The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has officially opened the portal for candidates to print their 2026 UTME examination notification slips. Candidates must obtain these slips before the commencement of exams, which are scheduled to run from April 16 to April 25, 2026.
Essential Exam Details
The notification slip is a mandatory document that provides candidates with:
-
Specific Examination Date: Exams are spread across several days; your slip indicates your assigned day.
-
Venue: The exact Computer-Based Test (CBT) centre location.
-
Time & Schedule: Candidates are urged to arrive early for mandatory screening and accreditation.
How to Print Your Exam Slip
To access your details, follow these steps on the official JAMB website:
-
Navigate to the “2026 UTME Slip Printing” section.
-
Enter your Registration Number, Email Address, or Phone Number.
-
Print the displayed slip and keep it safe for exam day.
Strict Anti-Malpractice Measures
With over 2.2 million candidates set to sit for the exam across 989 centres, JAMB has implemented enhanced security protocols:
-
CCTV Surveillance: All accredited centres must have functional, visible surveillance cameras linked to JAMB’s central monitoring system.
-
Real-Time Monitoring: Any centre that becomes “unviewable” during the examination process faces immediate delisting and loss of payment.
-
Candidate Penalties: JAMB warns that registrations or results from non-compliant centres may be cancelled to ensure the integrity of the scores.
Important Reminders
-
Early Familiarization: Candidates should visit their centers ahead of time to avoid last-minute logistical challenges.
-
Direct Entry (DE): Note that DE registration is currently ongoing alongside the UTME preparations.
-
Result Integrity: Following the prosecution of 94 candidates in 2025, the Board emphasizes that modern reforms are in place to ensure only authentic grades are used for tertiary admissions.
