The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has extended the closing date for the 2025/2026 admission exercise in all public universities to Monday, 17th November 2025.
Why JAMB Granted the 2-Week Extension
- AVCNU Appeal & Court Order Delay: The extension followed an appeal by the Association of Vice-Chancellors of Nigerian Universities (AVCNU) after a court order disrupted the processing of some 2025/2026 admission lists until 28th October 2025.
- 229 Newly Accredited NUC Programmes: In addition, the National Universities Commission (NUC) approved 229 newly accredited degree programmes across 37 universities on 29th October 2025, requiring extra time to admit pioneer students into those courses.
JAMB emphasized that Monday, 17th November 2025 is the final deadline for public universities. Candidates awaiting admission should check their JAMB CAPS dashboard daily and ensure their O'Level results are uploaded.
