This is the main reason 2024 UTME candidates couldn't choose the Universities during registration or change to it after the entrance exams. Now, "the universities are ready to offer admission for 2025 UTME candidates," JAMB explained.
JAMB Registrar, Prof. Ishaq Oloyede, encouraged 2025 and beyond UTME candidates to utilize the JAMB's change of institution portal at any CBT centre to change to the newly established universities, if they desire. Candidates who didn't choose the any of the University as first choice must do so to secure admission.
Furthermore, JAMB has given these Universities the authority to re-advertise this decision so that candidates can get the awareness that they're now admitting.
However, these schools are not to admit candidates who didn't sit for 2025 UTME. JAMB also warns the schools that no regularization or acceptance of unlawful admissions will be permitted.
