Some candidates who sat for the 2026 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) are seeing a "No Result Yet" status when checking their results because they are underage. The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) confirmed that results for candidates below the required age have not been released. According to JAMB, only candidates who will be at least 16 years old by September 30, 2026, were eligible to sit for the exam. The board's spokesperson, Fabian Benjamin, stated that when underage candidates check their results, the system displays "No Result Yet." Exceptions to the age requirement are allowed only for academically outstanding candidates.
Students who are underage will not see their UTME results regardless of performance, as JAMB has withheld them outright. Affected candidates should confirm their eligibility status based on the September 30, 2026 age requirement and seek official clarification if they believe they qualify under the exception for outstanding academic performance.
