The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) is preparing to announce the results of candidates who took the 2025 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME).
Reports suggest that the results will be released before noon on Friday, during an event scheduled to take place at JAMB’s headquarters in Bwari.
The terse invitation is ready: “The release of 2025 UTME is scheduled to be held tomorrow, Friday, 9th May 2025; Venue: JAMB National Headquarters, Bwari, Abuja; Time: 8am.’
Recall that JAMB had, on Tuesday, released the statistical data of the performance of its candidates for the UTME examination.
From the statistics released, out of 1,955,069 candidates who sat for the 2025 UTME, more than 1.5 million scored less than 200 points in the examination.
The analysis also showed that only 420,415 candidates scored above 200 points, with 756 of them scoring above 320.
Up to 7,658 of the candidates scored between 300 and 319 points.
“As part of the results, 40,247 underage candidates were permitted to demonstrate their exceptional abilities.
“However, only 467 of these candidates (1.16 percent) achieved scores that meet the threshold for exceptional ability as defined for the UTME, with their performance in the subsequent three stages still pending.
“Of the total number registered, 97 candidates were involved in examination infractions, while 2,157 others are currently undergoing investigation for suspected malpractices.
