ABU Resit Examination Calendar 2024/2025 Academic Session
Ahmadu Bello University has approved the resit exam calendar for final year students of the 2024/2025 session. Registration, revision, and exams have fixed dates in November 2025, while the next semester begins in January 2026. Students are advised to take note and prepare in good time.
The Senate of Ahmadu Bello University, Zaria, at its 554th meeting held on Thursday, 25 September 2025, approved the timetable for the special resit examinations meant for final year students. This is a chance many students look forward to, and one they must treat with all seriousness.
Key Dates to Keep in Mind
Here’s the breakdown of the schedule in clear steps:
- End of Second Semester: Saturday, 27 September 2025
- Registration for Resit: Monday, 10 November – Saturday, 15 November 2025 (1 week)
- Revision Period: Monday, 10 November – Saturday, 22 November 2025 (2 weeks)
- Resit Examinations: Monday, 24 November – Saturday, 29 November 2025 (1 week)
- Resumption for New Session: Monday, 5 January 2026
It is tight, almost like a farmer rushing to gather harvest before the rains set in. Miss one date, and the whole effort could go to waste.
A Note for Final Year Students
These exams are only for those at the final stretch of their study. The window is short, but it gives a lifeline to tidy up pending courses. Students are advised to register on time, make use of the revision weeks, and walk into the exam hall prepared.
Looking Ahead
Once the dust settles from the resits, the university will swing into the new academic session starting 5 January 2026. For students, that means no long wait, just a brief breather before the next round of lectures begins.
The message is clear: plan ahead, stick to the dates, and use the opportunity wisely. After all, as the old saying goes, “time and tide wait for no one.”
