The National Open University of Nigeria (NOUN) has shifted the commencement date for the 2025_2 virtual e-examination to Monday, 8th December 2025. This update affects all students who have already registered for the online examination.
The university explained that ongoing technical glitches on the exam platform prompted the adjustment. Rather than allowing students to experience login failures or submission errors, NOUN decided to fix the issues first before examinations begin.
Why the Virtual Exam Date Changed
According to the Directorate of Examinations and Assessment, the present technical challenge could disrupt:
- Signing into the exam system
- Accessing questions smoothly
- Submitting responses successfully
By moving the start date forward, NOUN aims to stabilize the platform and ensure fair and stress-free assessment for every student. This brief delay allows the technical team to complete all corrections and testing.
