JAMB RULES OUT EXTENSION OF CLOSING DATE FOR 2026 UTME REGISTRATION

The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has reiterated that it will not extend the registration deadline for the 2026 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME).

JAMB announced that so far about one million candidates have already registered for the ongoing 2026 UTME. Candidates are to note that the sales of ePIN will end February 26th while registration ends February 28th, 2026, urging them to complete their registration without delay.

JAMB also expressed concern over the low turnout of candidates at some accredited CBT centres, noting that many candidates who have already purchased their ePINs are yet to finalize their registration.

According to the Board, the current examination schedule is tight, making any extension unlikely. Candidates are therefore advised to avoid last-minute rush and ensure they finish all registration processes before the deadline, as failure to do so may lead to missing the examination.

The Board warned candidates against relying on rumours of a possible extension and encouraged strict compliance with the official timeline.

It further explained that extending the registration period was practically impossible as its operational calendar was tightly aligned with those of other sister examination bodies.

Any extension would disrupt this coordinated schedule and encroach on timelines already allocated to other national examinations.

YOU CAN’T BE IN UNIVERSITY AND STILL WRITE JAMB

NEW JAMB UPDATE

A lot of students need to sit down and read this carefully.

JAMB has made it clear: you cannot run two admissions at the same time.

If you accepted admission last year (2025) into any university, polytechnic, college of education, or monotechnic, you are NOT allowed to register for JAMB 2026.

Yes. Even if you don’t like the course.

Even if you want to change school.

Even if you think “I’ll just try again.”

Once you accepted the admission, JAMB already recognizes you as a student.

So what does this mean?

If you are currently schooling, or you accepted admission last year, you have only TWO options:

Option 1:

Continue with the admission you already accepted.

No JAMB. No new course. No new school.

Option 2:

Formally withdraw your admission from that school.

This means writing a withdrawal letter and ensuring your admission is cleared from the system.

Only after this can you legally register for a new JAMB exam.

Now, let’s clear another confusion 👇

If you rejected admission in 2025 (you did NOT accept it on CAPS), then you are FREE to write JAMB 2026.

No problem. No restriction.

But if you clicked “ACCEPT” last year and did nothing after that, JAMB sees you as an active student.

And no, you cannot be in school and still “try JAMB again on the side.”

JAMB will block it.

This update is very important because many students don’t know this until it’s too late.

Before you register for JAMB:

• Check your CAPS status

• Confirm whether you accepted any admission last year

• Decide wisely, continue or withdraw

One wrong assumption can waste an entire year.

Stay informed.

Stay ahead.

Prepare wisely

🚨 No Time to Waste! 🚨
