The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has said so far, over 1.5 million candidates have successfully registered for the 2025 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME).
According to a statement made available to journalists Tuesday by the Board’s Public Communication Advisor, Dr. Fabian Benjamin, noted that the registration period for the 2025 UTME which began on February 3, would end on March 8, 2025. 

It stated that the deadline had been clearly communicated in all advertisements and the official calendar for the 2025 UTME exercise. 
“We wish to inform all prospective candidates that there will be no extension of the registration period”.

It said the 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.

“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”, it added.
In light of this, the Board has advised candidates to complete their registration as soon as possible, adhering to the established timeline for the 2025 UTME.
