JAMB 2026 REGISTRATION FEE: WHAT STUDENTS NEED TO KNOW
Many students have been asking important questions such as:
“How much will the JAMB 2026 form cost?”
“Is it still ₦7,200?”
“Has the price increased?”
Here is a clear, honest, and fact-based explanation
Is the JAMB 2026 registration fee out?
No, As at now, JAMB has not officially released the registration fee for the 2026 UTME.
However, based on previous years and established patterns, I can give a realistic expectation to help students plan properly.
EXPECTED COST FOR JAMB 2026
While the exact figure is not yet confirmed, it is expected that:
The fee will likely be around ₦8,700
It will not exceed ₦8,700
It may be slightly lower than this amount
What is very unlikely is a reduction below previous years’ fees. In Nigeria, prices may increase or remain the same, but they rarely decrease.
Clarifying the ₦7,200 confusion
Many people are correct when they say last year’s JAMB form was ₦7,200. However, that amount applied only to candidates who registered without the mock examination.
Below is the official JAMB 2025 breakdown.
JAMB 2025 Registration Fees
UTME with Mock Examination: ₦8,700
UTME without Mock Examination: ₦7,200
Direct Entry (DE): ₦5,700
Breakdown of the 2025 charges
Application fee: ₦3,500
Reading text: ₦1,000
CBT centre registration service charge: ₦700
CBT UTME service charge: ₦1,500
Bank charges: ₦500
Mock UTME service charge: ₦1,500 (for candidates who chose the mock)
What students should do now
Rather than waiting until registration begins, students are advised to:
Budget between ₦8,000 and ₦9,000 to be safe
Ensure their NIN is ready and correct
Gather all required documents early
Focus more on academic preparation, not just registration
Once JAMB officially announces the 2026 registration fee, accurate updates will be posted here
