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

The board disclosed this in a notice issued on Friday by its spokesperson, Dr Fabian Benjamin, on X.

According to the statement, candidates who wish to change their institution or course of study can now begin the process at accredited Computer-Based Test centres nationwide.

“Candidates wishing to change their institution or programme of choice may now proceed to do so by visiting any of the Board’s approved CBT centres. Applicants are advised to visit any accredited CBT centre to effect the changes,” the statement read.

JAMB also announced that the printing of the original 2026 UTME result slips will begin on Monday, May 18, 2026.

The board advised candidates to visit accredited CBT centres for the printing of their result slips and other related services.

The development comes weeks after JAMB released the 2026 UTME results but delayed the printing of official result slips, allowing candidates to only check their scores through SMS.
