Their details have likewise been sent to those schools for admission processing; this implies the next check will not occur only on the JAMB side. It will include the schools picked by the candidates.

The selected schools are expected to call the prospects for screening.

Why these prospects were picked

For the 2026 UTME, that mark is 320 and above. It positions the affected underage candidates in the group JAMB has actually chosen to evaluate further, instead of leave their results in the earlier “No Outcome Yet” stage.
What took place in the past now

Their websites showed “No Result Yet”, which indicated the board had not released their results for typical admission processing at that point. The most recent message from JAMB now shows that prospects who reached the 320 mark have transferred to another check.
