The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has officially closed the registration for the 2025 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) on March 8, 2025, sticking to its original deadline despite several appeals from candidates seeking an extension.
No Extension for 2025 UTME Registration
Leading up to the deadline, many prospective candidates pleaded with JAMB to extend the registration period, citing issues such as technical difficulties, financial challenges, and delays in obtaining their National Identification Numbers (NIN). However, JAMB remained firm in its decision, stating that the deadline had been set to ensure the smooth execution of the examination and subsequent admission processes.
According to JAMB, any extension of registration would disrupt the examination calendar, affecting not just UTME but also the schedules of universities, polytechnics, and colleges of education that rely on JAMB’s processes for their admissions.
Over 2 Million Candidates Successfully Registered
Despite the calls for an extension, JAMB reported that a total of 2,030,627 candidates successfully completed their registration before the deadline. This number aligns with the Board’s projections for the 2025 exam cycle, showing that the registration process was largely successful and efficient.
In addition to this, 200,115 candidates registered for the optional mock UTME, scheduled for April 5, 2025. Among them, 630 candidates also signed up for the trial mock examination, which will take place on the same date.
New Security Measures and Crackdown on Fraudulent Activities
JAMB has reaffirmed its commitment to ensuring a fair and transparent UTME process by introducing new security measures aimed at curbing exam malpractice and fraud. These measures have already resulted in multiple arrests of candidates who attempted to use forged A-level results to gain admission.
The improved fraud detection system will continue to be in effect during the examination period, and JAMB has issued a strong warning to all candidates to avoid any form of dishonesty or malpractice, as strict penalties await offenders.
UTME Exam to Begin April 25, 2025
With the registration phase now over, JAMB has advised all registered candidates to focus on their preparations for the upcoming UTME, which will begin on April 25, 2025. Candidates are urged to:
- Print their exam slip early to confirm their exam date, time, and center.
- Follow all examination rules to avoid disqualification.
- Prepare adequately using JAMB-recommended materials and practice with CBT platforms.
Final Reminder to Candidates
JAMB has made it clear that there will be no further opportunities for unregistered candidates to participate in UTME 2025. Any student who failed to complete their registration before March 8 will have to wait until the next admission cycle in 2026.
With over 2 million candidates set to take the exam, JAMB has urged all students to focus on their studies, avoid distractions, and ensure they adhere strictly to the examination guidelines. The Board remains committed to ensuring that the 2025 UTME is free from malpractice and conducted in a fair and credible manner.

Subject: Urgent Plea fo
I sincerely apologize for missing the JAMB registration deadline due to unforeseen challenges beyond my control. This exam is my last hope to pursue my dreams, and missing it feels devastating. I humbly beg for a second chance if there is any possibility of an extension or late registration, I would be forever grateful. Please, I am willing to meet any requirements necessary. I sincerely hope for your kind consideration.
On behalf of all still unregistered candidates, pls, extend the E-pin sale and REG for just 48hours.Thanks.
most jamb purchased this year was initiated and help by prominent individuals due to economic hardship experience by nigerians.the country’s civil servant were paid lately /feb 5th/ yet jamb couldn’t hear the plea of their wards. Allah will judge you all for oppressing the poor
Does that mean because 2million candidates have registered so there is no more room for others.your mandate was giving each and every elligible nigeria a chance to participate.yet 1billion was budgeted for refreshment
Previous years they have been extension has jamb reach it max capacity. is that the mandate? 2million or all elligible nigerians?.FG is pounding us, jamb is also pounding us terrible leaders
terrible leaders inflicting pains,sufferings,hunger,poverty and frustrating nigerians GOD will judge you all
Pls help us to open the jamb registration this is my last chance God bless you all this is my last hope 🙏😭😭😭😭😭
