Abuja: The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has announced the release of the 2025 Mock UTME results, conducted on Thursday. JAMB’s spokesperson, Dr. Fabian Benjamin, shared this update in Abuja on Sunday, urging candidates to check their results by sending ‘MOCKRESULT’ to either 55019 or 66019 using the phone number registered for the examination.
According to News Agency of Nigeria, the optional mock examination aims to test JAMB’s annual innovations and provide candidates with an opportunity to experience the Computer-Based Test (CBT) environment. Dr. Benjamin highlighted that the mock examination serves as a trial version of the UTME, allowing JAMB to test new innovations while helping candidates familiarise themselves with the CBT environment.
Dr. Benjamin further explained that over the years, the initiative has successfully addressed noted lapses and equipped candidates with valuable experience for the main examination. He revealed that a total of 200,115 candidates initially expressed interest in participating; however, two candidates withdrew, resulting in 200,113 registered candidates. Of those registered, 73,844 candidates were absent on the day of the examination, and 88 candidates failed the biometric verification screening.
Consequently, 126,181 candidates successfully sat for the examination, and results for 115,735 of these candidates are now available for viewing. Additionally, 10,446 results are still being processed and will be released soon. Dr. Benjamin acknowledged the delays experienced by some candidates during the examination and expressed regret for any inconvenience caused.
According to the board, these challenges were anticipated due to the new features implemented to enhance the overall conduct of the main UTME.
