The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has announced that registration for the 2025 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) will now start on Monday, February 3.
JAMB’s Public Communication Advisor, Fabian Benjamin, announced the postponement on its official X handle on Friday.
The registration was initially scheduled to commence on Friday, January 31.
Benjamin, however, explained that the shift was to “allow the board to implement essential adjustments to its registration templates.”
He said, “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.
“Additionally, the Board discovered that some Computer-Based Test (CBT) centres had used deceptive facilities to gain approval, 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 additional time will be used to ensure that all necessary changes are made for a smooth registration process.”
