JAMB APPROVES FREE UTME REGISTRATION FOR SOME CATEGORIES OF CANDIDATES
_____
The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has approved the issuance of free application forms to Persons with Disabilities (PWDs) for the 2026/2027 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME).

The announcement was made by the JAMB Registrar, Prof. Is-haq Oloyede, who explained that the initiative covers various categories of disabilities, including Down syndrome, autism, dyslexia, and Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), among others. He added that to benefit from the scheme, candidates must have at least five O’Level credit passes obtained in not more than two sittings.

In addition, blind candidates will be provided with audiobooks to support their examination preparation. According to the Registrar, the audiobooks are digital versions of printed study materials and will be available in widely supported audio formats such as MP3, WMV, and WMA to ensure ease of access.

He emphasized that the programme highlights JAMB’s commitment to eliminating barriers and providing equal educational opportunities for candidates with disabilities.

If you do not fall into the approved categories, you must buy the UTME form normally .

UNDERGRADUATE STUDENTS CAN REGISTER FOR THE 2026 UTME/DE BUT MUST DISCLOSE

Despite repeated explanations by the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB), some members of the public still continue to insinuate wrongly that the Board bars matriculated students from registering for or taking the UTME/DE application documents. This claim is false.

For the avoidance of doubt, JAMB does not prohibit candidates who are already enrolled in tertiary institutions from registering for the UTME/DE. What the Board requires, as clearly stated in the 2026 UTME/DE advertisement, is mandatory disclosure of any existing matriculation status at the point of registration.

Disclosure is required strictly for record and regulatory purposes and to prevent multiple admissions. It simply means that once a candidate secures admission through the latest UTME/DE registration, any previous admission automatically ceases, as the law does not permit a candidate to hold two admissions concurrently.

Failure to disclose an existing matriculation status constitutes an offence. Although the Board's system can detect prior matriculation, any candidate found to have deliberately concealed such information risks forfeiting both opportunities.

The Board therefore cautions the public against misleading interpretations peddled by self-styled education advocates who thrive on distorting official policies for selfish gain. Candidates and parents are advised to rely only on official JAMB guidelines and publications.
