Breaking: JAMB announces new kick-off date for 2025 UTME registration
The Joint Admission Matriculation Board (JAMB), has postponed the registration for the 2025 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) to Monday, February 3, 2025, from the earlier date of Friday, January 31, 2025.
JAMB explained that the change was necessary to allow the Board to implement essential adjustments to its registration templates.
In a statement by its spokesman, Fabian Benjamin, JAMB stated that the adjustments were due to the recent suspension of certain law programs at selected universities, as submitted to the Board by the Council for Legal Education.
According to Benjamin: “The registration for the 2025 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) will now commence on Monday, February 3, 2025, instead of Friday, January 31, 2025.
“This change is necessary to allow the Board to implement essential adjustments to its registration templates. These adjustments come in light of the recent suspension of certain law programs at selected universities, as submitted to the Board by the Council for Legal Education.

“Additionally, the Board discovered that some Computer-Based Test (CBT) centers had used deceptive facilities to gain approval, prompting the need for further scrutiny and corrections by disapproving such centers.
“The Board acknowledges the disruption this may cause to candidates and other stakeholders and sincerely apologizes for any inconvenience. The additional time will be used to ensure that all necessary changes are made for a smooth registration process.”
