BREAKING: JAMB postpones 2025 UTME registration
The Joint Admissions and Matriculations Board (JAMB) has postponed the commencement date for the 2025 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) registration from January 31 to February 3, 2025.
JAMB also threatened to sanction Computer-Based Test centres that employ fraudulent tactics to gain approval for the examination.
This was confirmed by the examination body in a statement issued on Friday, signed by Dr. Fabian Benjamin, their Public Communication Advisor.
He note that the Board needed to make crucial changes to its registration forms, so the shift was required.
“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 said.
“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 apologizes for any inconvenience.
“The additional time will be used to ensure that all necessary changes are made for a smooth registration process.”
This platform reports that the Mock UTME is scheduled for April 5, 2025, while the main exam will take place from April 25 to May 5, 2025.
