JAMB issues fresh directives to varsities over 2025 admissions

The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has directed universities and other tertiary institutions in Nigeria to conclude their 2025 admission processes before the end of the year.

In its latest bulletin, JAMB said public universities must wrap up admissions by October 31, 2025, while private universities have until November 30, 2025. Other tertiary institutions, both public and private, have until December 31, 2025.

The board explained that the directive followed decisions taken at the 2025 Policy Meeting chaired by the Minister of Education and is aimed at stabilising the academic calendar.

JAMB also warned institutions conducting post-UTME screenings to finish up in time to meet the admission deadlines.
