The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) said it has closed the Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) registration portal and will commence sale for the 2025 Direct Entry (DE) application documents, from Wednesday, March 12, 2025.
This registration process is crucial for individuals who possess degrees, diplomas, or A-level certificates and wish to advance their education at their preferred universities.
JAMB’s Public Communication Advisor, Dr Fabian Benjamin in a statement on Monday said initiation of the DE sales follows the successful conclusion of the Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) application sales, which ended on Saturday, March 8, 2025.
During this period, JAMB recorded a total of 2,030,627 registrations for the 2025 UTME, along with 200,115 for the Mock-UTME and 630 applications for the trial mock.
JAMB has emphasized the importance of adhering to all entry requirements, but warned that serious sanctions would be imposed on applications containing false declarations.
“A special committee will verify all submitted Advanced A Level Qualifications, and any fraudulent results will lead to prosecution.
“Additionally, institutions are encouraged to directly verify certificates before considering admissions.
“Registration can only be done at JAMB Professional Registration Centres(PRC),” Benjamin said.
