While JAMB has yet to officially release details for the 2026 registration, patterns from previous years give us a solid idea of what to expect.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Expected Timeline for JAMB 2026 Registration<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Based on the 2025\/2026 session, registration for JAMB is <em>anticipated<\/em> to begin around <strong>January 2026<\/strong>, with the <strong>UTME examination likely scheduled for May 2026<\/strong>.
