JAMB Proposes 2027 Exam Timetable to Streamline Admissions
The Federal Government has proposed a coordinated examination timetable for 2027, released by the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) on October 23. The timetable aims to reduce scheduling conflicts among Nigeria's major testing bodies and expedite the tertiary admission process.
The Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) is scheduled for March 15 to 25, 2027. The National Examinations Council's Senior School Certificate Examination will take place from April 1 to May 14, while the West African Senior School Certificate Examination is set for May 11 to June 18.
Additionally, the National and Technical Examinations Board examination is planned for June 1 to July 5, and the National Board for Arabic and Islamic Studies is scheduled from June 10 to July 9. The government aims to have results from WAEC, NABTEB, and NBAIS available by August 2027, allowing eligible candidates to begin the tertiary admission process by September.
JAMB clarified that these dates are proposed and urged candidates to monitor official channels for confirmed schedules.
