What’s Next After JAMB Registration? JAMB Exam 2025

The 2025 JAMB registration has officially ended, and now, candidates are shifting focus to the next crucial phase—preparing for the UTME and ensuring a smooth admission process. Whether you are aiming for a high score or need guidance on what to do next, this post covers everything you should know after completing your JAMB registration.

1. Confirm Your JAMB Registration Status

After completing your JAMB registration, it is essential to verify your details to avoid any errors that may affect your examination.

Visit the JAMB e-facility portal (www.jamb.gov.ng)
Log in using your email and password
Check if your exam slip details (name, course, institution, and exam date) are correct

If you notice any mistakes, visit a JAMB-approved CBT centre immediately to make the necessary corrections.

2. Know Your Exam Date, Time, and Venue

JAMB will release the 2025 UTME exam schedule before the examination period. Your exam slip will contain details such as:

Date and time of your exam
JAMB CBT center location
Exam guidelines and instructions

Candidates must reprint their JAMB exam slip before the exam to know their designated venue and time.

3. Prepare for the JAMB Mock Exam (If You Applied)

Candidates who selected the JAMB mock exam during registration will have the opportunity to test their knowledge before the actual UTME. The mock exam helps you:

Get familiar with the CBT (Computer-Based Test) system
Experience the real JAMB exam environment
Identify weak areas and improve your performance

If you did not register for the mock exam, you can still practice using JAMB past questions and online CBT simulations.

4. Upload Your O’Level (WAEC/NECO) Result on JAMB Portal

If you registered JAMB with “Awaiting Result”, you must upload your WAEC or NECO result once it is released. Failure to do so may prevent you from gaining admission.

How to Upload Your O’Level Result

Visit a JAMB-accredited CBT center
Provide your JAMB registration number
Upload your WAEC/NECO result to your profile
Confirm the successful upload via your JAMB CAPS portal

Without uploading your result, universities cannot process your admission.

5. Activate Your JAMB CAPS for Admission Processing

The JAMB CAPS (Central Admission Processing System) is where candidates monitor their admission status. It allows you to:

Accept or reject admission offers
Check your admission progress
See if your first-choice institution has considered you

To access JAMB CAPS, visit the JAMB e-facility portal and log into your profile.

6. Start Intensive JAMB Preparation

With the exam date approaching, effective preparation is key. Here is how to prepare well:

Study JAMB-recommended textbooks and syllabus
Practice past questions using JAMB CBT apps
Improve your time management for answering questions
Focus on subjects you find difficult
Avoid distractions and maintain a study plan

7. Beware of JAMB Scams and Fraudsters

Many candidates fall for fake promises of “JAMB expo,” “100% sure questions,” or score upgrades. These are scams.

JAMB does not allow score upgrading, and anyone promising you that is a fraudster. Stick to hard work and genuine preparation.

8. Know Your First-Choice University’s Cutoff Mark

Each institution sets a JAMB cutoff mark for admission. After the JAMB exam, compare your score with your preferred university’s requirement to know your chances of getting admitted.

Some universities accept candidates for Post-UTME screening, while others rely on JAMB scores alone. Stay updated with your school’s admission process.

Conclusion

Now that your JAMB registration is complete, focus on preparing for the UTME exam, uploading your results, and monitoring your admission progress. Success in JAMB is not just about writing the exam—it is about following all the necessary steps correctly.
