The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has scheduled registration for the 2025 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) to commence on Monday, February 3, 2025, instead of Friday, January 31, 2025.
JAMB Spokesperson Fabian Benjamin announced the development in a statement on Friday.
Benjamin said the change was necessary to allow the Board to implement essential adjustments to its registration templates.
These adjustments, he noted 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 apologizes for any inconvenience.
“The additional time will be used to ensure that all necessary changes are made for a smooth registration process”, he said.
