FG MOVES TO HARMONISE 2027 EXAMINATION TIMETABLES AS RESULTS TARGET AUGUST

The Federal Government is working with examination bodies to harmonise the 2027 examination timetable, with the aim of ensuring the timely release of results and enabling eligible candidates to begin tertiary admission processes by September 2027.

According to the proposed schedule shared by JAMB, the examinations are expected to take place within the following periods:

JAMB UTME: March 15–25, 2027

NECO SSCE: April 1–May 14, 2027

WAEC WASSCE: May 11–June 18, 2027

NABTEB: June 1–July 5, 2027

NBAIS: June 10–July 9, 2027

What does this mean for candidates?

The harmonisation initiative is intended to reduce clashes between examination schedules and improve coordination among examination bodies. It also aims to ensure that results are released early enough for eligible candidates to proceed with university and other tertiary institution admissions.

Under the proposed timeline, JAMB UTME results are targeted for release by August 2027, while eligible candidates are expected to begin their admission processes by September 2027.

IMPORTANT: The examination dates are proposed timelines and should not be treated as confirmed final dates. Candidates are advised to follow official announcements from JAMB, WAEC, NECO and other relevant examination bodies for updates.

The Trust We Hold… is for the People We Serve.
