The registration for the 2025 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) will now commence on Monday, February 3, 2025, instead of Friday, January 31, 2025.
The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) made this known in a statement released by its spokesperson, Fabian Benjamin, on Friday.
Benjamin stated that this change is necessary to allow the Board to implement essential adjustments to its registration templates.
These adjustments, according to him, 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.
Additionally, the Board said 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.
“The Board acknowledges the disruption this may cause to candidates and other stakeholders and sincerely apologizes for any inconvenience,” the statement said.
It added that the additional time will be used to ensure that all necessary changes are made to ensure a smooth registration process.
