How to print your JAMB original result slip, and why it matters
JAMB's original result slip carries your official UTME score and is printed through the e-Facility portal, not handed out at a CBT centre. Here is what it contains and how the process works.
Editorial Desk
Your JAMB original result slip is printed by you through the official JAMB e-Facility portal, not collected in person from a CBT centre, and it carries your passport photograph, biodata, institution and course choices, and your UTME score. Universities and other institutions treat this printed slip, not a screenshot of your score, as the document that confirms your result for admission purposes, so print it from JAMB’s own domain rather than a third-party site.
Where do I print my JAMB original result slip?
Print your original result slip through the official JAMB e-Facility portal, logging in with your UTME registration number and profile password, or through JAMB’s dedicated slip printing service. A payment is required before the slip is released; the exact fee has been reported differently across sources and cycles, so confirm the current amount on the portal itself before paying.
What information is actually on the result slip?
The original result slip carries your passport photograph, your biodata, your institution and course choices as registered, and your UTME score for that cycle. This is the version of your result that carries institutional weight; a screen capture of your result on a mobile notification or a third-party checking site is not the equivalent of the printed original slip for admission purposes.
Can I print a result slip from a previous year, not just the current cycle?
Yes, the printing service is generally open to candidates from the current UTME cycle and from previous years, provided you select the correct exam year along with your JAMB registration number when logging in. Using the wrong exam year is a common reason the portal cannot locate a result that does in fact exist.
Is it safe to use a third-party website to print my result slip?
No. Some third-party sites advertise help printing your JAMB result slip, and using them risks exposing your JAMB login credentials to a site that has no legitimate connection to JAMB. Print your slip only through JAMB’s own e-Facility portal or its dedicated slip printing domain, both linked from the JAMB exam page.
Does my printed score matter if it is below my target course’s cut-off?
Your printed slip records your actual score regardless of whether it clears any particular cut-off. What the score means for your admission chances is covered separately in the JAMB cut-off mark guide; printing the slip itself is simply the step that gives you and any institution an official record of that score, independent of whether it turns out to be high enough for your first course choice.
What should I do after printing my result slip?
Once you have your printed result slip, the next steps depend on your score against your target course’s cut-off and on your O-level result being correctly uploaded and verified, covered in the O-level upload guide. Keep the printed slip together with your other admission documents rather than relying only on the digital copy, since some institutions ask to see the physical printout during in-person admission processing.
