The 2026 JAMB UTME examination continues today, April 17th, and this post is specially dedicated to all candidates scheduled to sit for the second day of the nationwide examination.
Candidates writing today are welcome to use this page to share live updates, experiences, observations, and helpful tips from their various examination centres across Nigeria. Other candidates who are yet to write can also follow the nationwide progress here to stay informed and better prepared for their own exam sessions.
JAMB 2026 Day 2 Live Updates – Share Your Centre Experience
This thread serves as a live update hub for JAMB candidates nationwide. From the moment you arrive at your CBT centre until just before biometric verification, feel free to keep other candidates informed about what is happening at your centre.
When dropping your updates, kindly include:
- Your State
- Name of the CBT Centre
- Any issues or delays noticed
- Time biometric verification started
- General exam hall conditions
This will help other candidates and even relevant authorities identify centres experiencing issues and understand the nature of those challenges.
Important Reminder for April 17 JAMB Candidates
Candidates are strongly advised to arrive at their examination centres at least 30 minutes before the time stated on their exam slip.
Before leaving for your centre, ensure you have the following:
- Printed copies of your JAMB exam slip
- A pencil (if needed)
- Any other approved materials
Also, be sure to check the list of prohibited items not allowed in the examination hall before heading out.
Real-Time Updates May Stop at Biometric Verification
Please note that candidates will most likely not be allowed to enter the hall with their phones. Therefore, your live updates may end once it is time for biometric verification and hall entry.
Once your exam is over, kindly return to this post or the next discussion thread to share:
- Your overall exam experience
- Questions you can remember
- Answer options you selected
- Any technical issues encountered
This will help candidates writing in later sessions.
After the Exam – Share Questions and Experiences
After completing your exam, please do not forget to come back and share your experience.
If possible, try to note down:
- Questions you can remember
- Topics that appeared frequently
- Difficult sections
- Time management tips
- Technical or centre-related issues
Your feedback can help other candidates prepare better for upcoming sessions.
Final Preparation for Candidates Yet to Write
For candidates who are yet to take their exam, this is the best time to do your final preparations using the OSILIGHT CBT Computer Software.
These tools can help you:
- Practice CBT questions
- Improve speed and accuracy
- Familiarize yourself with the exam interface
- Stay updated on Post-UTME and admission notifications
You can also join a JAMB 2026 WhatsApp support group where candidates discuss likely questions, exam experiences, and admission updates.
Keep Your Belongings Safe
Candidates are advised to be extra careful with their personal belongings such as:
- Phones
- Bags
- Money
- Documents
Please stay vigilant at all times, as crowded exam environments can sometimes attract individuals with dishonest intentions.
