The Nigerian Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) will start its annual examination exercise on Thursday, April 16, to Saturday, April 25, 2026, across Computer Based Centres CBD, in Nigeria and overseas.
Ahead of the exercise, JAMB has announced a slight adjustment to the arrival time for candidates sitting the 2026 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination, particularly those scheduled for the first session.
In a notice issued via its official X handle, the board stated that candidates for the first session are now expected to arrive at their examination centres by 7:00 a.m., instead of the earlier scheduled 6:30 a.m.
New Time Schedules
JAMB added that the examination will commence at 8:30 a.m. and end at 10:30 a.m.
“Attention 2026 UTME Candidates: This is to notify you of a slight adjustment to the arrival scheduled time, particularly for the first session, which is now 7:00 am as against the earlier published 6:30 am, while the scheduled start time for the session is now 8:30 am and end time 10:30 am,” the notice read.
Most CBT centres are several kilometres from the residences of candidates. The situation sparked criticism against the board in the past and was renewed this year.
The board also clarified that candidates are not required to reprint their examination slips following the adjustment.
The full daily timetable, as shared by JAMB, includes four sessions running from Monday to Friday, with adjusted timings across all batches to ensure smoother operations at Computer-Based Test (CBT) centres nationwide.
This adjustment comes in response to long-standing feedback from candidates and parents regarding the challenges of very early morning travel, including safety concerns on roads before dawn and logistical difficulties for those coming from distant locations.
Selected Centres Delisted
The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB), following the conduct of the 2026 Mock Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME), has delisted 23 Computer-Based Test (CBT) centres for technical deficiencies. The Board has also issued warnings to centres with minor technical issues, while one centre would no longer to be used in any of the Board’s examinations.
According to Fabian Benjamin, Ph.D, the Mock UTME, introduced to enable candidates familiarise themselves with the Computer-Based Test (CBT) environment, also serves as a critical platform for the Board to assess its level of preparedness. It provides an opportunity to identify centres that fall short of the required operational and technical standards.
In the aftermath of the 2026 Mock UTME, the Board’s internal review mechanisms identified a number of centres that failed to meet these standards.
Consequently, the Board has taken decisive steps, in line with its commitment to maintaining the integrity of its examination processes, to ensure that only centres that are fully prepared and compliant participate in the main UTME exercise.
