The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board has released detailed guidelines for the 2026 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination registration process, along with a list of common challenges candidates may encounter.
The announcement, made via the official JAMB X handle on Sunday, aims to assist prospective candidates in preparing for the upcoming registration.

“Candidates should ensure their personal details, including National Identification Number (NIN), email, and A-Level results, are accurate before generating a profile code.”

Ensure that the correct registration template is provided and all details are accurate before final submission at the centre.
JAMB emphasised the importance of accurate data, warning that mismatched information could lead to complications.
Candidates should make all necessary corrections with NIMC early and confirm that the changes have been reflected on their portal before registration (e.g., Name, Date of Birth, Gender, State of Origin).
GSM numbers and email addresses are unique identifiers; they cannot be changed or shared and must be functional before registration.
Candidates who encounter biometric issues during registration should visit the nearest JAMB office. No CBT centre should register a candidate forcefully.
