JAMB Reschedules 2025 UTME Start Date to April 24

The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has officially announced a revision to the start date for the 2025 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME).
The Joint Admissions and Matriculation examination will now commence on Thursday, April 24, 2025, instead of the previously announced date of Friday, April 25, 2025.
This update was provided in a statement from JAMB’s Public Communication Advisor, Fabian Benjamin, which was shared via the Board’s official X account on Saturday.
The statement noted, “The 2025 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) is now scheduled to begin on Thursday, April 24, 2025, as a result of adjustments necessary to accommodate key commitments by the Board and its partner agencies.”
In preparation for the examination, JAMB also announced that prospective candidates can now print their Notification Slips.
These slips contain important information, including the examination date, venue, time, and other essential instructions for a smooth examination experience.
The statement emphasized, “Candidates are encouraged to print their Notification Slips starting today, Saturday, April 19, 2025, to allow sufficient time for logistical arrangements to access their assigned centres.”
To print the examination slip, candidates should follow these steps: Visit www.jamb.gov.ng, click on ‘2025 UTME Slip Printing,’ enter your registration number, and select ‘Print Examination Slip.’
JAMB strongly recommends that candidates visit their assigned centres ahead of time. “It is advised that candidates print their slips and familiarize themselves with their examination centres at least one or two days prior to the examination date.
This preparation will facilitate a smoother experience on exam day,” the Board stated.
Furthermore, JAMB reassured candidates that no one will be assigned to a centre outside their chosen examination town.
“To reiterate, the 2025 UTME will begin on Thursday, April 24, 2025. Candidates are advised to print their Examination Notification Slips at least a day before the exam to verify their dates and locations,”
