The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) is gearing up for the much-anticipated 2025 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME), with promising updates that will ensure an unprecedented experience for all candidates. Although the exact date for the examination is yet to be confirmed, JAMB has emphasized its readiness for a smooth and innovative registration and exam process, setting high expectations for the upcoming academic year.
JAMB’s commitment to excellence is highlighted by the new measures it has put in place to make this year’s UTME the most exceptional in its history. According to the board, the insights gained from the 2024 UTME review have been incorporated into the planning for the 2025 edition to ensure a more streamlined and effective process.
The board, through its spokesperson, Fabian Benjamin, explained that JAMB had conducted a thorough review of the 2024 UTME. This review focused on improving key areas, including the generation of enough exam items, the accreditation of exam centers, and the overall registration process. All these adjustments aim to create a hassle-free and high-quality examination experience for candidates.
In line with the President’s Renewed Hope Agenda, JAMB is determined to deliver an outstanding UTME in 2025. The board has completed the accreditation of exam centers and prepared a sufficient pool of exam questions to ensure a smooth assessment. Additionally, registration for the 2025 UTME will begin in January, and JAMB encourages prospective candidates to start by creating their profiles to avoid delays.
To facilitate a seamless registration, candidates are advised to send a text message containing their National Identification Number (NIN) to 55019. This step will ensure they can complete their registration without encountering any issues once the official process begins.
An important note for candidates: JAMB has issued a warning about the use of henna, also known as ‘Laali’ or ‘Lale,’ during registration. Applying henna on the fingers may interfere with biometric verification, which is essential for exam access. In some cases, attempts to remove henna with harsh chemicals can damage fingerprints, making it difficult, if not impossible, to complete the biometric process.
JAMB emphasized that candidates must ensure their biometric data is successfully verified to gain entry into the examination hall. Without this verification, candidates will be unable to access the exam questions.
In conclusion, JAMB is determined to provide a hassle-free and exceptional UTME experience for all candidates in 2025. By adhering to the outlined registration steps and avoiding henna use, prospective candidates can look forward to a smoother, more efficient process come January.
