Through Your JAMB Profile

  1. Access the official JAMB portal: To get to the JAMB e-facility portal, go to https://efacility.jamb.gov.ng/ in a safe web browser on your computer or smartphone. To avoid phishing scams, never click on unofficial links on social media or in emails.

  3. Navigate to the Print Examination Slip Service: After successfully logging into your personal dashboard, locate the menu or list of services. Click on the "Print Examination Slip" or "2026 UTME Examination Slip."

  4. Review Your Examination Details: Your slip will appear on the screen. Examine all the information displayed, including your name, subject combination, exam date, time, and centre address.

  5. To print or save the slip, use your browser's print command (Ctrl+P) or the page's print button. If you have a printer connected, make at least two clear copies on A4 paper.

    If immediate printing access is unavailable, please save the slip as a PDF to your device and email a copy to yourself for safekeeping. You can then print it out at a cyber cafe.

  1. Check your exam date, time, and location very carefully.

  2. If you don't know where the centre is, you can go there before the day of the test. This will help you understand the route better and keep you from being surprised at the last minute.

  3. Try to get there well before your scheduled time on the day of the test. 

  4. Don't forget to bring your printed slip and a valid form of ID, like your national ID or JAMB registration printout. You will need these to get into the exam room.
