JAMB Releases 2026 UTME Registration Guidelines and Deadlines

The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has issued guidelines and deadlines for the 2026 UTME registration process. Candidates are required to send their 11-digit NIN to 55019 or 66019 to generate a profile code, which cannot be changed once generated.

The registration will start from January 31st, 2026, and end on March 8th, 2026. Candidates are advised to ensure accurate data submission to avoid complications during the registration process.

Biometric issues should be resolved at the nearest JAMB office. Dual-screen usage during registration is mandatory to confirm passport photographs and biometric capture accuracy.
