What You Must Have on Your JAMB 2026 Slip to Gain Exam Entry

Every year thousands of UTME candidates arrive at their CBT centres only to be denied entry over a simple printing fault. For the 2026 exam, JAMB has upgraded its security checks to include both human inspection and machine verification. Your slip is more than information—it’s your biometric pass. It must clearly show the official JAMB watermark, a legible barcode footer, full-colour printing and a sharp candidate photograph. Any faint watermark, poor colour contrast or blurred details could see you turned away at the gate. This guide explains the key elements your reprinted slip must include. Learn why colour printing is essential, how barcode scanning works and practical tips to avoid rejection. Follow these steps to protect your exam day and avoid losing an entire year.
