What This Means for Candidates
With the UTME just weeks away, candidates should now focus on their preparation, revise thoroughly, and make sure they are familiar with the CBT format. The timetable serves as a guide, helping students organize their study schedules ahead of the examination.
For those who opted for the Mock UTME, the exam is an opportunity to practice under real exam conditions, gain confidence, and get used to the Computer-Based Test (CBT) format before sitting for the main UTME.
JAMB has advised all candidates to take the Mock UTME seriously, as it will expose them to potential challenges and help them adjust before the actual exam begins.
How to Check Your Exam Date and Center
JAMB has assured candidates that their examination schedule, including date, time, and center, will be available on their JAMB profile before the exam starts. To check this information:
- Visit www.jamb.gov.ng.
- Log into your JAMB profile.
- Click on “Print Examination Slip” once the option becomes available.
- The slip will contain your exam date, time, and CBT center location.
JAMB has strictly warned that candidates must print their examination slips and come to the exam center with a valid JAMB registration number.
JAMB’s Warning to Candidates
JAMB has once again reminded candidates that:
- There will be no second chance for missing the exam – If a candidate fails to show up on their scheduled exam day, they will not be given another date.
- Examination malpractice will not be tolerated – JAMB has put in place advanced security measures to detect cheating and impersonation. Any candidate caught engaging in malpractice will be disqualified and may face legal action.
- Arrive early at your exam center – Candidates are advised to get to their designated CBT centers at least one hour before the scheduled time to avoid unnecessary issues.
Final Words – Start Preparing Now
With the 2025 UTME dates officially confirmed, candidates should now focus on revising their subjects, practicing CBT-based questions, and preparing mentally for the exam.
For more updates and official announcements, candidates should regularly visit the JAMB official website at www.jamb.gov.ng and follow JAMB’s official social media pages.
