Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board, JAMB, has said the registration for the 2025 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination,UTME, will now commence on Monday, February 3, 2025, instead of Friday, January 31, 2025.
JAMB said the change is necessary to allow the Board to implement essential adjustments to its registration templates.
These adjustments, according to JAMB, 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.
Speaking through its Public Communication Advisor, Dr. Fabian Benjamin, JAMB said 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 additional time will be used to ensure that all necessary changes are made for a smooth registration process,” the examination body stated.
