..says no extension of registration after March 8

The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has revealed that over 1.5 million candidates have so far successfully registered for the 2025 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME).

The Board, however, warned prospective candidates against waiting until the last day as there would be no extension of registration beyond March 8, 2025 when the exercise would have been concluded.

The registration period for the 2025 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination, commenced on February 3, and would be concluded on March 8, 2025.

Public Communication Advisor of JAMB Dr. Fabian Benjamin in a statement on Tuesday in Abuja, said the deadline has been clearly communicated in all advertisements and the official calendar for the 2025 UTME exercise.

Part of the statement read: “We wish to inform all prospective candidates that there will be no extension of the registration period.

“This notice is particularly important given the recent decline in the number of candidates registering for the examination. We urge all individuals who wish to participate to register promptly and avoid waiting until the last minute.

“Currently, over 1.5 million candidates have successfully registered, which aligns closely with the Board’s projections for the 2025 examination cycle.

“It is essential to note that the Board’s calendar is fixed, with numerous subsequent programmes scheduled after registration, including examinations, results management, and admissions exercise.

“These timelines are coordinated with other agencies whose operations rely on the completion of our processes. Therefore, extending the registration period would disrupt not only the Board’s plans but also those of our partners.

“In light of this, we strongly encourage candidates to complete their registration as soon as possible, adhering to the established timeline for the 2025 UTME,” he stated.
