The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has brought forward the commencement date for the 2025 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) by one day.
The examination, originally fixed for Friday, April 25, will now begin on Thursday, April 24, 2025.
Notification slip now available for candidates This revision was confirmed through a statement issued by Fabian Benjamin, JAMB’s Public Communication Advisor, via the Board’s official X (formerly Twitter) handle on Saturday.
According to the announcement, the adjustment was made to accommodate key obligations involving both JAMB and its partnering agencies. In line with the new schedule, candidates are now able to print their UTME Notification Slips.
These slips contain vital information such as the date and time of the exam, the location of the examination centre, and other necessary guidelines.
Printing began on Saturday, April 19, 2025, giving candidates sufficient time to prepare and make arrangements for accessing their assigned venues.
“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 statement read.
To obtain their slips, candidates must visit the official JAMB website at www.jamb.gov.ng, click on the '2025 UTME Slip Printing' link, input their registration number, and proceed to print the document. JAMB further advised that candidates take the time to visit and familiarise themselves with their designated centres before the exam date.
“It is strongly advised that candidates print their slips and familiarise themselves with their examination centres at least one or two days before the examination date. This preparation will help ensure a smooth experience on exam day,” the Board advised.
