2.03M Candidates Registered For 2025 UTME – JAMB

The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board has come out to say that 2,030,627 candidates have registered for this year’s Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination.

Reports have it that this is the highest number of applications the board has received in its history of conducting UTME.

According to JAMB, the number excludes the candidates who registered to sit for the examination at foreign centres, and 200,115 candidates have expressed interest in taking the optional mock UTME, scheduled to hold on April 5, 2025.

The board added that candidates are strongly advised to adhere to the examination rules and regulations and refrain from any dishonest practices during the examination.

A statement read, “This year, the board implemented several innovative measures to deter cheating and maintain the integrity of the examination process.

These measures have already led to multiple arrests of candidates attempting to use forged A-level results for admission, highlighting the effectiveness of the new system designed to detect such fraud.

Candidates are strongly advised to adhere to the examination rules and regulations and refrain from any dishonest practices during the examination.”

WOW.
