How to Check JAMB Mop-Up UTME Result 2026

The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has officially released the 2026 Mop-Up UTME results. Candidates who took part in the mop-up examination can now check their scores through the official JAMB result-checking portal.

The mop-up examination was conducted for candidates who could not complete the main UTME due to technical issues, biometric verification problems, and other approved reasons. Now that the results are out, the next step is to check your score and begin preparing for the admission process.

In this guide, you'll learn how to check your JAMB Mop-Up UTME result, what to do after checking your score, and answers to some of the questions candidates ask most often.

Checking your JAMB Mop-Up result is easy and only takes a few minutes.

3. Click on Check Result.
4. Your UTME result will appear on the screen.
5. You can print your result or save a copy for future use.

Check Through SMS (If Available)

JAMB may also allow candidates to check their results through SMS.

To do this:

• Open the SMS app on the phone number you used for JAMB registration.
• Type UTMERESULT.
• Send it to the official JAMB shortcode.
• Wait for JAMB to send your result as a text message.

If the SMS service is available, ensure you have enough airtime before sending the message.

What to Do After Checking Your Result

After checking your result, don't stop there. There are a few more things you should do.

• First, look at your score carefully and compare it with the cut-off mark for the course and school you want to apply to. This will give you an idea of your admission chances.
• Next, print your official JAMB Result Slip if your school requires it during admission or Post-UTME registration. This document is different from the result displayed on the portal and is often needed during the admission process.
• You should also keep checking your JAMB CAPS and your school's admission portal for updates. Many institutions begin their admission process shortly after the release of UTME results.
• Finally, keep your registration number and result safe. You may need them several times before your admission process is completed.
