JAMB RELEASES 2025 UTME RESULTS STATISTICAL UPDATES - SEE FULL ANALYSIS

The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has released the results of the 2025 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME).

More than 1.5 million of the 1,955,069 applicants who took the 2025 UTME this year received scores lower than 200.

JAMB disclosed this on Monday in their statistical analysis of the 2025 UTME results.

According to the data, in the 2025 UTME, only 420,415 applicants received a score higher than 200.

Less than 1% of the candidates scored higher than 300 on the test, while 75% of the candidates scored lower than 200, according to the data.

JAMB also disclosed that 2,157 candidates who sat for the 2025 UTME are under investigation for alleged examination malpractices.

The examination body revealed that only 467 of the 40,247 underage candidates permitted to take the exam met the exceptional ability threshold, representing just 1.16% of that group.

“As part of the results, 40,247 underage candidates were permitted to demonstrate their exceptional abilities. However, only 467 of these candidates (1.16%) achieved scores that meet the threshold for exceptional ability as defined for the UTME, with their performance in the subsequent three stages still pending,” It added.

JAMB added that 71,701 candidates were absent and some of the candidates who faced biometric challenges are also under investigation, and those who are cleared will be rescheduled for examination at designated centres.

It also noted a few of the results, including those of blind candidates and others in the JEOG candidate group, are still being processed.
