The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board has announced that candidates registered for the 2026 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination can now access and print their notification slips from the board's official website, as the examination is set to kick off on April 16.
The board made this known on Thursday through a statement released in Abuja and signed by its Public Communication Adviser, Fabian Benjamin, who called on all registered candidates to act without delay in printing their slips ahead of the fast-approaching examination date.
Benjamin explained that to access the notification slip, candidates are required to visit the board's official website and select the option marked "2026 UTME Slip Printing." Once accessed, the slip will reveal each candidate's assigned examination date, centre and time information the board described as essential and which every candidate must verify and confirm before the commencement of the examination.
The board's spokesman further urged candidates to go beyond merely printing the slips and to physically locate their examination centres well before examination day, warning that ignorance of one's centre location would not be accepted as grounds for lateness or absence. He stressed that early arrival at examination centres on the day of the test remained non-negotiable, as each candidate would be required to undergo proper screening and accreditation before being allowed into the examination hall, a process that demands adequate time.
On the matter of security, JAMB left no room for ambiguity, announcing that far-reaching and enhanced security measures had been put in place across all examination centres for the 2026 UTME, in a determined bid to stamp out the menace of examination malpractice that has plagued previous editions of the test. Benjamin issued a stern warning to candidates and centre operators alike, making clear that any individual found engaging in or facilitating any form of misconduct during the examination would face the full weight of the board's disciplinary measures, with no exceptions to be made.
