This notice serves to formally inform the general public and all prospective candidates that the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has officially concluded the 2025 admission exercise for all Federal and State-owned universities.

The final cutoff date for this exercise was Monday, November 17, 2025.

🛑 Critical Changes to Portal Operations

Effective immediately, candidates are no longer permitted to execute the following processes on the JAMB portal concerning any Federal or State-owned university:

• Change of Course
• Change of Institution

All other services related to data correction and general admission updates (excluding the aforementioned institution/course changes for public universities) remain valid and accessible on the portal.

✅ Status of Pending Applications

Candidates should take note of the following important clarifications:

• Valid Changes: All candidates who successfully completed their Change of Course or Change of Institution applications on or before November 17, 2025, remain fully eligible. Their applications will continue to be processed and evaluated by the respective institutions.
• “Admission in Progress” Status: Candidates whose current status on the Central Admission Processing System (CAPS) displays “Admission in Progress” are unaffected by this closure. Their pending admissions are valid and will continue to be finalized directly by the admitting institution.

Candidates are strongly advised to constantly monitor their JAMB CAPS and the official communication channels of their chosen institutions for updates on their admission status.
