JAMB 2025 UTME Officially Ends Today, Monday May 5

The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has concluded the 2025 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) today, Monday, May 5, 2025, marking the end of this year’s nationwide computer-based testing exercise.

According to earlier announcements by the board, the exam, which began on Wednesday, April 24, was scheduled to run for 12 days. Over 2 million candidates across Nigeria participated in the 2025 UTME, spread across more than 800 accredited CBT centres.

Mixed Reactions From Candidates

Throughout the exam period, candidates shared a wide range of experiences—some praising their centres for orderliness, while others complained about technical issues, poor coordination, and strict timing. Reports from various states included biometric verification failures, power outages, and delays that led to rescheduling for some candidates.

Despite these challenges, the majority of candidates were able to sit for their exams successfully, and many are now eagerly awaiting the release of results.

What Happens Next?

With the exams now concluded, attention turns to the release of results. While the exact release date has not been confirmed by JAMB, candidates are advised to start checking their profiles in the coming days.

Additionally, those who experienced technical issues such as biometric failure or incomplete sessions are expected to receive rescheduling notices directly from the board through their JAMB portals or registered emails and phone numbers.

JAMB is also expected to issue official statistics in the coming days—including pass rates, state-by-state performance, and further announcements on admission procedures for 2025.
