The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has announced that candidates who registered for the 2026 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) can now print their examination notification slips.

The board disclosed this in a statement signed by its Public Communication Adviser, Fabian Benjamin, on Thursday in Abuja.

Mr Benjamin said the examination would commence on April 16, urging candidates to print their slips to confirm their examination date, venue and time.

He advised candidates to visit the board’s website at www.jamb.gov.ng and click on “2026 UTME Slip Printing” to access and print their notification slips.

According to him, candidates are encouraged to print the slips early and familiarise themselves with their examination centres before the examination date to avoid any inconvenience.

He said each candidate had been assigned a specific examination schedule, adding that candidates should arrive at their centres in advance to allow for proper screening and accreditation before the examination commences.

Mr Benjamin added that enhanced security measures had been introduced for the 2026 UTME to curb examination malpractice.

He warned candidates and centre operators to desist from any misconduct, stressing that strict sanctions would be imposed on offenders.
