The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has dismissed a circulating fake press release claiming that the 2026 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) has been postponed.
In a statement on Saturday, April 4, 2026, JAMB described the document as “malicious” and urged candidates to ignore it completely.
“The general public, particularly the candidates, are by this notice informed that the press release is fake and did not emanate from us. All activities on the 2026 UTME continue as scheduled,” the board said.
JAMB confirmed that the main 2026 UTME will hold as planned from Thursday, April 16, to Saturday, April 25, 2026.
This clarification follows the recent mock examination which had technical issues in some centres.
The board has warned candidates against fraudsters promising to upgrade scores, stating that such claims are false and any involvement will lead to serious penalties.
