The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has issued a fresh message to all applicants for the 2026 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME), informing them that the correction of subject combinations is now available. This announcement was made via a statement posted on JAMB's official X (formerly Twitter) page on the morning of Thursday, February 19, 2026.
Key Details for UTME Candidates
In the statement, JAMB directed candidates to visit any of its accredited facilities to effect the necessary changes to their subject combinations. The board emphasized the importance of this opportunity for ensuring accurate and suitable selections that align with their desired courses of study in tertiary institutions across Nigeria.
This development comes as part of JAMB's ongoing efforts to streamline the admission process and provide candidates with flexibility in their examination preparations. By allowing corrections, JAMB aims to reduce errors that could potentially affect candidates' chances of gaining admission into universities, polytechnics, and colleges of education.

Candidates are advised to act promptly, as the correction window may have a limited duration. Visiting accredited JAMB facilities ensures that changes are processed officially and securely, minimizing the risk of discrepancies in examination records.
This move is expected to benefit thousands of students who may have made initial mistakes or wish to adjust their subject choices based on updated academic goals or university requirements. It underscores JAMB's commitment to supporting educational aspirations and maintaining the integrity of the UTME system.
As more details emerge, candidates are encouraged to stay updated through JAMB's official channels for any further announcements or deadlines related to the subject correction process.
