The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) does not intend to extend the 2025 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) registration deadline beyond March 8.
Fabian Benjamin, JAMB’s spokesperson disclosed this on Tuesday in a statement issued in Abuja.
According to Benjamin, the registration period, which commenced February 3, will close March 8, 2025, as previously announced.
“This registration deadline has been clearly communicated in all advertisements and the official calendar for the 2025 UTME exercise,” he said.
“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,” he added.
Benjamin disclosed that over 1.5 million candidates have already registered, which aligns with the board’s projections for the 2025 examination cycle.
“It is essential to note that the Board’s calendar is fixed, with several other scheduled activities after registration, including the examination, results processing, and admissions exercise,” he said.
“These timelines are coordinated with other agencies whose operations depend on the completion of our processes. Therefore, extending the registration period would disrupt not only JAMB’s plans but also those of our partners.”
He urged candidates to complete their registration as soon as possible and adhere to the set registration deadline for the 2025 UTME.
