The Purpose of the free JAMB UTME Registration Template
The 2026 JAMB registration template is a pre-registration guide designed to help you organize your details before visiting an accredited CBT centre. Filling this out in advance helps you avoid common mistakes, such as choosing the wrong subject combination or misspelling your name, which can be costly to correct later.
Important Guidelines for Candidates
- Do Not Pay: This template is a free resource. While a cybercafé may charge you a small fee to print it, the document itself should never be sold to you.
- Do Not Submit: This is for your personal use and consultation with parents or teachers. Do not leave the completed template at the registration centre; it is simply a guide for the official online form.
- Consult Experts: If you are unsure about your choice of institution or course, use this template to discuss your options with mentors, teachers, or guardians before the official window closes.

Key Information to Have Ready
When filling out your template, ensure the following data matches your NIMC (NIN) records exactly:
- Biodata: Full name, Date of Birth, and Gender.
- Course & Institution: Your 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 4th choices.
- UTME Subjects: Ensure you choose the correct 4 subjects required for your specific course (English is compulsory).
- O’Level Results: Details of your SSCE (WAEC/NECO/NABTEB) subjects and grades.
Pro-Tip: You don’t need to print the template in colour. A black-and-white printout is perfectly fine and will save you money.
