Things you should be aware of

The UTME is administered via a local area network (LAN), not the Internet, as the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has made clear. Prof. Is-haq Oloyede, the board’s registrar, clarified this by saying that using a LAN guarantees a robust and safe examination process, removing worries about internet connectivity problems impacting the test.

With 2,030,627 applicants completing the registration procedure that started on February 3, 2025, more than 2 million candidates have signed up for the 2025 UTME, which is scheduled to start on April 25, 2025.

630 candidates have signed up for a trial mock exam, while 200,115 students have expressed interest in taking the optional mock UTME.
