JAMB shifts 2025 UTME registration to February 3

The registration for the 2025 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) will now commence on Monday, February 3, instead of Friday, January 31, as earlier slated.

The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) Public Communication Advisor, Dr Fabian Benjamin, disclosed this in a statement on Friday.

Benjamin said the change was necessary to allow JAMB to implement essential adjustments to its registration templates.

He stated: “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.”

The JAMB spokesman added that the additional time would be used to ensure that all necessary changes were made for a smooth registration process for the 2025 UTME.
