The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has moved the start date for the 2025 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) registration from January 31 to February 3, 2025.
According to JAMB, the change was necessary due to two key issues – the suspension of law programmes in eight universities and the discovery of fraudulent activities at some Computer-Based Test (CBT) centres.
JAMB spokesperson, Fabian Benjamin, explained that the delay would allow time to update the registration system following the Council of Legal Education’s decision to stop law admissions in certain schools.
Additionally, the Board is reviewing its list of accredited CBT centres after finding out that some were approved through dishonest means.
JAMB admitted the shift might cause inconvenience but assured candidates that it was to ensure a smoother and more transparent registration process.
The suspension of law admissions affects universities such as Kwara State University, Bingham University, Redeemers University, and the Nigerian Police Academy, among others.
The Nigerian Police Academy, in particular, will not offer law admissions for two consecutive sessions, including 2026/2027.
Candidates are advised to stay updated through JAMB’s official platforms for further details on the registration process.
