If you registered for the 2026 JAMB exam, then one of the most important things you must do before your CBT exams is to reprint your JAMB exam slip. With this slip, you can get information about your exam date, time, and center.
There are so many unverified information about this JAMB Reprinting Date. Well, don’t worry, this article has been made to give you verified information about the JAMB reprinting. You’ll see information about when reprinting will start, how to do it, and even why it’s necessary.
What is JAMB Reprinting?
JAMB reprinting means printing your examination slip that shows your exam date, time, and venue for the upcoming JAMB UTME. You remember that when you first register for JAMB, you get a registration slip that only shows your personal information and subjects. But, that slip does not tell you when or where you’ll write your exam.
This slip is important because without this printed slip, no security or invigilator will allow you into the exam hall. In addition to that, once you know your center, you can calculate your transport fare, and even visit the place before the exam day. Yes, all of this helps give you readiness for the exams.
When is the JAMB Reprinting Date for 2026/2027?
As of now, JAMB has not released the official reprinting date for the 2026/2027 UTME. However, from what has been happening in previous years, we can guess the reprinting date.
Last year, JAMB opened the reprinting portal to start about one week (7 days) before the main exam began. So, if the 2026 UTME is expected to start on April 20, 2025, then reprinting will likely begin around April 12, 2025.
Who Should Reprint the JAMB Slip?
The JAMB reprint slip is for everyone who registered for JAMB. If you’re registered, you need to reprint your slip. It doesn’t matter if you were the first to register for JAMB so ensure that when the portal for reprinting opens, you reprint your slip.
Also, if you’ve reprinted before, you could reprint again if you lost your previous slip, or you’ve suddenly changed your number or just to have a second copy. Yes, JAMB allows you to reprint as many times as you want.

What to Do After Reprinting Your Slip
After you’ve reprinted your examination slip, these are the next steps you should take:
1. Study the details carefully
This involves taking note of your examination date and time. You could even make the date on your calendar or set an alarm on your phone. Then, ensure that you visit the examination center at least once before the main examination.
2. Prepare yourself
This step includes printing your reprint slip in at least two copies. Then, take documents such as your NIN slip and other writing materials with you. It is also not out of place to take along with you your original registration slip for evidence purposes. All in all, these documents should be available 3-5 days before the exam date.
3. Sleep well before the exam
Most students use the night before exams to cram everything they haven’t read before. However, this is a bad reading habit. Instead of cramming, take time to revise what you’ve read in the past. Afterwards, sleep well to recharge your brain. This will help you to be organized and focused when you wake up.
4. Arrive early on exam day
Your target should be to arrive at the exam day as early as possible. According to JAMB, students should arrive at the center at least 30-45 minutes before the exam starts. This will allow you to prepare and feel relaxed when writing the examination.
