The registration for the 2025 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination, UTME, has been shifted to Monday, 3rd of February, instead of Friday, January 31st 2025 as earlier slated.
Public Communication Advisor for the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board, JAMB, Febian Benjamin disclosed this in a statement made available to reporters in Abuja on Friday.
Benjamin revealed that the change was necessary, in order to allow the Board to implement essential adjustments to its registration templates.
“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 stressed that the additional time would be used to ensure that all necessary changes were made for a smooth registration process.
