The 2025 policy meeting, chaired by the Honourable Minister of Education, resolved that all public universities must complete 2025 admissions by 31st October 2025, while all private universities must finalise admissions by 30th November 2025. Furthermore, all other tertiary institutions, both public and private, must conclude admissions by 31st December 2025. Accordingly, ALL TERTIARY institutions are to keep within the timelines.

All institutions must complete preliminaries, including post-UTME screening, and submit their recommended lists via CAPS not later than 30th September, 2025, to allow for full scrutiny and timely processing.
Private universities are expected to submit theirs by 31st October 2025.
