The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has announced that the registration deadline for the 2025 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) will not be extended beyond March 8, 2025. This decision was made due to the recent decline in the number of candidates registering for the examination.
As of now, over 1.5 million candidates have successfully registered for the 2025 UTME, which aligns with JAMB’s projections for the examination cycle. JAMB has urged all candidates to complete their registration as soon as possible, stressing the importance of adhering to the established timeline.
Key Registration Details:
- Registration Fee: Candidates registering for the UTME exam will pay N7,200.
- Mock Trial Fee: A mock trial for future candidates will cost N3,500.
- Direct Entry Fee: Direct Entry applicants will pay N5,700.
- UTME with Mock Trial Fee: Those opting for a UTME with a mock trial will pay N8,700.
- National Identification Number (NIN): All candidates must provide their NIN for registration.
JAMB has also exempted foreign, blind, deaf, and prison inmates from the pre-admission screening tests conducted by tertiary institutions in Nigeria.
