The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has announced the schedule and sales of forms for the 2025 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME).
According to JAMB Registrar, Prof. Ishaq Oloyede, the sale of application forms will begin on January 31, 2025, and will conclude on March 5, 2025.
For candidates seeking direct entry, the sale of application documents and e-PIN vending will start on March 10, 2025, and end on April 7, 2025.
The Mock UTME Is scheduled for April 5, 2025, while the main UTME will take place from April 25 to May 5, 2025.
Candidates who choose to register for the UTME with a mock exam will pay a fee of ₦8,200, while those opting for the UTME alone will pay ₦7,200.
In a breakdown of the UTME/Direct Entry (DE) application fees, candidates will be required to pay ₦3,500 for the application fee, ₦1,000 for the reading text, ₦700 for the CBT Centre registration service charge, ₦1,500 for the CBT Centre UTME service charge, ₦1,500 for the CBT mock service charge, ₦500 for bank charges, and ₦1,500 for the CBT mock-UTME centre charge.
In addition, JAMB has introduced a special mock UTME aimed at candidates under the age of 16. This mock exam, however, is not intended for admission purposes but serves as an opportunity for younger candidates to gauge their abilities ahead of the main examination.
For admission into any tertiary institution in the country, candidates must be at least 16 years old by September 30, 2025.
However, Prof. Oloyede mentioned that exceptional candidates who are under 15 years of age may still be considered for admission if they achieve a minimum UTME score of 280 and show strong performance in their Senior Secondary Certificate and post-UTME examinations.
