaminon on Tuesday, the board said the development affects underage candidates whose results have not been released.

It stated, “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.’”

JAMB reiterated that only candidates who will be at least 16 years old by September 30, 2026, are eligible to register for and sit the UTME.

However, it noted that exceptions exist for academically outstanding candidates.

“As stipulated by regulation, only candidates who will be at least 16 years old by 30th September 2026 are eligible,” the board said.

The board explained that underage candidates may still be considered under an exceptional category, but must meet strict performance criteria.

It said, “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.”

JAMB added that only candidates who meet the 320 benchmark will be shortlisted for further screening.

“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,” the statement noted.

For now, the board maintained that results of underage candidates will remain withheld pending the screening process.
