The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board, JAMB, has outlined six important steps prospective candidates should take ahead of the 2027 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination, UTME, urging them to verify their personal details and prepare their registration requirements before the exercise begins.
The board advised candidates to ensure that their biodata with the National Identity Management Commission, NIMC, was accurate, obtain a registered phone number and maintain an active email address ahead of registration.
In a video shared on its official platforms on Monday, JAMB also urged candidates to decide on their preferred courses and institutions and confirm that their chosen UTME subject combinations aligned with their intended programmes.
The board said the checklist was designed to help candidates prepare adequately and avoid common mistakes during the registration and admission processes.
“As you prepare for the 2027 UTME, there are a few important things to get right before examination day,” the board stated in the accompanying caption.
The six steps outlined by JAMB are:
1. Verify NIMC biodata: Ensure that personal details with the National Identity Management Commission are correct.
2. Get a registered phone number: Obtain a registered phone number for the registration exercise.
3. Provide an active email address: Ensure that the email address is accessible and functional.
4. Decide on a preferred course: Identify the programme you intend to study.
5. Choose a preferred institution: Decide on the institution you wish to attend.
6. Select the correct UTME subjects: Ensure that your subject combination meets the requirements of your chosen programme.
JAMB also directed candidates seeking further information to visit its official website at www.ibas.jamb.gov.ng and follow its verified platforms for updates on the 2027 registration exercise.
“Get informed, get prepared, get ready for your 2027 UTME,” the board urged prospective candidates.
Meanwhile, the Federal Ministry of Information and National Orientation published a proposed timetable for the 2027 examinations on October 14, 2026, indicating March 15 to 25, 2027, as the proposed dates for the UTME.
However, the ministry clarified that the timetable contained proposed timelines and should not be regarded as a final confirmation of the examination dates.
JAMB also shared the proposed timeline on its social media platforms, urging candidates to rely on official announcements from the relevant examination bodies for confirmed dates.
