Among these, 630 candidates have also registered for the trial mock examination, which will take place on the same date,” the board noted

With registration now closed, JAMB has shifted focus to examination security, implementing new anti-cheating measures to ensure the integrity of the test.

The Board warned all candidates to strictly adhere to examination guidelines and refrain from any dishonest practices.

Naijaonpoint reported that JAMB Registrar, Prof. Is-haq Oloyede, clarified that the misconception about the UTME relying on internet connectivity has raised concerns over possible technical glitches in the 2025 examination.

JAMB emphasized that UTME registration is separate from school-based exams like WAEC and NECO, urging stakeholders to acknowledge this distinction and adhere to its registration protocols.
