Why is JAMB Slip Reprinting Important?
Reprinting your JAMB slip is mandatory for all candidates. The slip provides:
- UTME Exam Date – The exact day you will write your exam.
- Exam Time – The specific time slot assigned to you.
- Exam Venue – The accredited CBT center where you must appear.
- Personal Details – Your name, JAMB registration number, and subject combinations.
Without this slip, you won’t be granted access into the examination hall.
For example, in past years, many students assumed they could just check their JAMB portal for their exam center. Unfortunately, they missed their scheduled time because they didn’t reprint on time.

When Does JAMB Reprinting Start for 2025?
According to JAMB’s timetable, reprinting usually begins one week before the UTME examination date. For 2025, expect reprinting to start around April 10th – April 15th, 2025 (tentative).
Candidates are strongly advised not to wait until the last day to reprint their slip, as this may lead to:
- Website traffic congestion.

- Late arrival at CBT centers.
Pro Tip: Reprint at least 3–5 days before the exam date to avoid unnecessary panic.
