JAMB Registration 2025 UTME And Direct Entry Procedures

JAMB registration for 2025 will close six (6) weeks after the commencement of the sale of JAMB form. The registration will Start on Monday, 3rd February 2025 and closes on Saturday, 8th March 2025 . For this reason, I have provided a step-by-step guide for candidates who may find it difficult to register below:

For any person to be registered for UTME/DE, he/she must supply his/her National Identity Number (NIN). It is therefore mandatory for participation in the 2025 registration exercise.

Candidates who will not be less than 16 years old by 30th September 2025 are eligible to apply/be considered. Any candidate who is less than 16 years old by 30th September 2025 must have been declared by JAMB as an exceptionally brilliant candidate before a waiver of admission can be given. For a candidate to be considered exceptionally brilliant, he/she must have scored not less than 80% in each of UTME/A’LEVEL, PUTME, SSCE, and in the exceptional candidate examination.
