…opens 2026 change of institution, course process for UTME candidates

The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has announced the start of the 2026 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination process for change of institution and course for candidates.

The board made this known in a notice released on Friday by Fabian Benjamin, its spokesperson on his X handle.

“UTME CHANGE OF INSTITUTION PROCESS ACTIVATED
Candidates wishing to change their institution or programme of choice may now proceed to do so visiting any of the Board’s approved CBT.
Applicants are advised to visit any accredited CBT centre to effect the changes,”

JAMB also said the printing of the original 2026 UTME result slip will begin on Monday, May 18, 2026

“Furthermore, the printing of the original 2026 UTME result slip will commence on Monday, 18th May, 2026,” the statement read.

It advised candidates to visit accredited CBT centres to print their result slips and access other related services.

The development comes weeks after the board announced the release of the 2026 UTME results, while the printing of official result slips was delayed, with candidates initially only able to check their scores via SMS.
