The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has directed all candidates registered for the 2026 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) to begin printing their examination notification slips. This announcement, made on Friday, April 10, 2026, marks the final countdown to the commencement of the national computer-based tests.

The notification slip is a vital document that contains the candidate’s specific examination date, time, and assigned center. JAMB’s Head of Public Affairs emphasized that candidates must have a physical copy of this slip to be admitted into the examination hall. The board warned that candidates who fail to appear at their designated centers on the specified dates will forfeit the opportunity to sit for the exam.

"The printing process is straightforward and can be done from any internet-enabled device," the Board stated. "We advise candidates to print at least two copies—one to be kept for reference and the other to be submitted at the examination center. We also urge them to locate their centers ahead of time to avoid any last-minute delays."

Candidates can access their slips by visiting the official JAMB portal and entering either their registration number, email address, or phone number. To ensure a hitch-free exercise, the board has also reinforced its zero-tolerance policy regarding examination malpractice, noting that all centers are equipped with advanced biometric and CCTV surveillance. As the exam window approaches, candidates are encouraged to focus on their preparations and adhere strictly to all instructions provided on the notification slips.
