The registration for the 2025 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) will now commence on Monday, February 3, 2025, instead of Friday, January 31, 2025.
Recall that THE WHISTLERreported that the registration exercise will start on January 31, 2025.
JAMB, in a statement signed by its spokesperson, Dr. Fabian Benjamin, explained that the change is necessary to allow the board to implement essential adjustments to its registration templates.
“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.
The board also stated that it 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.
It apologised to the candidates and other stakeholders for the change in registration date adding that it was necessary to ensure a smooth exercise.
“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,” the statement said.
