The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has mandated all tertiary institutions in Nigeria to complete their 2025 admission processes latest by December this year.
JAMB stated that the directive aligns with the resolutions of the 2025 Policy Meeting on Admissions, chaired by the Minister of Education. The move, it added, is aimed at stabilising Nigeria’s academic calendar while ensuring equal access to admission opportunities across all institutions.
JAMB warned that institutions must ensure full compliance with the timelines.
“Even where an institution is not ready to begin a new session, such an institution should conduct its admission and archive it,” the bulletin read.
JAMB also urged institutions that are still conducting post-UTME screening exercises to conclude them without delay to ensure they meet the stipulated deadlines.
“By this directive, all admission processes must be completed within the prescribed timelines,” the Board warned.
