HOW TO CHECK YOUR JAMB EXAM CENTRE, DATE, AND TIME (BY JAMB PORTAL)

• Navigate to the official examination slip checking segment on the JAMB portal at https://slipsprinting.jamb.gov.ng/PrintExaminationSlip
• Input your JAMB registration number, phone number (GSM), or email into the provided field.
• Click on the “Print” button to generate your exam slip, which contains comprehensive information about your exam centre, date, time, and subject combinations.
• If you see something like, ‘Examination Slip Printing not allowed’, it means the slips are either not yet made available for access or there’s a network issue.
• If you think any of the two shouldn’t be hindering you, then endeavour to visit the nearest JAMB CBT registration centre to complain.

 

ESSENTIAL ITEMS TO CHECK AND BRING TO THE JAMB 2024 EXAMINATION CENTRE

1. JAMB registration/examination slip

This document is your ticket to the exam hall and contains critical details about your registration and exam schedule.

2. Valid government-issued identification

Ensure you bring an acceptable form of ID, such as a National Identity Card or International Passport, to verify your identity.

3. Writing materials

The JAMB 2024 is a CBT exam. However, for those especially sitting for subjects requiring calculations, you may need to write. While writing materials are typically provided at the exam centre, it’s wise to carry your pens and pencils as a backup.

Please note: While you may bring items like your phones for communication with your friends and family before and after the exam, electronic devices are strictly prohibited during the exam.

Therefore, plan on how you’ll keep the device safe during the exam or keep it at home.
