The National Business and Technical Examinations Board has extended the registration deadline for the 2026 National Common Entrance Examination into technical colleges nationwide to May 31.
The board also announced the postponement of the examination date from June 6 to June 13, 2026.
The development was disclosed in a statement issued on Sunday in Benin City by NABTEB’s Assistant Director of Media and Protocol, Mr Uchechukwu Olisah.
According to the statement, the approval for the extension was granted by the Registrar and Chief Executive Officer of NABTEB, Aminu Mohammed.
Olisah explained that the approval was conveyed through an internal memorandum signed by the Director of Examinations Administration, Ms Chigoziem Metu.
“With this extension, the registration for the National Common Entrance Examination will close on Sunday, May 31, while the examination earlier scheduled for Saturday, June 6, will now hold on Saturday, June 13,” the statement noted.
The board stated that the decision followed appeals from prospective candidates requesting more time to complete their registration processes.
NABTEB urged interested candidates to utilise the extension period to finalise all registration formalities before the new deadline.
The registrar also encouraged entrepreneurially minded students and candidates seeking admission into technical colleges across the country to take advantage of the opportunity by participating in NABTEB examinations.
The National Common Entrance Examination is conducted annually for admission into technical colleges across Nigeria.
