The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has announced a postponement of the 2025 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) registration. Originally scheduled to begin today, Friday, January 31, 2025, the registration process will now commence on Monday, February 3, 2025.
Reasons for the Postponement
According to JAMB, the rescheduling is necessary to implement essential adjustments to the registration process. These changes are due to:
- The recent suspension of certain law programs in selected universities, as submitted to JAMB by the Council for Legal Education.
- The discovery of deceptive practices by some Computer-Based Test (CBT) centres, which used unauthorized facilities to gain approval. These centres will undergo further scrutiny and be disapproved where necessary.
JAMB’s Apology and Commitment
In an official statement signed by JAMB’s Public Communication Advisor, Dr. Fabian Benjamin, the Board acknowledged the inconvenience this change may cause to prospective candidates and other stakeholders. However, JAMB assured that the additional time will allow for necessary adjustments, ensuring a smooth and more transparent registration process for all candidates.
Key Registration Dates
- New Registration Start Date: Monday, February 3, 2025
- Registration Deadline: Wednesday, March 5, 2025
- Direct Entry (DE) Registration: Monday, March 10 – April 7, 2025
- Mock-UTME Exam Date: Saturday, April 5, 2025
- Main UTME Exam Dates: Friday, April 25 – May 5, 2025
Conclusion
With JAMB 2025 UTME registration now set to begin on February 3rd, candidates are encouraged to stay updated and ensure they register only at accredited CBT centres. The Board remains committed to fairness and integrity in the examination and admission process, and these adjustments are aimed at enhancing transparency and efficiency.
