The examination body urged prospective candidates to ensure that their personal information with the NIMC was accurate, obtain a registered phone number and maintain an active email address before beginning the registration process.

The board explained that the checklist was designed to help candidates remain organised, prepare adequately and avoid common errors during registration and the admission process.
“As you prepare for the 2027 UTME, there are a few important things to get right before examination day,” the board stated in the accompanying caption.
It further stressed the need for candidates to have their biodata ready, confirm their subject combinations and familiarise themselves with the admission requirements for their preferred courses.
The six recommendations issued by JAMB are:
1\. Verify your NIMC biodata: Candidates should confirm that their personal details with the National Identity Management Commission are accurate before starting the 2027 UTME registration.
2\. Get a registered phone number: Prospective candidates should ensure they have a properly registered phone number for the exercise.
3\. Provide an active email address: Candidates are advised to have an accessible and functional email account.
4\. Decide on your preferred course: Candidates should identify the programme they intend to study before registration.
5\. Choose your preferred institution: Prospective candidates should determine the tertiary institution they wish to attend.
6\. Select the appropriate UTME subjects: JAMB advised candidates to ensure that their subject combinations correspond with the requirements of their chosen programmes.
The board also encouraged candidates seeking additional information to visit its official website at www\.ibas.jamb.gov.ng and follow its verified social media platforms for updates on the 2027 registration exercise.
“Get informed, get prepared, get ready for your 2027 UTME,” JAMB urged prospective candidates.
Meanwhile, the Federal Ministry of Information and National Orientation had published a proposed timetable for the 2027 examinations on October 14, 2026.
According to the proposed schedule, the 2027 UTME is expected to hold between March 15 and 25, 2027.
However, the ministry clarified that the dates were tentative and should not be regarded as the final examination schedule confirmed by JAMB.
