JUST IN: JAMB Releases Registration Guidelines For 2026 UTME

The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has released the official guidelines for the 2026 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME).
Key points from the guidelines:
All prospective candidates must declare their current admission status — indicating whether they are already enrolled in a tertiary institution.
The 2026 UTME is strictly for fresh admissions; those already admitted into any tertiary institution are not eligible under the new directive.
JAMB emphasizes that failure to declare accurately, or falsifying admission status, will lead to cancelled registration, revoked admission, and possible prosecution under relevant laws.
