2025 UTME Kicks Off at CBT Centres in FCT and Other States
Several computer-based test (CBT) centers in the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) and other federation states have opened for the 2025 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME).
Across the country, almost two million applicants would take the test.
It is anticipated that the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board, or JAMB, exam would conclude on May 5.
Candidates said their experience at the Sascon International School CBT center was easy and trouble-free.
Students recount experiences
Emmanuel Ezegwu, one of the applicants at the center, claimed that the test was simpler than in prior years.
“This center is great. I wrote this exam last year, but I can assure you that the experience this year is commendable. As far as I’m concerned, there are no problems with this exam,” he stated.
Another candidate, Vitoria Bilala, an 18-year-old candidate and first-timer to write JAMB, described the experience as good, despite feeling a little nervous while writing the exam.
“I quite commend the way they organize the exam because there were few or no hitches in this center.
“I had a technical issue at first, but as soon as I called the supervisor, it was fixed. Since this was my first time writing the exam, I was anxious,” she stated.
Only 11 of the 200 candidates scheduled to take the test were absent, according to Emmanuel Adaji, the center supervisor.
Speaking on how the applicants’ tardiness at the center caused their exam to be rescheduled, Adaji suggested that candidates arrive early.
He suggested that applicants traveling from nearby states organize to arrive before the exam day and, if required, spend the night.
In order to keep the center safe and orderly, he praised the cooperation between the management and officers of the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps, or NSCDC.
The exam at Christ Academy International School in Gwagwalada was proceeding smoothly and without any problems.
Abdulrahman Salihu, a candidate, who was in the first group planned for 6:30 a.m., said the exam was okay, including very good functional computer systems.
Salihu’s claim that she had no technical difficulties with the computer system was also supported by Charity Danjuma, another contender.
Danjuma, who wrote the UTME for the fourth time, said she was hopeful that she will be in with this year’s exam.
The exam was “stress-free,” according to Stephanie Okwori, a candidate at Future Gate Academy, Ado in Nasarawa State, who also praised the administrators for helping and creating a positive atmosphere.
According to Okwori, she was able to complete the questions in the allocated time since they were manageable.
Another applicant at Future Gate Academy, Joseph Joshua, had a comparable experience.
“I had enough time to get settled before the exam because the biometric verification began by 6:30 a.m.,” he added.
Joshua expressed hope about his performance and praised the invigilators’ professional demeanor and serene environment.
A applicant at the exam center at Bingham University, Clara Ajayi, did, however, report a slight delay in seating arrangements.
She claimed that although the administration and amenities were effective, it took some time for the officials to arrange for us to access.
The exams would be administered in three sessions each day, and despite the difficulties, Ajayi affirmed that the exam itself went smoothly.
