The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has called on candidates for the 2026 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) to print their examination notification slips.
In a statement signed by JAMB’s Public Communication Advisor, Fabian Benjamin, the board said the slip printing exercise is now open to all candidates, ahead of the examination scheduled to commence on Thursday, April 16, 2026.
The notification slip contains vital information including candidates’ examination dates, venues and time, as the examination will be conducted over several days.
“All candidates who registered for the 2026 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) can now proceed to print their Examination Notification Slips,” the statement said.
JAMB advised candidates to print their slips early and make necessary logistical arrangements before their scheduled examination dates.
“Candidates are strongly advised to print their examination slips in order to confirm their examination date, venue, and time, as the exercise will be conducted over several days,” the board stated.
To access the slip, candidates are required to visit the board’s official website and click on the UTME slip printing link.
The board also urged candidates to familiarise themselves with their examination centres ahead of time to avoid last-minute challenges.
“Candidates are encouraged to print their slips early and familiarise themselves with their examination centres ahead of the examination date to avoid any inconvenience,” the statement added.
According to JAMB, each candidate has been assigned a specific schedule, which is clearly indicated on the notification slip to ensure proper coordination and smooth conduct of the examination.
“Each candidate has been assigned a specific schedule on the notification slip which enables the candidate to arrive at the centre well ahead of examination time to allow for proper screening and accreditation before the commencement of the examination,” the board said.
The examination body further disclosed that enhanced security measures have been introduced for this year’s exercise to curb malpractice, warning candidates and centre operators against any form of misconduct.
“This year’s examination features enhanced security measures designed to curb all forms of malpractice. Candidates and centres owners are therefore warned to desist from any form of misconduct, as strict sanctions will be applied,” the statement noted.
