The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has announced that candidates registered for the 2026 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) can now print their Examination Notification Slips. The notice was released on Thursday in Abuja by JAMB's Public Communication Advisor, Fabian Benjamin. The slip contains vital details including the examination date, time, and approved centre. Candidates are required to log in to their JAMB e-Facility portal to print the slip. The 2026 UTME is scheduled to take place between April 19 and April 26, 2026.
Nigerian candidates sitting for the 2026 UTME must print their Examination Notification Slips immediately to avoid last-minute technical issues or access problems during the test. Without the slip, candidates may not be allowed into the exam centre, regardless of prior registration.
This development fits into the broader shift toward digital processes in Nigeria's education system, as seen with JAMB's e-facility, online registration, and computer-based testing. Reliance on digital access means students in areas with poor internet or limited devices face added challenges, highlighting ongoing inequalities in exam preparedness.
Candidates should ensure they log in to the JAMB e-Facility portal early, print their slips, and confirm that all details—especially the exam date, time, and centre—are correct. Any discrepancies should be reported promptly through JAMB's official channels.
