Why Is the Wrong Year Showing on the Slip?
There are a few reasons why your examination slip might display a previous year:
- Wrong Profile or Old Account:
Many candidates mistakenly log in with their old JAMB profile (from 2025 or 2026) instead of creating or using a fresh 2027 profile. - System Cache Issue:
Sometimes your browser may load an old slip from a previous registration because it saved it in your cache or browsing history. - Wrong Details Used for Reprinting:
If you enter an old registration number, old email, or old phone number, the system will show your previous registration slip. - JAMB Portal Synchronization Delay:
Occasionally, the 2027 data may still be uploading fully to all servers, leading to confusion between old and new records.

What You Should Do to Fix It
If your slip is showing 2025 or 2026 instead of 2027:
- Confirm You Are Using Your 2027 Registration Details:
Use the new registration number or new phone number you used for your 2027 JAMB registration when trying to reprint. - Clear Your Browser Cache:
Clear your browsing history or try reprinting using a different browser or device.
Sometimes your browser brings up an old file that is stored locally. - Use the JAMB Reprint Portal Directly:
Visit the official JAMB slip reprinting link directly through the JAMB website and input only your 2027 information. - Visit a JAMB Accredited Centre:
If after trying all these steps your slip still shows the wrong year, visit the nearest accredited CBT centre or JAMB office.

- The correct year: 2027,
- Your updated details including the new exam date, time, and venue.
If you mistakenly carry a slip showing an old year like 2025 or 2026 to the examination centre,
you will not be allowed to sit for the 2027 UTME.
