The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board has revised the reporting time for candidates scheduled to sit the 2026 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME).
Under the new arrangement, candidates in the first session are now expected to get to their examination centres by 7:00am, instead of the earlier 6:30am.
Despite the adjustment, the board confirmed that the examination will still commence at 8:30am, stressing that all candidates must be seated and properly verified before the start time.
The examination body urged candidates to comply strictly with the updated schedule, warning that arriving late could prevent them from participating in the test.
Candidates were also advised to carefully check their notification slips for full details of their exam schedule, centre, and other important guidelines.
