JAMB issues six-point checklist ahead of 2027 UTME registration

The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has released a six-point preparation checklist for prospective candidates ahead of the 2027 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME).

The guidelines are designed to help applicants stay organised and prevent common errors during the registration and admission process.

In a video published across its official platforms on Monday, the examination body mentioned the specific mandatory requirements. Prospective candidates must verify their National Identity Management Commission (NIMC) biodata, obtain a registered phone number, and secure an active email address before the portal opens.

The board also directed applicants to decide on their preferred institutions and courses of study ahead of time. Candidates are equally required to ensure their selected UTME subjects align accurately with their chosen academic programmes.

“As you prepare for the 2027 UTME, there are a few important things to get right before examination day. Get informed, get prepared, get ready for your 2027 UTME”, JAMB.

JAMB directed candidates to visit its official advisory portal, for more updates and accurate subject combinations. While the Federal Ministry of Information recently proposed March 15 to March 25 for the examinations, the board clarified that these timelines are tentative and subject to official confirmation.
