The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has reaffirmed its commitment to upholding the integrity of the Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) as it concludes registration for the 2025 exam.
With 2,030,627 candidates successfully registered for the examination slated for April 25, 2025, JAMB has introduced stringent measures to curb malpractice and fraud.
These include enhanced security features to detect forged A-level results and other dishonest practices. Already, multiple arrests have been made as a result of these new safeguards.
Additionally, 200,115 candidates have opted for the optional mock UTME scheduled for April 5, 2025, with 630 candidates set to take a trial version of the mock exam on the same date.
In its latest bulletin, JAMB urged candidates to strictly adhere to examination guidelines, warning that any form of cheating will be met with serious consequences.
“Candidates are strongly advised to adhere to the examination rules and regulations and refrain from any dishonest practices during the examination,” it said.
