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.
According to a weekly bulletin of the Board, 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.
The bulletin further noted that, 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.
