The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board, JAMB, has announced 26th February 2026 as the final deadline for 2026 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination, UTME, registration.

This was disclosed in a statement by JAMB’s spokesperson, Dr. Fabian Benjamin, on Wednesday.

According to him, the sale of e-PINs, which enables a candidate to proceed to the Centre for registration, will end at 12:00 midnight on Thursday, 26th February, 2026, while actual registration at accredited centers for those who already procure the e-PIN will cease on Saturday, 28th February, 2026.

He noted that over 1.5 million candidates have so far registered for the 2026 UTME as of Tuesday.

“This indicates that a significant number of prospective candidates are yet to take advantage of the opportunity to register.

“Candidates are therefore strongly advised to obtain their e-PINs before the vending deadline and proceed immediately to accredited centers to complete their registration. Waiting until the last few days may result in avoidable challenges, and the Board will not entertain any appeals for extension after the deadline,” the statement reads.

Both returning and fresh students of the university were expected to return to the institution for academic activities on Monday, October 7, 2024. However, in a circular issued by the university and signed by the Registrar, Chief Ambrose Ugwu on October 2nd, the new date is now Monday, October 14, 2024.

ESUT Monitor gathered that the postponement became ineluctable due to none release of list of admitted students for the new session

Speaking with our reporter in his office on Thursday, the university scribe noted that there was no way the first semester could have stated without the list of admitted students.

“The issue is that we want to release the list for admission for 2024/2025 academic session, and there’s no way you can resume while you have not released admission list,” the Registrar said.

He expressed optimism that the Joint Admission and Matriculation Board, JAMB would expedite action on the release of the list latest on Monday, October 7 adding that all continuing and new students will resume same day with three weeks deadline for their payment of school fees and registration

“We are hopeful that by next week, being Monday the 7th, the 2024/2025 candidates would see their names in JAMB Central Admission Processing System, CAPS and ESUT portal. All the continuing and fresh students will resume at the same time.

“We are giving them three weeks for registration and payment of the required fees. The portal will be closed on the 4th of November”.

The registrar further warned that once the portal is closed, there will be no room to reopen it and advised the students to make hair while the sun is shining. He also hinted that the management is planning to conduct the 44th Matriculation in December.

“The portal would close on the 4th of November. Once the portal closes, if you are still interested in continuing in the university, you have to write an application for voluntary withdrawal. So, we are urging the students to alert their fellow students.

“It is our hope that even before December, we would do matriculation, immediately after convocation,” Mr Ugwu concluded.
