The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has rescheduled the commencement date for the 2025 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) to Thursday, April 24, 2025, a day earlier than initially planned.
This was announced in a statement signed by Dr. Fabian Benjamin, Public Communication Advisor to JAMB, on Saturday.
The change, according to the Board, was necessitated by “essential commitments by the Board and its partner agencies.”
“The 2025 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) is now set to commence on Thursday, April 24, 2025, instead of the previously scheduled date of Friday, April 25, 2025. This adjustment has been made to accommodate essential commitments by the Board and its partner agencies,” the statement read.
As part of preparations, the Board opened its portal for candidates to print their Examination Notification Slips
“All candidates who have registered for the 2025 UTME scheduled to commence on Thursday, 24th April, 2025, are urged to print their 2025 UTME Notification Slips before the date of their examination,” the statement added.
The notification slips contain vital information, including examination date, venue (centre), and time
To print the slip, students are advised to visit www.jamb.gov.ng, click on “2025 UTME Slip Printing”, enter their registration number, and click on “Print Examination Slip”.
The board advised all candidates to print their slips and “familiarise themselves with the location of their centres before the date of the examination.”
This is to help ease any last-minute confusion or delays on the exam day.
JAMB strictly warns against attempting to sit for the examination outside the candidate’s officially assigned centre or town.
According to the Board, each candidate will be assigned to a centre strictly within the examination town they selected during registration.
Any attempt to sit for the UTME outside this assigned town will not be permitted under any circumstances.
“Please note that candidates will be assigned to centres within their chosen examination towns; no candidate will be placed in a centre outside their selected town,” they stated.
