The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has released a six-point guide for candidates preparing for the 2027 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME), advising them to confirm the accuracy of their National Identity Management Commission (NIMC) records and have their registration information ready ahead of the exercise.
The examination body urged prospective candidates to verify their personal details with NIMC, secure a registered phone number and ensure they have an active email address before starting the UTME registration process.
In a video published on its official social media platforms on Monday, JAMB further advised candidates to determine their preferred courses and institutions and select the correct subject combinations.
According to the board, the guidelines are designed to help candidates organise themselves, prepare adequately and minimise errors during registration and the subsequent 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 added that candidates needed to get their biodata ready, confirm their subject combinations and understand their course requirements.
The six tips shared by JAMB are:
1. Verify your NIMC biodata: Ensure that your personal details with the National Identity Management Commission are correct before commencing the 2027 UTME registration.
2. Get a registered phone number: Ensure you have a registered phone number for the registration exercise.
3. Provide an active email address: Have an active email address that you can easily access.
4. Decide on your preferred course: Be certain about the programme you intend to study.
5. Choose your preferred institution: Decide on the institution you wish to attend.
6. Select the right UTME subjects: Ensure that your subject combination aligns with your chosen programme, as JAMB noted that selecting the right programme and UTME subjects was an important part of the admission process.
The board also directed candidates seeking further information to visit its official website at www.ibas.jamb.gov.ng and follow its verified platforms for updates on the 2027 registration exercise.
“Get informed, get prepared, get ready for your 2027 UTME,” JAMB urged prospective candidates.
