If you are one of the candidates interested in registering for the JAMB examination in 2025/2026, you might wonder how much the JAMB form costs and what other expenses are involved. This blog post will answer these questions and provide all the information you need about the JAMB registration process, requirements, fees, and deadlines.
JAMB Registration Fee for 2025/2026
According to the official announcement by the JAMB Registrar, Prof. Ishaq Oloyede, the JAMB registration fee for 2025/2026 is N3,500 (three thousand five hundred naira only) for both UTME and DE candidates. This is the same amount as the previous year. However, some banks and centers may charge extra fees for their services.
In addition to the registration fee, candidates must pay N500 (five hundred naira only) for the recommended novel for the UTME. JAMB has yet to announce the novel for 2025/2026. Candidates are also expected to pay N700 (seven hundred naira only) as a service charge to the accredited CBT center where they will register.
Therefore, the total amount a candidate will pay for the JAMB registration in 2025/2026 is N4,700 (four thousand seven hundred naira only). This amount covers the registration fee, the novel fee, and the service charge. However, it does not include other expenses such as transportation, internet access, document printing, and other materials.
JAMB Registration Process for 2025/2026
The JAMB registration process for 2025/2026 is not yet officially available. Therefore, the JAMB form 2025/2026 is not yet accessible online at www.jamb.gov.ng. In other words, neither the UTME form nor the portal is now available for purchase.
However, based on the previous year’s experience, we can expect that the JAMB registration process for 2025/2026 will follow these steps:
- Create a profile code by sending your name (Surname, First Name and Middle Name) as an SMS to 55019. You will receive a 10-digit profile code on your phone. This code will be used to purchase your e-PIN from any bank or online platform.
- Purchase your e-PIN from any of the participating banks or online platforms using your profile code. You will receive a confirmation SMS with your e-PIN and a reference number.
- Visit any accredited CBT centre with your personal details, e-PIN and reference number. You will be required to provide your biometric data (fingerprints and facial image), upload your passport photograph and O’level results (if available), choose your preferred institutions and courses, and print out your registration slip.
- Prepare for your examination by studying the syllabus and past questions provided by JAMB. You can also practice with the JAMB mock examination if you wish.
- Check your examination date and centre by printing out your examination slip from www.jamb.gov.ng or using the JAMB mobile app.
- Sit for your examination at your assigned date and centre. You must bring your examination slip, a valid ID card, and a novel copy.

JAMB Registration Deadline for 2025/2026
The JAMB registration deadline for 2025/2026 has not yet been officially announced. However, based on previous years’ experience, we can expect it to be around April or May 2025.
For instance, in 2022/2023, the JAMB registration started on April 8th and ended on May 15th. In 2019/2020, the JAMB registration started on January 13th and ended on February 17th.
