The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has officially closed the registration for the 2025 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) on Saturday, March 8, 2025.
The registration process, which began on February 3, 2025, saw a total of 2,030,627 candidates successfully complete their registration, allowing them to participate in the UTME scheduled for April 25, 2025. This figure excludes candidates who registered to sit for the examination in foreign centers.
Additionally, 200,115 candidates expressed interest in taking the optional mock UTME, set for April 5, 2025. Among these, 630 candidates have also registered for the trial mock examination, which will take place on the same date.
With the closure of the UTME registration, preparations for the annual examination are now in full swing. This year, the Board has implemented several innovative measures to deter cheating and maintain the integrity of the examination process.
