JAMB 2026 Day 2: Nationwide Live Updates and Candidate Discussion (Friday, April 17th)

Welcome to the Day 2 live thread! Today, Friday, April 17th, 2026, the second batch of candidates will take on the JAMB UTME. This post is designed for all Day 2 candidates to connect, share real-time updates from their centres, and offer support to one another.

Even if you aren't writing today, you can follow along to see how the exam is progressing nationwide and learn from the experiences of others.

• Arrival Time: For the first session, aim to be at your centre by 7:00 AM. For all other sessions, arrive at least 30 minutes before your scheduled start time.
