• More updates on JAMB exam
The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has made fresh clarifications. This is as the 2025 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) begins today.
Its already known that a total of 2,030,627 candidates would sit for the exam in the 887 centres nationwide. The Board’s spokesperson, Dr. Fabian Benjamin, made it clear. He also revealed that 41,026 of the candidates are below 16 years.
Speaking in the online media dialogue organised by the Education Writers’ Association of Nigeria (EWAN) yesterday evening, Dr. Fabian also said that the exams would be hitch-free.
He also spoke on the ‘frequently asked questions,’ including issues related to exam numbers.
“And every candidate should know that their exam number, question papers, and other details are usually tied to their exam towns and to sit for the exam elsewhere will work against the candidate and that is why JAMB will never send any candidate outside their choice exam towns,” he said.
The UTME would last one week starting from today.
