Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has announced that the registration for the 2025 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) will now commence on Monday, February 3, 2025, instead of Friday, January 31, 2025 as earlier slated.
The Board’s Public Communication Advisor, Fabian Benjamin, disclosed this in a statement posted on its official X handle on Friday.
Benjamin stated that the postponement was due to the suspension of law programmes in some Nigerian universities, and the approval of deceitful facilities as Computer-Based Test centres in certain locations, among other factors.
“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,” he said.
He said the additional time would be used to ensure that all necessary changes were made for a smooth registration process.
