A total 1,955,069 candidates registered for the examination.

Metrobusinessnews.com had reported during the examination which began on Thursday, April 24, 2025, that it was marred by poor organisation, timing and chaotic situations at some centres.

The affected candidates had lamented frustrations and chaos emanating from poor network and technical issues, lack of enough computers, and general lack of preparedness in some JAMB computer-based test (CBT) centers, resulting in late starting, and outright prevention of some candidates from taking the examination.

According to some of the affected candidates, most of them spent about one hour to answer the four subjects as against the mandatory two hours, a situation that made them not to answer many questions.

“A press conference to announce the individual results of candidates and to facilitate result checking will be held later this week,” the report stressed.

However, the statistical analysis of 2025 UTME result released by JAMB on Monday indicated that only 420,415 candidates scored above 200 in the 2025 edition of the UTME.

While 4756 candidates scored above 320, 7658 candidates scored between 300 and 319.

Over 5,800 candidates fell below 120, with 2,031 scoring below 100.

In contrast, just 98,269 candidates or 5.02 per cent, scored above 250, while only 12,414 candidates, representing 0.63 per cent, achieved scores of 300 and above.

The JAMB stressed that results for some groups, including visually-impaired candidates and members of the JAMB Equal Opportunity Group (JEOG), were still being processed.

The Board also noted that 40,247 underage candidates were allowed to sit for the examination in a bid to showcase exceptional potential.

However, only 467 of these candidates, about 1.16 per cent, met the threshold for further assessment in the next three stages of the evaluation process.

The Board also recorded 97 confirmed cases of examination misconduct and 2,157 others currently under investigation for suspected malpractices.

Meanwhile, 71,701 registered candidates were absent from the exam. Several others are facing biometric verification challenges and may be rescheduled once cleared by the Board.
“Those facing biometric challenges are also under investigation, and those who are cleared will be rescheduled for examination at designated centres,” JAMB assured.

JAMB emphasized that some results are still being processed, particularly for blind candidates and those under the JAMB Equal Opportunity Group (JEOG).

The Board noted that all pending results would be released once the evaluation is complete.
