By Funmilayo Adeyemi
The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has published the outcomes of the 2025 Mock UTME, which took place on Thursday.
The disclosure was included in a statement provided to journalists in Abuja on Sunday by JAMB’s spokesman, Dr Fabian Benjamin.
Benjamin advised applicants to verify their scores by texting "MOCKRESULT" to either 55019 or 66019 with the mobile number (SIM) used for registering for the exam.
He mentioned that the voluntary practice exam was created to assess the board’s yearly updates and offer candidates a chance to familiarize themselves with the Computer-Based Test (CBT) setting.
As he explains, the simulated exam acts as a preliminary form of the UTME, enabling the board to assess fresh ideas while assisting candidates in getting accustomed to the CBT setting.
Benjamin mentioned that over time, the program has effectively met its goals, tackling identified shortcomings and providing candidates with essential experience needed for the primary exam.
A total of 200,115 individuals originally showed interest in taking part; nonetheless, two candidates subsequently withdrew, leaving 200,113 registered participants.
Out of those enrolled, 73,844 individuals did not show up for the exam, and 88 candidates did not pass the biometric verification process.
As a result, 126,181 candidates successfully took the exam, and results for 115,735 of them can now be viewed.
Furthermore, he mentioned that 10,446 results are currently under processing and will be published shortly.
He stated that "the board recognizes the delays faced by certain candidates during the exam and apologizes for any discomfort this may have caused."
As stated by the board, these issues are expected because of the new elements introduced to improve the general administration of the primary UTME.
