The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has officially announced the registration and examination dates for the 2025 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME). Prospective candidates can begin their registration on January 31, 2025, with the process set to end on March 5, 2025.
The announcement, made by JAMB Registrar Prof. Ishaq Oloyede during a meeting with media executives in Lagos, also revealed that the 2025 UTME will commence on March 8, 2025, with a mock examination scheduled for February 23, 2025, for candidates who opt to participate.
Key Details of the 2025 Registration
To ensure a smooth process, JAMB has reiterated that all candidates must meet the mandatory requirements, including providing their National Identification Number (NIN). The NIN will be used to create a profile code, a prerequisite for the registration process. Candidates are required to send their NIN via text to either 55019 or 66019 to generate the code.
For those opting to include the mock examination as part of their UTME registration, a fee of ₦8,200 will apply. Candidates who wish to sit only for the UTME without the mock will pay ₦7,200, while those registering for Direct Entry (DE) will pay ₦5,700.
Importance of Mock Examination
The mock examination is designed to give candidates an opportunity to familiarize themselves with the Computer-Based Testing (CBT) format and enhance their preparation. JAMB has also introduced a separate trial-testing mock for candidates below the age of 16 who wish to experience the CBT process without participating in the main UTME.
Increased Examination Centres
To accommodate the growing number of candidates, JAMB has approved 870 computer-based test centres for the 2025 UTME, a notable increase from the 747 centres used in 2024. This expansion aims to minimize technical challenges and ensure a seamless experience for all participants.
Commitment to Excellence
JAMB emphasized its dedication to providing candidates with an improved registration and examination process. “The Board believes that candidates participating in the 2025 UTME will experience an examination like never before,” Prof. Oloyede stated, highlighting steps taken to address issues from previous years.
Advice for Candidates
Candidates are encouraged to prepare early by creating their profiles, gathering necessary documents, and staying updated through JAMB’s official platforms. Registration must be completed within the designated window, as late submissions will not be entertained.
With these announcements, JAMB reaffirms its commitment to maintaining transparency, efficiency, and fairness in the UTME process, ensuring candidates have the best possible experience in 2025.
I’m having issues getting my profile code as I no longer have access to the phone number I linked my NIN with for Jamb 2 years ago and also having difficulty creating a new one and also I tried to send resend if I can get the luck of getting my profile code to be resent to my new phone number but to no avail.
