JAMB 2025 UTME Results – Monitoring Thread
Now that a good number of JAMB candidates have taken their exams, the next question is; when will the results be out? Well, JAMB had always mentioned the possibility of making the results available within 48 to 36 hours after each day of the exams. However, over the years, JAMB has not been able to stay true to that.
We cannot categorically say at the moment when the results for each exam day will be made available; whether JAMB will release the results in batches or wait until the end of the entire exams to release all the results at once. Whatever the case, this post will help us monitor the release of the 2025 UTME results for each day.
JAMB may not make any official announcement the moment they release batches of results. So this will be the best avenue to know when the results for your batch have been released. We urge candidates to let us know if they have seen their results either via email, SMS, official portal etc. They should also indicate the day they wrote the exam so other candidates, who fall under the same category, can check theirs as well.
Feel free to also engage in other discussions concerning JAMB results. You can discuss what score you’re hoping to get, what score would be good enough for a particular course or institution etc. Candidates are advised to check the comment section of this thread regularly to know when the results have been released to fellow candidates
JAMB releases important information on 2025 UTME results
The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has announced that the release of the 2025 UTME results will begin once all post-examination procedures, such as biometric verification and malpractice checks are completed. In a statement shared via its official X handle, JAMB urged candidates to remain patient, emphasizing its commitment to releasing only accurate and credible results. While no specific release date was given, the Board advised candidates to follow its official channels for updates and avoid misinformation.
If You Registered at These Centres, Reprint Your Exam Slip NOW!
The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has announced that candidates who registered at certain CBT centres must urgently reprint their JAMB examination slips. This follows the Board’s decision to delist five centres due to technical failures during the ongoing 2025 UTME exercise.
If you registered at any of the affected centres, it is important that you reprint your exam slip immediately to know your new examination centre and rescheduled date.
List of Delisted CBT Centres
The following CBT centres have been delisted:
Adventure Associate, Off Hadejia Road, Kano
Saadatu Rimi College of Education, Zaria Road, Naibawa, Kano

These centres failed to meet JAMB’s minimum operational standards and were found to have serious technical issues that could affect the integrity of the examination process.
JAMB Arrests Over 40 Candidate for Exam Malpractice in 2025 UTME, Warns of Swift Prosecution
JAMB Arrests Over 40 Candidate for Exam Malpractice in 2025 UTME, Warns of Swift Prosecution
The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has announced the arrest of over 40 individuals for various forms of examination malpractice in the ongoing 2025 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME).
The exam, which began on April 25 and is scheduled to end on May 5, has seen a dedicated focus on enforcement and exam integrity.
In its latest weekly bulletin released on Monday, the board identified impersonation as the most prevalent form of cheating. JAMB has reaffirmed its zero-tolerance policy toward examination fraud, vowing that anyone caught will face swift prosecution.
All arrested individuals are reportedly facing legal action, and JAMB has issued a fresh warning: any candidate caught engaging in impersonation or other misconduct will be immediately arrested and prosecuted.
Parents Express Frustration as Candidates Miss UTME in Cross River Due to Distant CBT Centres
The 2025 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME), scheduled from April 25 to May 5, has stirred complaints in Cross River State as many candidates were unable to participate due to being assigned CBT centres far from their location.
Parents in Calabar shared their frustration in interviews, lamenting the stress of the entire process from difficult registration procedures to distant exam postings. Many candidates were posted to local government areas such as Obudu, Akamkpa, and even neighboring Akwa Ibom, with some journeys taking over 8 hours.
“My daughter was posted to Akamkpa, which is two to three hours from Calabar. She’s just a teenager. It’s frustrating and unnecessary,” said Johnson Etim, a concerned parent.
Another parent, Jonas Achi, recalled sleeping overnight at the registration venue just to get a slot for his child. He described the crowd and network failures at centres like FAAN Secondary School and the University of Calabar Library as overwhelming.
Some candidates like 16-year-old Joseph Adagi were posted to Ikot Ekpene in Akwa Ibom but couldn’t attend due to the absence of local support or money for accommodation.
In addition to travel burdens, exam times scheduled as early as 6:30 a.m. left many families scrambling to either leave at 5 a.m. or lodge in hotels—incurring extra costs they couldn’t afford.
Former presidential candidate Peter Obi has also weighed in, calling the conduct of the 2025 UTME by JAMB “reckless,” and demanded accountability in the way centres are assigned.
The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) had earlier promised a cash reward for anyone who could provide credible evidence of being posted outside their selected town. However, parents argue that the process has placed undue strain on students and families alike.
With growing outcry, stakeholders are urging JAMB to reassess its CBT centre allocation process to avoid further disruption in future UTME exams.
