The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board, JAMB, has said that the registration for the 2025 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination, UTME, will end on March 8, 2025.
In a statement by the Board’s spokesman, Fabian Benjamin, on Tuesday in Abuja, the examination board ruled out an extension of the registration period, saying the deadline has been communicated in all advertisements and the official calendar for the 2025 UTME exercise.
The announcement was a follow up to an earlier statement by JAMB that over 1.5 million candidates have successfully registered.
The release by JAMB’s spokesperson noted that the notice is particularly important given the recent decline in the number of candidates registering for the examination.
It urged 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,” the statement said.
JAMB had on February 5, commenced the registration of candidates for the 2025 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination, UTME.
