The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has announced that the registration for the 2025 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) will officially end on Saturday, March 8, 2025. This means that all prospective candidates who wish to sit for the exam must complete their registration before this deadline, as JAMB has stated that there will be no extension.
JAMB 2025 Registration Deadline and Key Dates
Candidates must take note of the following important dates regarding JAMB 2025 registration and examination:

How to Complete Your JAMB 2025 Registration Before the Deadline
To avoid last-minute issues, candidates should follow these steps to complete their JAMB registration before March 8, 2025:
- Create a JAMB Profile – Send your National Identification Number (NIN) via SMS to JAMB’s official number.

- Visit an Accredited CBT Centre – Complete the registration process, provide your personal details, and choose your exam center.
- Print Out Your Registration Slip – This document contains vital details, including your exam date, center, and subject combination.
What Happens If You Miss the JAMB 2025 Registration Deadline?
JAMB has strictly ruled out any possibility of extending the registration period. If a candidate fails to register before March 8, 2025, they will be unable to sit for the 2025 UTME. The only option available will be to wait until JAMB 2026 registration opens next year.
Conclusion
With JAMB 2025 registration ending on March 8, 2025, candidates are strongly advised to complete their registration as early as possible to avoid last-minute complications. The earlier you register, the better your chances of securing your preferred exam center and avoiding unnecessary delays. Do not wait until the last minute!
JAMB should have extended their sell of e-pin till 8th of March putting into consideration the setback students faced in purchase and registration in their various accredited registration centres.
Why closing e-pin on the 5th March, they could have closed everything together. This is so annoying now someone can’t register for jamb this year.
Same here
Please we need extension for the registration

Jamb is very stupid,they should better extend the date of registration,how can they close sale of epin on the 5th and final registration on 8th.many people can’t register cos they don’t have epin.they better do something about it.
