UTME 2025: Registration begins amid network challenges, leaving candidates stranded
Close to 100 candidates waiting to register for the 2025 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) at the Zulquid Consult Limited, the Computer-Based Test (CBT) centre at the Government Secondary School (GSS) Lugbe, left disappointed on Monday after officials told them they couldn’t register as a result of network challenge.
Around 2 p.m. on Monday, PREMIUM TIMES witnessed one of the officials asking candidates to leave and come back on Tuesday as the network was not working.
“Nobody has registered today. I’m just coming from Bwari now. Even our Zonal office in Kado, they closed the gate. Nobody is entering inside,” he told the waiting candidates.
‘Challenge from JAMB’ –CBT centre
An official of the centre, Ezekiel Feranmi, told PREMIUM TIMES that the network challenge emerged from the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) which administers the UTME, adding that the challenge is not peculiar to just the CBT centre.

JAMB 2025 Registration Procedures – Step-by-Step Guide
JAMB registration is the official process where candidates provide their details, choose their preferred institutions and courses, and register to write the UTME. It involves creating a JAMB profile, buying an e-PIN, and completing registration at a Computer-Based Test (CBT) center.
This process is important because it ensures that your information is correctly captured for the exam. Without completing registration, you cannot write the UTME or gain admission into any higher institution in Nigeria.
JAMB introduces mock UTME for underage candidates
The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board has introduced a mock Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination for candidates below the age of 16.
JAMB Registrar, Prof. Ishaq Oloyede, explained that the mock UTME is not for the purpose of tertiary institution admission but for underage seeking to test their ability.
Oloyede spoke on Sunday at a meeting with media executives in Lagos, where he also announced that this year’s UTME will be held on March 8, 2025.
“We are starting the sale of forms on the 31st of January till 5th of March. There will be a mock exam on the 23rd of February and on the 8th of March there will be UTME,” the JAMB Registrar said.
Oloyede mentioned that JAMB would be introducing a mock for trial-testing examination only this year.
He explained that the mock-trial-testing examination is for individuals who would not qualify for admission into universities, polytechnics or colleges of education because they are below the age of 16 years.
He added that to qualify to write UTME and secure admission into universities, polytechnics or colleges of education, candidates must be 16 years old on or before September 30.
According to the don, candidates who do not desire admission for 2025 but wish to have CBT experience could register for mock only for trial testing.
He noted that the sale of Direct Entry application documents and e-PIN vending would commence on March 10 and April 7.
