The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has officially announced the commencement of the 2025 admission exercise across Nigerian tertiary institutions.
In a directive issued during the 2025 Policy Meeting chaired by the Minister of Education, clear deadlines were set for institutions to complete their admission processes:
-
Public universities – 31st October 2025
-
Private universities – 30th November 2025
-
Other institutions (public and private) – 31st December 2025
JAMB further encouraged institutions to finalise admissions ahead of schedule to avoid unnecessary delays.
For candidates, the board emphasized the mandatory upload of O’level results on the JAMB portal as part of the admission requirements.
With the 2025 WAEC SSCE results now released, all candidates are urged to immediately upload their results. Those still awaiting their SSCE outcomes will only be considered once their results are available and uploaded.
JAMB stressed that no candidate will be processed for admission without the required O’level results on its portal.
