JAMB Begins Printing of 2026 UTME Exam Slips

The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has started the printing of examination slips for candidates who registered for the 2026 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME).

The 2026 UTME will begin on 16 April 2026. Because of this, candidates are advised to print their exam slips early. The slip contains important details such as the exam date, time, and centre where the exam will take place.

Why Print the JAMB Exam Slip

The exam slip shows the following details:

• The exam date
• The exam time
• The address of the exam centre

These details help candidates prepare properly for the exam day. A candidate will not be allowed into the exam hall without the exam slip.

JAMB also made it clear that any candidate who misses the exam will lose the opportunity to take it again.

How to Check the JAMB Slip Using a Phone

Candidates who want to print their slip with a phone can follow these steps:

1. Open Google Chrome on the phone.
2. Go to the JAMB exam slip printing page.
3. Tap the three dots at the top or bottom of the browser.
4. Select “Desktop Site.”
5. Enter your JAMB Registration Number, email address, or phone number.
6. Click “Print Examination Slip.”
7. Allow pop-ups on the phone.

Important Rules for Candidates

Candidates should take note of the following:

• Do not bring phones, wristwatches, or other banned items to the exam centre.
• Bring a printed copy of the exam slip.
• Candidates will use their thumbprint for verification before entering the exam hall.
• Anyone who misses the exam will not be given another chance.
• Subjects cannot be changed at the exam centre.
• It is better to visit the exam centre before the exam day to know the exact location.

How to Prepare for the 2026 UTME

Even after printing the slip, candidates still need to prepare well. Some useful steps include:

• Create a reading timetable for each subject.
• Use the JAMB syllabus to study the required topics.
• Practise with JAMB past questions.
• Read the recommended JAMB textbooks.
• Use CBT practice software to get used to computer-based exams.
• Follow JAMB updates online for new information.

NOTE:

1. The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board has also warned candidates about people on WhatsApp who claim they can increase JAMB scores.
2. According to the board, these claims are false and illegal. Any candidate found working with such people may face cancellation of registration or withholding of results.
3. Candidates should print their exam slips early, check the exam date, time, and centre, and start preparing for the 16 April 2026 UTME.
4. The exam slip is very important because it contains all the details needed for the exam day. Waiting until the last minute to print it can create unnecessary problems.
