JAMB 2025: Why Your Exam Slip Is Showing 2023 or 2024 Instead of 2025

As the 2025 JAMB reprinting exercise continues, some candidates have raised concerns about seeing the wrong examination year on their printed slips.

Candidates like Caleb and Elijah reported that after attempting to reprint their exam slips,
they noticed that their slip still shows 2023 or 2024 instead of 2025,
even though they registered for the 2025 UTME.

Here is what this means and what you should do if you are facing the same issue.

Why Is the Wrong Year Showing on the Slip?

There are a few reasons why your examination slip might display a previous year:

1. Wrong Profile or Old Account:
   Many candidates mistakenly log in with their old JAMB profile (from 2023 or 2024) instead of creating or using a fresh 2025 profile.
2. 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.
3. 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.
4. JAMB Portal Synchronization Delay:
   Occasionally, the 2025 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 2023 or 2024 instead of 2025:

• Confirm You Are Using Your 2025 Registration Details:
  Use the new registration number or new phone number you used for your 2025 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 2025 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.
  They can access your correct 2025 record and help you reprint properly.

Important Reminder

The reprinted slip must show:

• The correct year: 2025,
• Your updated details including the new exam date, time, and venue.

If you mistakenly carry a slip showing an old year like 2023 or 2024 to the examination centre,
you will not be allowed to sit for the 2025 UTME.

Final Advice

If your slip shows 2023 or 2024,
do not panic — but act immediately.

Use your 2025 registration details, clear your cache, and if the problem continues, visit a JAMB office or CBT centre to get it corrected.

The 2025 UTME will begin officially on Thursday, 24th April 2025, and candidates must have the correct slip to gain entry into the examination hall.

Stay calm, follow the right steps, and make sure everything is set before your exam day.
