Essential Guide to 2026 JAMB UTME/DE Accredited Registration Hubs

The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board has cleared 924 authorized Computer-Based Test (CBT) facilities across Nigeria to handle the 2026 enrollment cycle. To ensure your application is valid, you must visit an official center; using independent cybercafés for registration is strictly prohibited and will result in a voided application.

Mandatory Pre-Registration Steps

Before heading to a CBT center, streamline your process by completing the following:

• Create Your Profile Code: Send your 11-digit National Identification Number (NIN) via SMS to either 55019 or 66019 (Format: NIN 12345678901).
• Secure Your e-PIN: Purchase your unique registration pin through participating financial institutions or approved digital payment portals.
• NIMC Data Audit: Verify that your name and birth date are correct on your NIN. Since JAMB synchronizes directly with the NIMC database, any discrepancies must be resolved at a NIMC office first.
