Many candidates who have recently completed their registration for the 2025 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) have reported an issue where their JAMB Profile still shows details from the 2024 session. This has caused considerable concern, as some fear that their new registration might not have been processed successfully. However, the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has officially addressed the matter, assuring all candidates that their profiles will automatically update once the new system is fully activated.
If you have logged into your JAMB Profile and noticed that your 2024 information is still visible, there is no reason to worry. According to JAMB, the portal for the 2025 UTME has not yet been completely opened for candidates to access. Even though your registration may have been successfully completed, the system is temporarily displaying the most recent session’s data, which, in this case, is from 2024.

Why Is the JAMB Profile Not Updated Yet?
A recent case shared on social media involved a candidate who expressed his confusion after logging into his JAMB Profile and finding that his account still reflected his 2024 details, despite having registered for the 2025 UTME. He mentioned that he had used the same phone number and email address for both the 2024 and 2025 registrations, which likely contributed to his concerns.
In response, JAMB quickly provided clarification through its official X (formerly Twitter) account, @JAMBHQ. The board explained that the JAMB Profile update for the 2025 UTME is not yet fully live for candidates to view. JAMB stated, “There’s no cause for alarm. This happens because the 2025 platform isn’t yet made available for candidates’ view.”
This clarification means that although your registration for the 2025 UTME is complete, your JAMB Profile may still be showing outdated information until JAMB activates the full dashboard for the current year. Essentially, the system is in the process of updating and will reflect your 2025 details once that process is finalized.

When Will the JAMB Profile Be Updated?
JAMB typically allows candidates full access to their UTME information as major exam dates approach. Therefore, if your JAMB Profile is still displaying 2024 details, it is simply because the 2025 session is not yet fully enabled. Historically, JAMB activates the full profile view before key milestones, such as:
- Mock Exam Slip Reprinting: This is when candidates sitting for the mock examination can begin printing their exam slips, which contain crucial details.
- Main UTME Slip Reprinting: All registered candidates will be able to reprint their slips to confirm their official exam date, center, and time.
- The UTME Examination Period: By the time the exam starts, every candidate’s JAMB Profile will reflect their complete and updated 2025 registration information.
Once the system is fully live, your JAMB Profile will show all relevant 2025 UTME details, including your examination center, date and time, and any other critical registration data. It is important to remain patient and avoid unnecessary panic while the update process is underway.

Final Advice for Candidates
Candidates are strongly advised not to make unnecessary visits to CBT centers or pay fees in an attempt to “fix” their JAMB Profile. As JAMB has already explained, the profile update issue is temporary and does not indicate a problem with your registration. Instead, keep an eye on official JAMB communications through their website and verified social media channels for the latest updates.
In summary, while it is understandable to be concerned when your JAMB Profile does not yet show your current registration status, rest assured that JAMB is aware of the situation and has plans to fully activate the 2025 UTME dashboard soon. Stay patient, avoid scams, and continue preparing for your exam with confidence.
