The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) announces a change to the reporting (arrival) time for candidates taking the first session of the 2027 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME). Multiple outlets report that the board moves the arrival time from 6:30am to 7:30am.
Under the revised timetable, candidates for the first session are expected to arrive at their designated Computer-Based Test (CBT) centres by 7:30am. The change is described as applying specifically to the first session, with candidates adjusting their plans accordingly to meet the new reporting requirement.
While outlets consistently state the new arrival time and the shift from 6:30am to 7:30am, they focus primarily on the timing adjustment rather than providing broader schedule changes. The reports also frame the update as an official JAMB directive communicated on the day of publication, advising candidates to follow the updated instructions for their CBT centres.
