The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has postponed the 2025 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) registration to Monday, February 3, 2025. The registration, which was initially set to begin on Friday, January 31, was delayed to allow for essential adjustments to the registration process.

JAMB’s spokesperson, Fabian Benjamin, announced the decision in a post on X (formerly Twitter), stating that the postponement was necessary following the recent suspension of certain law programmes at selected universities, as communicated to the Board by the Council for Legal Education.

“These adjustments 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,” Benjamin explained.

JAMB acknowledged the inconvenience the delay might cause candidates and other stakeholders, apologizing for any disruption.

“The additional time will be used to ensure that all necessary changes are made for a smooth registration process,” he added.

Candidates preparing for the 2025 UTME are advised to stay updated with official JAMB announcements to ensure a seamless registration process once it commences.
