What Is the JAMB Exam Slip and Why Does It Matter?
Your JAMB Exam Slip (also called the Examination Notification Slip) is not the same as your registration slip. Many candidates make this mistake every year.
JAMB assigns exam centres after registration closes, because centres are allocated based on capacity, candidates are distributed across multiple dates, and logistics and security planning must be finalised. This is why exam centre details are only released later — through the reprinting process.
Without your exam slip, you will not be allowed into the examination hall.
What Information Is On Your 2026 JAMB Exam Slip?
The slip contains almost everything about your exam and your personal data, including:
| Information | Details |
|---|---|
| Exam Date | Your specific scheduled date within the April 16–25 window |
| Exam Centre | Name and full address of your CBT centre |
| Time of Exam | Your assigned session time |
| Personal Details | Full name, email, phone number, JAMB reg number |
| Exam Rules | Basic JAMB rules and regulations to note |
Candidates are strongly advised to carefully review all details on their slips and make adequate preparations ahead of their scheduled examination dates.

Step-by-Step: How to Reprint Your 2026 JAMB Exam Slip
Use only the official JAMB slip printing link to avoid scams — JAMB does not charge for this service. Do NOT use third-party websites or pay any “reprinting agents.”
Method 1: Via the Dedicated Reprint Portal (Easiest and Fastest)
Step 1: Visit https://slipsprinting.jamb.gov.ng/
Step 2: Enter your JAMB Registration Number, Email Address, or Phone Number used during registration.
Step 3: Complete any CAPTCHA if it appears.
Step 4: Click “Generate Examination Slip.”
Step 5: Download and print at least two coloured or black and white copies.
Method 2: Via the JAMB eFacility Portal
You can also access the slip via the main JAMB e-Facility portal at https://efacility.jamb.gov.ng under “Generate Examination Slip.”
Important: Printing can only be completed using a computer system with a printer attached. You can use your phone (DO NOT USE OPERA MINI, USE CHROME, BRAVE, ETC) to confirm if your slip is available on the portal and also download beforehand if you wish, before going to a cyber café to print.
Common Problems and How to Fix Them
| Problem | Solution |
|---|---|
| “Details Not Found” | Double-check your registration number or email. Try all three login options. |
| Portal Not Loading | Use Chrome, clear cache, or switch to mobile data or Wi-Fi. Try late at night when traffic is lower. |
| Slip Not Printing | Allow pop-ups in your browser and download the PDF first before printing. |
| Forgot Registration Number | Use the email or phone number linked to your profile. |
| Wrong Details on Slip | Report any errors to JAMB support before the exam. Visit a JAMB accredited CBT centre immediately. |
| Lost Email or Phone Access | Visit the nearest JAMB accredited CBT centre for in-person assistance. |
JAMB’s Warning to All 2026 UTME Candidates
JAMB Registrar Professor Ishaq Oloyede has strongly warned candidates to work diligently, earn their scores honestly, and avoid any form of examination malpractice that could lead to prosecution. He disclosed that more than five candidates from the 2025 UTME have already been convicted for various examination infractions.
The Board has deployed advanced technology capable of detecting and apprehending offenders instantly and will not entertain any pleas for leniency.
Candidates found engaging in these activities risk cancellation of registration or withdrawal of results.
Things to Do Before Your UTME Exam Day
- Print immediately — do not wait until April 15 or 16. The portal experiences heavy traffic closer to the exam.
- Print two copies in colour and keep them in separate bags.
- Physically locate your CBT centre at least one day before your exam date.
- Arrive at your centre at least one hour early. Bring your slip plus a valid ID such as a NIN slip, National ID, Driver’s Licence, or Passport.
- Try printing late at night if the portal is slow — fewer users are online at that time.
- Do not pay any agent claiming to help you reprint — the service is free on the official portal.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is reprinting free?
Reprinting from the JAMB portal is free. You only pay a service charge if you use a cyber café.
Can I reprint multiple times?
Yes, you can reprint your slip as many times as you need. The information on it will remain the same each time you print.
Can I use my phone to print?
Yes, you can download your slip on your phone as a PDF and either print it later or transfer it to a computer to print.
What if I see “Details Not Found”?
This typically means reprinting has not yet started for your exam session, or JAMB has not uploaded your exam centre details yet. Check back later — the system updates gradually.
What if the portal is under stress?
The JAMB portal is currently under stress due to high candidate traffic. Keep monitoring and try again — especially during off-peak hours.
