The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has officially reiterated that there will be no rescheduling of exams for candidates who miss their scheduled UTME sessions. This announcement is a firm reminder to all 2025 UTME candidates that punctuality and adequate preparation are not just important — they are absolutely critical.
According to JAMB, candidates who fail to appear at their allocated exam centers at the correct date and time will forfeit their opportunity to sit for the examination this year.
This strict stance is part of JAMB's efforts to maintain the integrity, fairness, and smooth conduct of the Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) across the country.
▪︎ Official Announcement:
Why This Matters:
▪︎ No Second Chances: Missing your exam session means losing your UTME chance for the year. There will be no makeup exam for absentees, no matter the reason.
▪︎ Strict Scheduling: The UTME involves thousands of candidates nationwide, operating within a tight schedule. Allowing rescheduling could disrupt the entire process.
▪︎ Security and Planning: Centers are pre-assigned based on strict biometric verification processes. Rescheduling would compromise exam security and logistics.
What Candidates Must Do:
▪︎ Reprint and Verify Your Exam Slip:
Double-check your exam date, time, and center. Make sure everything is correctly noted.
▪︎ Locate Your Exam Center Ahead:
If you're unfamiliar with the center, visit it a day or two before your scheduled exam date.
▪︎ Arrive Early:
Be at your center at least two hours before your exam time to allow for biometric verification and other protocols.
▪︎ Be Prepared:
Have all your necessary materials ready
• Exam slip
• Identification
• No prohibited items like electronic devices, bags, or ATM cards.
Final Note:
JAMB has made it clear: "No rescheduling for absentees."
Stay sharp, stay prepared, and show up on time. Your future is worth the extra effort.
We at Delvis Educational Consult wish you success in your 2025 UTME journey.
