The UTME is set to commence on April 25, 2025, with four distinct batches each day to accommodate all candidates efficiently:
Each batch is designed to ensure that the examination process is smooth and that all candidates have adequate time to complete their papers.
The examination comprises four subjects, selected according to the candidate’s chosen field of study:
A total of 180 questions must be answered in a consolidated time of two hours. Notably, 10 questions will be from the JAMB recommended reading text, highlighting the importance of thorough preparation.
Candidates are advised to use an average of 40 seconds per question, a strategy that will help in managing the limited time effectively during the examination.
Understanding the keyboard shortcuts provided by JAMB can significantly enhance your efficiency during the exam:
For subjects involving calculations, an on-screen calculator will be available. It’s vital to familiarize yourself with its functionality before the exam day.
Biometric verification is the primary mode of admission into the examination centres. This verification is mandatory and serves as the attendance register during the examinations. Candidates experiencing issues with biometric verification should be recaptured at the centre to ensure their eligibility to sit for the exam.
It is important to be aware that expo/runz—illegally obtaining exam questions and answers—is not possible with JAMB. Any claims of providing prior access to exam content should be regarded as fraudulent.
On the exam day, ensure you arrive at your designated centre early, bearing in mind the batch you are assigned to. Read all instructions carefully before starting the exam, and remember that your performance depends not only on your knowledge but also on how well you follow these instructions.
This comprehensive overview should serve as your foundational guide to preparing for the 2025 UTME. Remember, a well-prepared candidate is already on the path to success. Good luck!
