‎JAMB GIVES TERTIARY INSTITUTIONS END-OF-YEAR DEADLINE FOR 2025 ADMISSIONS

‎The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board, JAMB, has issued a
directive to all tertiary institutions in Nigeria to complete their 2025
admission processes before the end of the year.
‎
‎According to a bulletin released by the Board on Monday, public
universities are expected to finish their admissions by October 31, 2025,
while private universities have until November 30, 2025.
‎
‎All other tertiary institutions including polytechnics, colleges of education,
and innovation enterprise institutions have been given a final deadline of
December 31, 2025.
‎
‎JAMB explained that the directive follows resolutions reached at the 2025
Policy Meeting on Admissions, chaired by the Minister of Education.
‎
‎The Board said the move is designed to stabilise Nigeria’s academic
calendar and ensure equal access to admission opportunities across all
institutions.
‎
‎Institutions were cautioned to comply fully with the timelines, even if their
academic sessions were yet to begin.
‎
‎JAMB also urged institutions that are still conducting post-UTME screening
exercises to conclude them without delay to ensure they meet the
stipulated deadlines.
