JAMB has made a slight adjustment to the scheduled timing for the 2026 UTME, affecting candidates in the first session. According to an official update, candidates scheduled for the first session are now expected to arrive at their centres by 7:00AM, instead of the earlier communicated 6:30AM.

In case you have not downloaded the JAMB CBT Mobile App and/or JAMB CBT Software for Computers, you still have time to do so. You'll be able to have access to 60,000 JAMB past questions and answers, explanations and video lessons. Candidates can also join the JAMB WhatsApp group where JAMB 2026 candidates or prospective students of a particular school can ask questions, share their concerns and get instant answers.

Updated First Session Schedule Arrival Time: 7:00AM (previously 6:30AM) Exam Start Time: 8:30AM Exam End Time: 10:30AM JAMB emphasized that candidates do not need to reprint their examination slips, as the adjustment does not affect other details already provided.
