Okay, here's the breakdown for the JAMB 2026 exams:
Key Dates for JAMB UTME 2026:
E-PIN Sales: Monday, January 19, 2026 – Thursday, February 26, 2026
UTME Registration: Monday, January 26, 2026 – Saturday, February 28, 2026
Mock Exam Selection Deadline: Monday, February 16, 2026
Mock UTME Examination: Saturday, March 28, 2026
Main UTME Examination: Thursday, April 16, 2026 – Saturday, April 25, 2026
Direct Entry (DE) Registration: Monday, March 2, 2026 – Saturday, April 25, 2026
Important Notes:
Your specific exam date and time within the April 16-25 window will be assigned by JAMB and will appear on your registration slip. You'll need to check the JAMB e-facility portal (efacility.jamb.gov.ng) from early April to view your schedule.
Register early! JAMB rarely extends deadlines, and the portal can get very congested closer to the closing dates.
National Identification Number (NIN) is compulsory for all candidates.
The official novel for the 2026 UTME is "The Lekki Headmaster" by Kabir Alabi Garba.
