Abuja, Nigeria – December 22, 2024: The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has not yet announced any official details regarding the 2025 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) registration dates, fees, or examination schedule. Despite this, misleading information continues circulating across various blogs and social media platforms, causing unnecessary confusion among candidates.
This report will clarify the situation and share reliable advice for students preparing for the 2025 JAMB examination.
No Official Registration Dates or Fees Announced Yet
As of December 22, 2024, JAMB has not released any official dates for the start and end of 2025 UTME registration. Similarly, the official registration fees and examination schedule remain unconfirmed.
Many online sources are recycling details from 2024 UTME registration dates and fees and presenting them as valid for 2025. Candidates are advised to disregard such information until it is officially announced by JAMB through their official website or verified social media accounts.
How to Stay Updated:
- Visit the official JAMB website: www.jamb.gov.ng
- Follow JAMB on verified social media pages.
Current Age Requirement for JAMB 2025
One confirmed detail is the minimum age requirement for JAMB candidates. The Education Minister, Dr. Tunji Alausa, has clarified that the age requirement remains 16 years.
This means candidates who will turn 16 by August 31, 2025, are eligible to register for the exam.
Any changes to this policy will be officially communicated by JAMB through proper channels.
CBT Centre Accreditation is Ongoing
JAMB has commenced the accreditation process for Computer-Based Test (CBT) centres nationwide.
Why This Matters:
- Only JAMB-accredited centres are authorized to handle registration and conduct the UTME exam.
- Registering at unapproved centres may result in invalid registration or financial losses.
Candidates are strongly advised to verify CBT centre accreditation on the JAMB official website before proceeding with registration.
Beware of Misinformation and Scammers
As the registration season approaches, candidates should be wary of common scams, including:
- Fake JAMB registration portals
- Promises of “score upgrades”
- Claims of “leaked examination questions”
JAMB has repeatedly warned against engaging with unauthorized agents or websites.
