The JAMB has released a checklist for students preparing for the 2027 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME).
In a video posted on its official platforms on Monday, the board urged candidates to get organised before registration begins.
The first step is to check that your personal details with the National Identity Management Commission (NIMC) are correct.
Next, make sure you have a registered phone number and an active email address that you can easily access.
Candidates should also decide which course they want to study and which institution they want to attend.
Last, they should pick UTME subjects that match the course they have chosen.
JAMB said candidates who need more information should visit its official website at ibas.jamb.gov.ng and follow its verified social media pages for updates.
The board also noted that the Federal Ministry of Information and National Orientation published a proposed 2027 examination timetable on 14 October 2026.
It shows the UTME taking place from 15 to 25 March 2027.
However, JAMB stressed that these are proposed dates and not confirmed ones, so candidates should wait for official announcements from the examination bodies.
