| JAMB Orders Universities to Conclude 2025 Admissions by October |
The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has issued a directive to all Nigerian universities to complete their 2025 admission processes within strict deadlines. According to the board, all public universities must wrap up admissions no later than October 31, 2025.
This move, JAMB explained, is aimed at stabilising Nigeria’s academic calendar and ensuring fairness in the admission process across all institutions.
Key Deadlines for 2025 University Admissions
In its weekly bulletin released on Monday, JAMB outlined the following admission timelines:
- Public Universities: Must conclude all 2025 admissions by October 31, 2025.
- Private Universities: Required to finalise admissions by November 30, 2025.
- All Tertiary Institutions: (Universities, Polytechnics, Colleges of Education) must complete admission processes by December 31, 2025.
The directive was issued in line with decisions taken during the 2025 Policy Meeting chaired by the Honourable Minister of Education.
Why JAMB Imposed Admission Deadlines
According to JAMB, the strict deadlines were introduced to:
- Stabilise the academic calendar across institutions.
- Ensure equitable access to admission opportunities for all candidates.
- Prevent unnecessary delays in academic activities.
The board further stated:
“Even if an institution is not ready to commence a new academic session, it must conduct its admission and archive it.”
This means that no university or tertiary institution is permitted to extend admission beyond the approved dates.
Post-UTME Screening Must Be Completed Early
JAMB also reminded institutions conducting Post-UTME screenings to conclude them promptly. The board emphasised that all admission exercises must adhere strictly to the approved timelines without exception.
For students preparing for admission, it is important to stay updated on institutional requirements and deadlines. You can find helpful guides on admission processes, exam preparation, and educational updates on Android Pols Education Section (internal link).

Final Thoughts
The 2025 JAMB admission deadline is a critical step toward improving efficiency in Nigeria’s higher education system. By enforcing these timelines, JAMB aims to streamline academic activities and ensure that students across the country begin their academic sessions without unnecessary delays.
