JAMB Exam Slip Printing 2026 for UTME Candidates

The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has opened examination slip printing for candidates registered for the 2026 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME).

The 2026 UTME starts on 16 April 2026. That makes early printing necessary; the slip carries the date, time, and venue details that Matter on exam day.

Why the JAMB exam slip matters

The JAMB exam slip shows:

• the exam date
• the exam time
• the exam centre address

Those details help each candidate prepare properly. Without the slip, a candidate cannot enter the exam room.

The warning is plain too: a candidate who misses the exam loses that chance.

How candidates can check the JAMB slip on a phone

A candidate who wants to print with a phone can follow these steps:

1. Open Google Chrome on the phone.
2. Visit the JAMB examination slip printing page.
3. Tap the three dots at the top or bottom of the screen.
4. Select “Desktop Site”.
5. Enter the JAMB Registration Number, email address, or phone number.
6. Press “Print Examination Slip”.
7. Allow pop-ups on the phone.
8. Check the new page where the slip appears.

How candidates can print the JAMB slip on a computer

A candidate using a computer can do this:

1. Open any browser and visit the JAMB examination slip printing page.
2. Enter the JAMB Registration Number, email address, or phone number.
3. Click “Print Examination Slip”.
4. Check the exam date, time, and location carefully.
5. Print the slip or save it on the computer.

NB: Allow pop-ups in the browser settings.

Rules candidates should note

Candidates need to note these points closely:

• Do not take phones, watches, or other banned items to the exam centre. The full list appears in this JAMB prohibited items guide.
• Carry a printed copy of the slip.
• Use a thumbprint to enter the exam room.
• A candidate who misses the exam cannot take it again.
• Subjects cannot be changed at the exam centre.
• It helps to visit the exam centre early, so the location is known before the exam day.

How candidates can prepare for the 2026 JAMB UTME

Preparation still matters, even after the slip has been printed. Candidates can get ready with these steps:

• make a reading timetable for each subject
• use the JAMB syllabus to check the topics
• practise with JAMB past questions
• read the recommended JAMB textbooks
• use the JAMB CBT software to get used to computer-based answers
• check JAMB news online for fresh updates

JAMB warns candidates about score inflation claims

JAMB also warned candidates about fraudsters on WhatsApp who claim they can raise scores.

The board described those claims as “false and criminal”. It added that any candidate found involved may face cancellation of registration or withholding of results.

What candidates should do now

The next step is simple: print the slip early, confirm the exam date, time, and centre, then prepare for 16 April 2026.

That single page holds the details needed for the exam day; leaving it late is a risk no candidate should ignore.
