JAMB issues six point checklist for 2027 UTME registration

JAMB has released a six point checklist that candidates must follow before starting the 2027 UTME registration. The board says the steps will help avoid mistakes and ensure a smooth admission process.

The first three items focus on personal data: candidates must verify that their NIMC biodata is correct, have a registered phone number and maintain an active email address. The next three steps relate to academic choices: applicants should decide on their preferred course and institution and confirm that their chosen UTME subject combination matches the programme requirements.

JAMB shared the checklist in a video on its official platforms on Monday and urged candidates to get their biodata ready, confirm subject combinations and understand course requirements. The board directed students to its website at www.ibas.JAMB.gov.ng and to follow its verified social media channels for updates on the registration exercise.

The Federal Ministry of Information and National Orientation previously published a proposed timetable that lists the 2027 UTME for 15 to 25 March 2027, but the ministry notes the dates are provisional and not finalised by JAMB. JAMB reiterated that the timeline is only a proposal and advised candidates to await official confirmation before planning exam dates.
