2025 Mock UTME: JAMB announces fresh date

The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has announced a new date for the 2025 Mock Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME), shifting it from April 5 to April 10, 2025.

In a statement released on Monday, JAMB spokesperson, Dr. Fabian Benjamin, explained that the rescheduling was necessary to accommodate new innovations and enhancements aimed at improving the examination process. He also noted that the adjustment would allow for the integration of more examination centres to cater to the increasing number of candidates.

“The adjustment aims to ensure that all necessary preparations are completed, incorporating a variety of innovations and enhancements designed to make this examination one of the best in history, while also accommodating the increased number of examination centres for the 2025 exercise,” the statement read.

With this change, the Mock UTME will now take place on Thursday, April 10, 2025, while the main UTME remains scheduled to commence on April 25, 2025.

JAMB emphasized that the decision aligns with global best practices and ongoing research on examination methodologies, ensuring that the mock exam effectively prepares candidates for the main UTME.

The board also urged candidates to stay updated on the printing of their Mock Notification Slips, which will contain details of their examination centres.

This latest development is part of JAMB’s commitment to enhancing the examination experience and ensuring a smooth, well-organized testing process for all candidates.
