The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has clarified why some candidates are seeing the message “No Result Yet” after the 2026 UTME.
JAMB stated that this situation is not due to technical errors but is linked to age eligibility requirements.
Key Points from JAMB’s Clarification:
- Minimum Age Requirement: Candidates must be at least 16 years old by September 30, 2026, to be fully eligible for UTME results.
- Underage Candidates: Those who do not meet the age requirement will not have their results released.
- Exceptional Cases: Underage candidates who score 320 or above may still be considered, but only after passing a special screening process.
According to JAMB, this policy ensures that candidates admitted into tertiary institutions are mature enough to cope with academic and social demands.
This announcement addresses speculation about technical glitches and underscores the importance of meeting age requirements before registering for UTME.
