2026 UTME/DE: CANDIDATES ADVISED TO CREATE PROFILES WITH VERIFIED NIN DETAILS AHEAD OF REGISTRATION EXERCISE 

The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) wishes to inform all candidates desirous of registering for the 2026 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) and Direct Entry(DE) that they should proceed to create their JAMB profiles if they have not already done so.

Candidates are strongly advised to first verify that their National Identification Number (NIN) details are accurate and correctly captured before initiating profile creation. This precaution is necessary to prevent the creation of profiles with incorrect NIN information, which could lead to avoidable challenges during registration and subsequent examination processes.
The Board further states that it has concluded plans to commence the 2026 UTME and Direct Entry (DE) registration any moment from now. Candidates are therefore encouraged to take advantage of this period to prepare adequately by ensuring that all their personal details are correct and consistent across relevant databases.

JAMB wishes to emphasize that opportunities for correction of candidates’ data are increasingly shrinking due to the numerous infractions often associated with the opening of correction windows. In view of this, candidates are advised to take personal responsibility for the accuracy of their details from the onset, as requests for corrections may not always be accommodated.
The Board counts on the cooperation of all candidates to ensure a smooth, transparent, and hitch-free 2026 UTME/DE registration .
