“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,” Dr. Benjamin stated.

According to Dr. Benjamin, over 1.5 million candidates have successfully registered for the 2025 UTME, a figure that aligns with JAMB’s projections. He further explained that the Board’s calendar includes subsequent programmes such as examinations, results management, and admissions, all of which are coordinated with other agencies. “Extending the registration period would disrupt not only our plans but also those of our partners,” he added.
