JAMB Moves First-Session Arrival Time to 7:00am for 2026 UTME

The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board now requires first‐session candidates to arrive by 7:00am instead of 6:30am. Exams will run from 8:30am to 10:30am. This adjustment responds to concerns over the stress and safety risks of very early travel. JAMB has also issued a full timetable with four sessions daily from April 16 to April 25. Do you think the later reporting time will ease pressure and boost performance? Share your thoughts below.
