JAMB Adjusts 2027 UTME Arrival Time to 7:30am
The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has announced a change in the arrival time for candidates taking the first session of the 2027 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME). Candidates are now required to arrive at their designated Computer-Based Test (CBT) centres by 7:30am, an hour later than the previously scheduled 6:30am.
The examination will begin at 8:30am and conclude at 10:30am. This adjustment was communicated in JAMB's weekly bulletin released in Abuja and aims to address concerns regarding the safety and convenience of candidates traveling to their examination centres during early morning hours.
The decision was influenced by discussions held during JAMB's 2026 Management and IT Retreat, which took place in Ikot Ekpene, Akwa Ibom State, from September 6 to 11. The board acknowledged the challenges faced by candidates traveling long distances, some of whom would have needed to leave home before dawn to meet the earlier arrival time.
