How to Print Your JAMB 2026 Examination Slip — Do It Right Now

By Campusflash Editorial Team | April 10, 2026 | Reading time: 5 minutes

JAMB has officially announced that examination slip printing is now open for all 2026 UTME candidates. The exam starts on Thursday, April 16 — that is six days away. If you have not printed your slip yet, stop what you are doing and do it now.

Your examination slip is your entry pass into the CBT centre. Without it, you will not be allowed to write the exam — regardless of the reason. This guide shows you exactly how to print it, what to check once you have it, and what to do next.

Important: JAMB has also warned candidates to ignore a viral WhatsApp message claiming the 2026 UTME has been postponed. That message is fake. The board has confirmed it did not originate from JAMB. The exam is proceeding as scheduled from April 16 to April 25, 2026.

How to Print Your JAMB 2026 Examination Slip — Step by Step

Open your browser and go to the official JAMB website: www.jamb.gov.ng
Look for and click on “2026 Slip Printing” on the homepage
You will be directed to the slip printing portal at slipsprinting.jamb.gov.ng
Enter your JAMB Registration Number or the email address you used during registration
Click “Print Examination Slip”
Your exam details will be displayed on screen — review them carefully before printing
Download and print your slip
Make sure the printed copy is clear and fully readable — a faded or blurry copy may cause problems at the centre

Campusflash tip: Print at least two copies. Keep one safe at home as a backup and carry the other to the exam. If you are printing from a phone, download the slip first, then go to a cyber café or print shop for a clean, colour printout. Do not print in black and white — print in colour.

What Your Examination Slip Contains

Your slip is not just a confirmation — it contains critical information you must know before exam day:

Your full name — confirm it matches your ID exactly
Your JAMB registration number
Your exam date — within the April 16–25 window
Your session time — morning, afternoon, or evening
Your assigned CBT centre — name and full address

What to Check Immediately After Printing

Do not fold your slip and put it away without reading it carefully. Check every single detail:

Is your name spelled correctly? It must match the name on your ID card exactly
Is your exam date within April 16–25? If it shows a different date, log in again and verify
Do you know where your CBT centre is? Search the address on Google Maps right now — not the morning of your exam
Is your session time clearly printed? Note it and plan your departure time accordingly — arrive at least one hour before your session

Campusflash tip: Once you confirm your centre address, open Google Maps and check the route from your home. Note how long it takes and add 30 minutes for traffic. Lagos and other major cities can be deeply unpredictable — leave earlier than you think you need to.

What If There Is an Error on Your Slip?

If you notice a mistake on your slip — particularly an error in your name, date of birth, or centre — do not ignore it. Contact JAMB immediately through the following channels:

Visit the JAMB portal at efacility.jamb.gov.ng and check your profile for any correction options
Visit your nearest JAMB state office in person with your registration details
Do not wait until exam day to raise an error — by then it will be too late to fix

Important Rules About Your Exam Slip

Print in colour — do not print in black and white
Do not laminate it — laminated slips are routinely rejected at CBT centres
Do not fold it excessively — keep it flat and clean in a folder or envelope
Carry it to the exam hall — you cannot enter without it
Your centre is fixed — you can only write at the specific centre assigned to you. Do not go to a different centre, even if it is closer to your home

About the UTME Postponement Rumour

A fake press release circulating on WhatsApp claims that the 2026 UTME has been postponed. JAMB has confirmed this is completely false. The board described the notice as “malicious” and stated clearly that it did not originate from JAMB. All arrangements for the 2026 UTME remain on course.

The exam is happening. April 16 to April 25. Print your slip and prepare.

Frequently Asked Questions

The slip printing portal is showing an error — what should I do?

Try again after a few minutes. The portal sometimes slows down during peak usage periods as millions of candidates attempt to print simultaneously. If the error persists, try a different browser or device. If it still does not work after several attempts, visit your nearest JAMB state office or contact JAMB through the official website.

Can I print my slip from my phone?

Yes — you can access the portal from a smartphone. However, for a cleaner printout, download the slip on your phone and then take it to a cyber café or print shop to print. Make sure the final printed copy is clear, colour, and fully readable.

What if I have forgotten my registration number or email?

Check the SMS JAMB sent to your phone during registration — your registration number was included. You can also check the receipt from your registration centre. If you still cannot find it, visit your registration centre or the nearest JAMB state office with a valid ID.

Do I need to print a new slip if I already printed one earlier?

If you printed your slip before today’s official announcement and your details were already visible, your slip is valid. However, it is still advisable to reprint now to ensure you have the most current version with all details confirmed. Keep the new copy alongside any previous print.

Is the 2026 UTME really not postponed?

Correct — it is not postponed. JAMB has officially and publicly denied the fake press release circulating on WhatsApp. The examination proceeds as scheduled: April 16 to April 25, 2026. Ignore any message claiming otherwise — it is misinformation.

Final Word

Six days to JAMB. Your slip is available. Print it now — not tomorrow, not the night before your exam. Now.

Once it is printed, confirm your centre location, plan your route, and set your alarms. You have done the work. The exam is almost here.
