The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has strongly warned applicants over biodata integrity, biometric capture, and identity verification, ahead of the 2026 UTME and Direct Entry registration exercise.
In a Tuesday statement signed by the Registrar, Prof. Ishaq Oloyede, the Board warned candidates against post-registration biodata changes.
The registration for UTME and Direct Entry form for both Nigerians and foreign prospective applicants will commence on Monday, January 26, 2026 and end Saturday, February 28, 2026.
The Board declared, “Once a candidate completes 2026 registration with biodata supplied by NIMC, subsequent changes of biodata would not be effected by JAMB for the 2026 admission. No Change Will Be Tolerated.”
JAMB explained that updates from the National Identity Management Commission (NIMC) would only apply under strict conditions.
