The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has announced the commencement of the sale of application documents for the 2026 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) and Direct Entry admissions for the 2026/2027 academic session.
The announcement was made in a photo statement signed by the Registrar of the Board, Professor Ishaq Oloyede, and shared on JAMB’s official X handle.
According to the Board, eligibility to apply is age-based, stating that only candidates who will be at least sixteen years old by September 30, 2026, are generally qualified to participate in the exercise.
JAMB, however, disclosed that provisions have been made for underage candidates, subject to strict conditions.
The Board added that the UTME results of underage candidates will only be released after the conclusion of a comprehensive evaluation process.
