The extension allows more candidates to complete their applications without disruption. JAMB approved five additional registration centres located in Kwara, Ogun, Oyo, and Lagos states.

Key facts:

• Five new centres include the Centre for Open and Distance Learning at the University of Ilorin and Bells University of Technology.
• Over 2.2 million candidates registered for the 2026 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination.
• Nearly 1.9 million results were released within the first three days of the examination.
• JAMB allocated over N1.3 billion in the 2026 budget for CBT and ICT-related projects.
