The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has officially postponed the 2025 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) registration to Monday, February 3, 2025.
Initially scheduled to begin on Friday, January 31, the registration was delayed to allow for critical adjustments to the registration process, according to a statement by JAMB’s spokesperson, Fabian Benjamin, via X (formerly Twitter).
Reason for the Postponement
Benjamin explained that the adjustments were necessary following the suspension of certain law programmes at selected universities, as communicated to JAMB by the Council for Legal Education.
“These adjustments come in light of the recent suspension of certain law programmes at selected universities, as submitted to the Board by the Council for Legal Education,” he stated.
Apology and Assurance from JAMB
JAMB acknowledged the inconvenience the delay may cause for candidates and other stakeholders, assuring them that the additional time would be used to implement all necessary changes for a seamless registration process.
“The Board acknowledges the disruption this may cause to candidates and other stakeholders and sincerely apologises for any inconvenience. The additional time will be used to ensure that all necessary changes are made for a smooth registration process,” Benjamin added.
New Registration Start Date
Candidates looking to register for the 2025 UTME should now take note that registration will officially commence on February 3, 2025.
