Tuesday, May 6, 2025 - The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has released a detailed statistical breakdown of the 2025 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) results, shedding light on the performance of candidates nationwide.
According to the board, a total of 1,955,069 candidates sat
for the 2025 UTME. Of this number, over 1.5 million candidates scored below
200.
The data also revealed that 4,756 candidates scored above
320, while 7,658 scored between 300 and 319.
In its accompanying statement, JAMB noted that 40,247
underage candidates were granted permission to take the exam in order to
demonstrate exceptional academic ability.
However, only 467 of these underage candidates—representing
1.16%—achieved scores that meet the board’s defined threshold for exceptional
performance. JAMB added that these candidates will still undergo three
additional assessment stages before their final evaluations are complete.
