The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has announced a change in the commencement date for the 2025 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) registration, shifting it from January 31 to Monday, February 3, 2025. This decision was made to implement crucial changes to its registration templates, following the recent suspension of certain law programs in selected universities. According to JAMB, the modifications are necessary to ensure the integrity of the examination process. The Board discovered that some Computer-Based Test (CBT) centers had secured approval through fraudulent means, prompting further scrutiny and disqualification of such centers. Fabian Benjamin, JAMB’s Public Communication Advisor, acknowledged the disruption this may cause to candidates and other stakeholders, saying, “The Board acknowledges the disruption this may cause to candidates and other stakeholders and sincerely apologizes for any inconvenience.” He assured that the additional time would be used to implement all necessary adjustments to facilitate a seamless registration process. The registration period will now run from February 3 to March 5, 2025, with the mock UTME scheduled for April 5, 2025, and the main UTME starting on April 25, 2025.
