The board advised prospective candidates to ensure that their names, dates of birth, and other biodata registered with the National Identity Management Commission (NIMC) are accurate before commencing registration.
It also urged candidates to maintain an active email address and a registered phone number they can easily access, while ensuring they remember their login details and can receive messages through their email accounts.
JAMB further advised candidates to decide on their preferred courses and institutions early, stressing the need to understand the admission requirements for their chosen programmes.
The board also emphasised the importance of selecting the correct UTME subject combinations that align with candidates’ preferred courses.
The six recommendations are intended to help prospective candidates prepare adequately, avoid registration errors and make informed decisions during the admission process.
JAMB directed candidates seeking further information to visit its official website at www.ibas.jamb.gov.ng and follow its verified social media platforms for updates on the 2027 registration exercise.
The board, however, has yet to announce when registration for the 2027 UTME will commence.
Meanwhile, the education-reform/">Federal Ministry of Education has proposed that the 2027 UTME should hold between March 15 and 25 as part of efforts to harmonise the country’s national examination timetable. The dates remain proposed and have not been confirmed as the final examination schedule by JAMB.
The ministry also proposed that the National Examination Council (NECO) conduct its Senior School Certificate Examination between April 1 and May 14, 2027, while the West African Examinations Council (WAEC) should hold the West African Senior School Certificate Examination between May 11 and June 18, 2027.
