Breaking news from the Joint Admission Matriculation Board (JAMB): the registration for the 2025 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) has been postponed. Originally slated for Friday, January 31, 2025, the new registration start date is now Monday, February 3, 2025.
In a statement released on JAMB’s official X page last Friday, the Board explained that the delay is necessary to implement critical updates to its registration templates. These adjustments come in response to two significant developments:
- Suspension of Law Programs: The Board has received information from the Council for Legal Education regarding the recent suspension of certain law programmes at selected universities.
- CBT Centre Scrutiny: JAMB also discovered that some Computer-Based Test (CBT) centres had employed deceptive practices to gain approval. This finding necessitated further review and the disapproval of those centres to maintain the integrity of the examination process.
