The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has announced that it will not extend the registration deadline for the 2025 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) beyond March 8.
According to Fabian Benjamin, JAMB’s spokesperson, the registration period, which began on February 3, will close on March 8 as previously announced.
Benjamin emphasized that the registration deadline has been clearly communicated in all advertisements and the official calendar for the 2025 UTME exercise. He urged prospective candidates to register promptly and avoid waiting until the last minute, especially given the recent decline in the number of candidates registering for the examination.
As of now, over 1.5 million candidates have successfully registered, which aligns with the board’s projections for the 2025 examination cycle. Benjamin noted that the Board’s calendar is fixed, with several other scheduled activities after registration, including the examination, results processing, and admissions exercise.
Therefore, extending the registration period would disrupt not only JAMB’s plans but also those of its partners. Candidates are advised to complete their registration as soon as possible and adhere to the set registration deadline for the 2025 UTME.
