The Joint Admission and Matriculation Board(JAMB) has announced important updates for 2025 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination, UTME candidates
The board disclosed that the registration period for the 2025 UTME, will not be extended after the conclusion of the exercise on March 8, 2025.
This was contained in a statement signed by JAMB’s spokesperson, Dr. Fabian Benjamin, on Tuesday.
JAMB revealed that over 1.5 million candidates have successfully registered, urging prospective candidates to complete their registration as soon as possible, before the stipulated deadline.
“The registration period for the 2025 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME), which began on February 3, will conclude on March 8, 2025.
“We wish to inform all prospective candidates that there will be no extension of the registration period.
“This notice is particularly important given the recent decline in the number of candidates registering for the examination. We urge all individuals who wish to participate to register promptly and avoid waiting until the last minute.
“Currently, over 1.5 million candidates have successfully registered, which aligns closely with the Board’s projections for the 2025 examination cycle.
“It is essential to note that the Board’s calendar is fixed, with numerous subsequent programmes scheduled after registration, including examinations, results management, and admissions exercise.
“These timelines are coordinated with other agencies whose operations rely on the completion of our processes. Therefore, extending the registration period would disrupt not only the Board’s plans but also those of our partners.
“In light of this, we strongly encourage candidates to complete their registration as soon as possible, adhering to the established timeline for the 2025 UTME.”
