The board announced the development on Thursday, stating that candidates should visit its official portal to access their examination slips, which contain vital information including venue, date, and time of examination.

JAMB advised candidates to visit jamb.gov.ng and click on the “2026 Slip Printing” option to print their examination slips before the commencement of the examination.

The update comes after the board dismissed a viral notice claiming the examination had been postponed.

It described the information as fake and malicious, urging candidates to ignore such messages.

The 2026 UTME is scheduled to hold between Thursday, April 16 and Saturday, April 25, 2026, across approved Computer-Based Test centres nationwide.

The board previously conducted a mock examination on March 28, which recorded technical challenges in some centres. Out of 224,597 registered candidates, 152,586 participated across 989 CBT centres.

JAMB later confirmed that over 20 centres were delisted due to technical shortcomings.

Authorities also warned candidates against fraudsters circulating false promises on social media, including claims of score manipulation, stressing that such actions are criminal and could lead to sanctions, including cancellation of registration or withholding of results.
