Welcome, readers!
Whether you’re a Nigerian student gearing up for the 2025 UTME or a parent/guardian guiding your child through the process, this post is your all-in-one resource for how to CHECK and PRINT your JAMB exam slip with ZERO STRESS.
The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) is Nigeria’s official body responsible for conducting entrance exams into tertiary institutions—and trust me, knowing when and where to write your exam is just as important as studying for it.
Let’s get into it.
What Is the JAMB Exam Slip?
Before we dive into the how-to, let’s quickly clarify what the exam slip is.
The JAMB exam slip is an official document that contains crucial information about your UTME exam. It includes:
Your full name and registration number
Your exact exam date
Your exam time
Your exam center (name and full address)
Your subject combination
A passport photo (for identity confirmation)
Without this slip, you won’t be allowed into the exam hall. It’s that serious.
When Is the JAMB Exam Slip Released?
The exam slip is usually available a week before the main UTME begins. For the 2025 session, expect it around late April 19-21
Now, here’s how to check it.
Step-by-Step: How to Check and Print Your 2025 JAMB Exam Slip
There are two official methods to access your slip: online via the JAMB portal or through email (sometimes).
Method 1: Through the JAMB Exam Slip Portal
1. Go to the JAMB Exam Slip Printing Portal
Visit: https://slips.jamb.gov.ng/PrintExaminationSlip
2. Enter your JAMB Registration Number or Email Address
Use the same email you registered with, or your 2025 JAMB Reg. Number.
3. Click “Print Examination Slip”
4. Your exam slip will appear on the screen
It shows your exam date, time, and venue. Look closely!
5. Print it out (Color print preferred!)
Head to a cybercafé or use your home printer. JAMB prefers a color print, but if that’s not available, black & white is still acceptable make sure your examination number is clearly readable to avoid login issues .
Method 2: Check Your Email
Sometimes, JAMB sends exam slips directly to candidates’ email addresses (used during registration). So:
Log in to your email
Search for “JAMB Examination Slip 2025”
If it’s there, open it and download the PDF
Print it out the same way
Tip: Check your Spam or Promotions folder if you can’t find it in your main inbox.
What to Do After Printing Your JAMB Slip
Once you have your exam slip:
1. Read every detail carefully – especially your exam time and venue.
2. Know the location ahead of time – Google the address, or visit a day before if possible.
3. Plan your movement – Avoid arriving late. JAMB does not tolerate latecomers.
4. Keep the slip safe – You’ll need it on exam day
Common Issues and How to Fix Them
Can’t find your slip?
Double-check your Reg. Number or try again later; JAMB servers can be busy.

Contact JAMB support or visit a nearby JAMB office ASAP.
Didn’t receive email?
Use the slip printing portal. Email is not always guaranteed.
Checking your JAMB exam slip is more than a formality—it’s a vital step in your success journey. Don’t wait till the last minute, and don’t depend on hearsay about your exam time or venue. Always confirm it yourself.
