The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has officially confirmed that JAMB registers 1.8 million candidates for the ongoing Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) nationwide.
The announcement shows a significant turnout of prospective undergraduates seeking admission into Nigerian universities, polytechnics, and colleges of education.
JAMB Registers 1.8 Million Candidates Nationwide
With the confirmation that JAMB registers 1.8 million candidates, the Board highlighted the strong participation recorded across accredited CBT centres in the country. The high number reflects the increasing demand for tertiary education in Nigeria.
Officials further stressed that candidates who are yet to complete their registration must act immediately, as the deadline remains unchanged.
No Deadline Extension for UTME Registration
Despite appeals from some quarters, JAMB made it clear that there will be no extension of the registration deadline. The Board emphasized that adequate time was provided and warned that late registration will not be accommodated.
As JAMB registers 1.8 million candidates, the examination body remains firm in its stance to maintain its official timetable without adjustments.
What Candidates Should Do Now
Since JAMB registers 1.8 million candidates and will not extend the deadline, prospective applicants should:
- Complete registration only at accredited CBT centres
- Ensure proper biometric capture
- Verify subject combinations carefully
- Print and secure their registration slip
- Monitor official JAMB updates for exam details
The confirmation that JAMB registers 1.8 million candidates marks a major milestone in the 2026 UTME process, but candidates must ensure they meet all requirements before the portal closes.
