Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has announced new date for the commencement of the 2025 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME).
Dr. Fabian Benjamin, Public Communication Advisor, JAMB, in a statement, on Saturday, explained that the examination which was hitherto fixed for Friday, April 25, 2025, has been moved backward, to start on Thursday, April 24, 2025.
Dr. Benjamin asked prospective candidates to print their Notification Slips, which contain vital information regarding their examination details.
He said: “Candidates are encouraged to print their Notification Slips starting today, Saturday, April 19, 2025. This will provide ample time for logistical arrangements to access their assigned centres within the chosen examination towns.
“The Notification Slip contains examination date, Venue (centre), time, other essential details necessary for successfully sitting for the examination. Candidates should visit www.jamb.gov.ng, click on 2025 UTME Slip Printing, enter your registration number and click on Print Examination Slip.”
He strongly advised that candidates print their slips and familiarize themselves with their examination centres at least one or two days before the examination date to help ensure a smooth experience on exam day.
He explained that candidates will be assigned to centres within their chosen examination towns; stressing that no candidate will be placed in a centre outside their selected town.
