Record 2.03 million candidates register for 2025 UTME
Earlier, TheTalk.NG reported that the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has announced that a record-breaking 2,030,627 candidates have registered for the 2025 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME), marking the highest number of applicants in the board’s history.
This year’s registration figures surpass the 1.9 million candidates who applied for the UTME in 2023.
Among the registered candidates, 41,026 are below the age of 16, reflecting a growing trend of younger students seeking admission into tertiary institutions.
Dr. Fabian Benjamin, JAMB’s Public Communication Advisor, confirmed the details during an interview in Abuja. He noted that the registration process, which concluded on March 8, excluded foreign candidates who will sit for the examination outside Nigeria.
JAMB candidates who would be barred
Meanwhile, TheTalk.NG reported that JAMB stressed that candidates whose biometrics verification is unsuccessful on the examination day would not be permitted to sit the UTME or its mock version.
JAMB noted that no parent or proxy is allowed to make any transaction on candidates’ profiles or interfere with the registration “to avoid alterations and data mismatch”.
To curtail registration infractions, the board reiterated the readiness of its surveillance mechanisms to track down uncooperative operators noting that a seamless registration exercise is a requirement for a successful examination.
