No fewer than 211,000 candidates on Thursday sat for the 2025 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) Mock exam conducted by the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) across designated Computer-Based Test (CBT) centres in the country.
JAMB Registrar, Prof. Ishaq Oloyede, who disclosed this while monitoring the exercise at a CBT centre in Bwari, Abuja, revealed that the results of the mock examination will be released on Friday.
Ishaq Oloyede noted that the mock UTME exercise is aimed at testing the board’s readiness for the main examination and experimenting with new strategies to improve the process.
The Registrar, who said the only way to pass UTME is by studying hard, expressed concerns that some candidates are patronizing rogue websites in order to cheat in the exam, adding that JAMB has also opened a decoy website targeting such individuals.
He advised candidates to steer clear of fraudulent websites and individuals claiming to offer assistance during the examination.
Recall that the 2025 UTME is scheduled to commence on April 25 at approved CBT centres across the country.
