On our last post, someone asked us the question “How can I check my JAMB center online?”, while we already answered her in the comment section, it’ll be nice to explain it better here.
If you’ve successfully registered for the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME), the next big step for you is to know your JAMB exam center, exam date and time.
You can check them online and I will show you how to do that using the JAMB portal.
When does JAMB release exam centers and dates?
JAMB usually releases the exam center, date, and time 1 to 2 weeks before the exam starts.
Once your exam slip is ready, you’ll print it out and take it with you to the exam hall.

💡 Important: Don’t expect JAMB to send you an SMS or email with your exam center, date or time, they don’t do that – so, you must check it yourself online.
