The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board, JAMB says registration for the 2025 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination, UTME, will commence on Monday, February 3, 2025, instead of Friday, January 31, 2025.
A statement from the Board explains that the change is necessary to allow the Board to implement essential adjustments to its registration templates.
According to the statement, the adjustments are due to the recent suspension of certain law programmes at selected universities, as submitted to the Board by the Council for Legal Education.
It also says 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.
It states that the additional time will be used to ensure that all necessary changes are made for a smooth registration process.
