According to a statement issued by JAMB in Abuja, the results were made public at exactly 8:00 am on Friday, May 9, 2025, at the board’s headquarters in Bwari. This marks a critical step for over 1.9 million candidates who sat for the exam this year.

Over 1.9 Million Candidates Sat for the 2025 UTME
This year’s UTME saw over 1.9 million candidates across the country take part in the examination. As always, the Use of English was compulsory for everyone, while the other three subjects were based on each candidate’s course of choice.
But here’s the big headline—JAMB has revealed that more than 1.5 million candidates scored below 200 out of the total 400 marks. That’s a huge number, considering that 200 is the benchmark score for many universities in Nigeria.
The Minister of Education, Dr. Tunji Alausa, reacted to this, saying the numbers show that recent efforts to curb malpractice are starting to yield results.
“We’re seeing more honest scores and less manipulation. It means the system is becoming more credible,” he said.
