Candidates who registered for the 2026 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) can now print their examination notification slips. The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) made the announcement, advising all registered candidates to log in to their portals to print the slips in preparation for the upcoming nationwide examination. The slips contain vital information including examination centres, dates, and candidate details. JAMB emphasized the need for candidates to complete this step to avoid challenges on the examination day. No deadline for printing the slips was specified in the announcement.
Nigerian students preparing for the 2026 UTME must act immediately to print their examination notification slips, as this is a mandatory step before sitting for the test. Without the slip, candidates risk being denied entry to their examination centres, regardless of prior registration.
This development fits into the broader pattern of JAMB's digital processes, which have increasingly shifted exam preparation steps online, from e-registration to e-slip printing. For many students, especially those in rural areas with limited internet access, delays in printing slips have previously led to missed examinations. As the UTME remains a critical gateway to tertiary education in Nigeria, timely compliance with JAMB's directives directly affects admission prospects.
Students should log in to their JAMB portal without delay, verify their details, and print their slips. Parents and guardians are advised to support candidates, particularly those without reliable internet access, to ensure they meet all pre-examination requirements.
