JAMB releases new update on 2026 mock exam

As candidates prepare for the official JAMB mock exam for 2026 which has been scheduled to hold March 28th, 2026 at all the approved CBT centres nationwide, JAMB has announced that the Mock UTME will now last four hours instead of the usual two hours, to give candidates more time to get familiar with the CBT environment.

The exam will hold in two consecutive sessions on the same day: 8:00 a.m. – 10:00 a.m. and 10:30 a.m. – 12:30 p.m. Candidates are required to participate in both sessions.

The Registrar, Is-haq Oloyede, also stated that participation is mandatory for all who registered, noting that skipping the mock wastes a limited slot that another candidate could have used.

All registered candidates are advised to make proper arrangements and attend. If you have not printed your mock slip, you are advised to do so as soon as possible. See procedure to print your now at this link: How To Print JAMB Mock Exam Venue And Time From JAMB Website
