Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) says registration for the 2025 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) will now commence on Monday, February 3, 2025.
This development clarifies the shift from the date which had earlier been set on Friday, January 31, 2025.
In a statement on Friday, Dr. Fabian Benjamin, the Board’s Public Communication Advisor, explained that the change was necessary to enable the Board to implement essential adjustments to its registration templates.
“These adjustments came in light of the recent suspension of certain law programmes at selected universities, as submitted to the Board by the Council for Legal Education.
“Additionally, the Board discovered that some Computer-Based Test (CBT) centres had used deceptive facilities to be approved, prompting the need for further scrutiny and corrections by disapproving such centres.
“The Board acknowledges the disruption this may cause to candidates and other stakeholders and sincerely apologises for any inconvenience,” he said.
He explained that the extra time would be utilized to ensure that all required changes were implemented for a seamless registration process.
