The 2025 JAMB UTME is getting closer, and for many candidates, the excitement and anxiety are beginning to build. After months of preparation, one of the most important things every candidate must do before the exam is to reprint their JAMB exam slip.
This slip contains critical details about your exam, including:
- Your examination date
- Your exam time (batch)
- Your assigned CBT center
- Important instructions from JAMB
Without this slip, you won’t be allowed into the exam hall—no matter how prepared you are. That’s why it’s crucial to know when and how to print your exam slip before it’s too late.
When Will JAMB 2025 Exam Slip Reprinting Start?
JAMB usually opens the portal for reprinting about a week before the exam starts. Since the 2025 UTME is set to begin on April 25, 2025, candidates should expect the reprinting process to begin around April 18 to April 20, 2025.
However, JAMB will officially announce the exact date, so candidates must stay updated by regularly checking the JAMB website (www.jamb.gov.ng) and their registered email.
Why Is the JAMB Exam Slip So Important?
Many candidates don’t realize the importance of this slip until the last minute. It is not just another piece of paper—it is your official pass to enter the exam hall.
Imagine spending months studying, getting ready for the big day, only to arrive at your CBT center and be turned away because you forgot to print your slip. That would be heartbreaking!
JAMB is very strict, and without your exam slip, you will not be allowed to write the exam—even if you beg or explain your situation.
How to Print Your JAMB 2025 Exam Slip
Once JAMB opens the portal for reprinting, follow these simple steps to get your slip printed:
Step 1: Visit the JAMB Reprint Portal
Go to the official JAMB portal: www.jamb.gov.ng
Step 2: Click on ‘Print Examination Slip’
You will see an option that says ‘UTME Examination Slip Reprint’—click on it.
Step 3: Enter Your Registration Number
Type in your JAMB registration number or the email/phone number you used for registration.
Step 4: Click on ‘Print’ or ‘Submit’
After entering your details, click on the Print or Submit button. Your exam slip will be displayed on the screen.
Step 5: Print and Make Multiple Copies
After downloading the slip, print at least two or three copies—one for yourself and extras just in case.
Where Can You Print Your JAMB Exam Slip?
You can print your slip at:
- A Cyber Café – Any business center or café with a printer can help you print it for a small fee.
- A CBT Center – Some JAMB-accredited CBT centers also offer reprinting services.
- Your Home (If You Have a Printer) – If you have a personal printer, you can print it yourself.
Make sure the printout is clear and all details are visible. Do not fold, stain, or damage the slip, as JAMB officials will inspect it at the exam center.
What to Do If You Can’t Reprint Your JAMB Exam Slip
If you experience any issues while trying to reprint your slip, don’t panic. Here’s what you should do:
- Check your internet connection – If the JAMB portal is slow, try again later.
- Try using another browser – Sometimes, the website may work better on a different browser.
- Visit a cyber café or CBT center – A professional might be able to help you.
- Contact JAMB Support – If you are unable to access your slip, visit the nearest JAMB office or send a complaint via the JAMB portal.
Final Advice – Don’t Wait Till the Last Minute!
Many candidates make the mistake of waiting until the night before the exam to print their slip. This is very risky.
What if:
- The JAMB website is down?
- Cyber cafés are closed?
- Your CBT center is too far from home?
To avoid unnecessary stress, print your exam slip as soon as JAMB releases it. This will give you enough time to confirm your exam venue and prepare for the journey.
