The Joint Admission Matriculation Board (JAMB) conducts the Unified
Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) for all candidates seeking admission
to tertiary institutions. This year’s examination occurred in 870 accredited
Computer-Based Test (CBT) centres nationwide from April 24, 2025, to May 5,
2025.
It had a total of 2,030,627 candidates (excluding foreign candidates). A report by
the examination board identified that this year’s figure is the highest in
recent memory, surpassing the 1.8 million registered in 2022.
In comparison, the 2024 UTME recorded 1,985,642
registrations, a 24.4% increase from 1,595,779 in 2023. The 2022 examination
saw 1,867,743 candidates, 1,949,983 in 2020, while 2018 had 1,653,127.
Each year’s figure represents the increasing demand
for higher education and the availability of admission slots.
Before proceeding to check your result, ensure you
