The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has finalised all arrangements to conduct the 2026 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) slated to hold between 16th -22nd April, 2026.
No fewer than 2.2million candidates are expected to sit the UTME in about 966
Computer-Based Test (CBT) centres across the country following the deletion of 23
centres for poor performance in the recently-concluded Mock-UTME.
It is expected by now that all the candidates must have printed out their examination
slips for the exercise.
Candidates who have not done so are to visit our website at https://www.jamb.gov.ng
and click on 2026 Slip Printing to print.
The slip contained vital information such as the date of examination, time, venue and
other critical data that would facilitate a seamless examination and biometric
verification exercise.
Additionally, necessary arrangements have been made for candidates living with
disabilities to be processed through the machinery put in place by the JAMB Equal
Opportunity Group (JEOG) headed by the erudite scholar and former Executive
Secretary of National Universities Commission(NUC), Prof. Peter Okebukola.
Candidates are also to note that prohibited items are not allowed in the examination
hall as the Board will not hesitate to invoke all extant laws on examination
malpractices and unwholesome behaviours during and after the examination.
Similarly, adequate provisions have been made for candidates with other challenges
to sit the examination as the Board has all it takes to conduct an all-inclusive
examination in line with international best practices just as relevant technology has
been deployed to safeguard the sanctity of the examination.
