If you’re still struggling with your 2025 Post-UTME registration at Nasarawa State University, Keffi (NSUK), here’s some good news: the university has officially extended the application deadline by two weeks.

Originally scheduled to close on Friday, August 29, 2025, the registration portal will now remain open until Friday, September 12, 2025.

The university management explained that the extension was introduced to help candidates facing issues such as:

• Change of course or institution,

• And other registration-related challenges.

According to NSUK, the move is a “gracious gesture” to ensure no qualified candidate misses out on securing admission for the 2025/2026 academic session.
