The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has announced the registration schedule for the 2025 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) and Direct Entry (DE) admissions into Nigerian tertiary institutions.
According to JAMB’s Head of Media, Fabian Benjamin, registration for UTME candidates will commence on January 20, 2024, and close on February 26, 2024. Meanwhile, Direct Entry registration will begin on January 28, 2025, and conclude on March 28, 2025.
Benjamin emphasized that over 1.5 million candidates are expected to register and warned that there will be no extension of the registration deadlines. He urged prospective candidates to obtain their forms early to avoid last-minute rushes and challenges that may arise during late registration.
The Board also stated that adhering to the deadlines will allow for smooth planning of the 2025/2026 admission process across institutions.
Candidates are advised to prepare in advance, secure their National Identification Numbers (NIN), and ensure they use unique phone numbers that have not been previously registered with JAMB to generate their profile codes.
