JAMB Registration Portal For 2026/2027 UTME Form: Interested candidates, whether registering for UTME or Direct Entry, can use the JAMB Registration Portal for 2026/2027 and enjoy registration from January 15th to April 25th, with the exams scheduled from April 19th.
Since the start, JAMB has helped join secondary school graduates to institutions of higher education in Nigeria. JAMB exam is a requirement for admission into any Nigerian higher institution.
In this article, we will outline the compound information on JAMB such as the upcoming 2026 registration portal, the JAMB form, and the registration process.
JAMB was created by the Federal Government of Nigeria’s 1978 Act and has been updated in 1989 and 1993 to place qualified candidates into various tertiary institutions.
Matriculation examination for universities, mono-technics, polytechnics, and colleges of education are done by the commission. For this reason, the Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) was created by JAMB.
JAMB administers a test annually to decide who can get an offer for higher education. In 2020, more people registered than ever in the history of voting. Test scores issued by JAMB are from 0 to 400 and only remain valid for a year.
The universities, polytechnics, and other stakeholders join JAMB to agree on the Cut-off marks every year. According to the current policy, universities need 140, polytechnics require 120, while colleges of education ask for 100. A better JAMB result makes it more probable that you will be admitted.
