The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has directed Nigerian public universities to complete their 2025 admission processes by October 31, 2025.
A schedule released by the board stipulates that private universities must conclude admissions by November 30, 2025, while all other tertiary institutions, whether public or private, have until December 31, 2025.
The directive was contained in JAMB’s weekly bulletin issued on Monday.
According to the board, the timelines align with the resolutions of the 2025 Policy Meeting chaired by the Minister of Education.
The board explained that the move is intended to stabilise the academic calendar and guarantee fair access to admission opportunities across institutions.
“Following the directives issued at the 2025 Policy Meeting chaired by the Honourable Minister of Education, all tertiary institutions have been instructed to conclude their admission processes by the end of 2025 according to the schedule below:
“Public universities: To complete admissions by 31st October, 2025. Private universities: To complete admissions by 30th November, 2025. All other institutions (public and private): complete admissions by 31st December 2025.”
JAMB further advised institutions to complete their admissions well before the deadlines.
“Even where an institution is not yet ready to commence the new academic session, such an institution should conduct its admission and archive it. By this policy directive, all admission processes must be concluded within the prescribed timelines.”
The board also stressed the need for post-UTME screenings to be finalised on time.
“Consequently, institutions conducting post-UTME screenings are expected to conclude those exercises in good time to comply with the 2025 admissions schedule,” JAMB said.
