JAMB 2025 Mock UTME Rescheduled: New Date and Key Updates for Candidates

The JAMB 2025 Mock UTME has been officially rescheduled, shifting from its initial date of Saturday, April 5, 2025, to a new date—Thursday, April 10, 2025. The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) announced this change as part of its ongoing efforts to enhance exam logistics and provide a seamless testing experience for candidates.

This adjustment ensures that all JAMB 2025 Mock UTME test centers are fully prepared while incorporating new examination innovations. According to official reports from JAMB, this mock test is designed to help candidates get familiar with the Computer-Based Test (CBT) system before the main Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) begins.

If you have registered for the JAMB 2025 Mock UTME, here’s what you need to know about the changes, including the reprint process, main UTME exam details, and preparation strategies.

Why Was the JAMB 2025 Mock UTME Rescheduled?

The JAMB 2025 Mock UTME was initially scheduled for April 5, but the board decided to postpone it by five days. According to JAMB, this decision was made to:

Ensure all CBT centers are fully functional before the exam.
Integrate new examination innovations for a smoother process.
Provide additional preparation time for candidates.

The JAMB 2025 Mock UTME is not just a trial exam—it serves as a simulation of the actual UTME to help students adjust to the digital testing environment. Candidates who participate in the mock exam will gain hands-on experience using the CBT system, reducing anxiety before the main UTME.

When Will JAMB 2025 Mock UTME Reprinting Start?

Candidates will need to reprint their JAMB 2025 Mock UTME exam slips to confirm their examination details, including:

Exam date
Time slot
Assigned CBT center

JAMB has not yet announced the mock exam slip reprinting date, but it is expected to be released a few days before the new exam date on April 10. Candidates should regularly check the official JAMB portal for updates.

JAMB 2025 Main UTME: No Changes to the Official Date

While the JAMB 2025 Mock UTME has been rescheduled, the main UTME exam remains unchanged. Candidates must prepare for the main UTME, which will be held from Friday, April 25, 2025, to Monday, May 5, 2025.

The main UTME exam slip reprinting will begin on April 17, 2025. Every candidate must reprint their slip to confirm their exam center, date, and time slot. Failure to do so may result in candidates missing their exams, as JAMB does not offer rescheduling opportunities.

What Candidates Should Do Now

With the JAMB 2025 Mock UTME postponed candidates should use this extra time wisely. Here’s how you can maximize your preparation:

Practice with JAMB CBT software and apps – Since the JAMB 2025 Mock UTME is designed to simulate the main UTME, practising with past questions using CBT software will help you become comfortable with the format.
Review key subject areas – Focus on high-weight topics across subjects like English, Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry, Biology, Government, and Literature.
Follow official JAMB updates – Keep an eye on JAMB’s official website and verified social media platforms for any new announcements.
Prepare for exam day logistics – Candidates should visit their assigned CBT centers in advance to avoid confusion on the day of the exam.

Common Concerns from Candidates and JAMB’s Response

Some candidates have reported difficulty accessing their JAMB profiles after using the same phone number and email from previous years. JAMB addressed this issue, assuring candidates that the 2025 platform will be fully updated soon. Until then, candidates may still see their 2024 details when logging in, but this does not affect their 2025 registration.

Additionally, reports surfaced of CBT centers charging extra fees for simple profile login assistance. JAMB has advised candidates not to pay unauthorized fees for services that should be free. Candidates are encouraged to visit official JAMB offices or accredited CBT centers for assistance.

Final Thoughts: Stay Focused and Trust the Process

The JAMB 2025 Mock UTME rescheduling is ultimately a positive change, as it provides candidates with additional preparation time and ensures better exam logistics. JAMB remains committed to a smooth and fair examination process for all students.
