Keeping track of the 2026 JAMB Calendar is the first step toward a successful university admission in Nigeria. With the 2026/2027 academic session approaching, missing a single deadline—like the reprinting of examination slips—can disqualify a candidate before they even step into the hall.
Below is the official timeline every parent and student must follow to stay on track.
January – February: Registration Phase
- JAMB Registration (UTME): January 26 – February 28, 2026.
- Status: CLOSED. The window for the main UTME registration has officially ended.
- Direct Entry (DE) Registration: March 2 – April 25, 2026.
- Status: ONGOING. This is only available at JAMB Zonal and State offices.
March: Mock Examination & Preparation
The 2026 JAMB Calendar includes an optional preparatory window for students to familiarize themselves with the CBT environment.
- March 21: Candidates who opted for the mock can begin reprinting their mock slips to see their assigned centers.
- March 28: Optional Mock Examination. This score does not affect the main UTME result but is vital for practice.
April: The UTME Exam Month
This is the most critical period in the 2026 JAMB Calendar. Ensure all biometric verifications are sorted before these dates.
- April 9: Main Exam Slip Reprinting begins. All candidates must print this to see their final exam date, time, and venue.
- April 16 – April 25: Main UTME Examination window. * Late April: Release of UTME results (typically 72 hours to 14 days after the exam).
May – September: Post-UTME & Screening
Once results are out, the next phase of the 2026 JAMB Calendar shifts to individual institutions.
- Post-UTME Forms: Universities, Polytechnics, and Colleges of Education will begin selling their own screening forms.
- Data Upload: Ensure O’Level results (WAEC/NECO) are uploaded to the JAMB portal to remain eligible.
September – December: Admission & CAPS
- Admission List Batches: Schools will release First, Second, and Supplementary lists.
- JAMB CAPS: This is the final stage. You must log in to the Central Admission Processing System (CAPS) to officially “Accept” or “Reject” your admission offer.
Summary of the 2026 JAMB Calendar
- Direct Entry Deadline: April 25, 2026.
