“For those opting to include the mock examination as part of their UTME registration, a fee of ₦8,200 will apply. Candidates who wish to sit only for the UTME without the mock will pay ₦7,200, while those registering for Direct Entry (DE) will pay ₦5,700.”

JAMB has also introduced a separate trial-testing mock for candidates below the age of 16 who wish to experience the CBT process without participating in the main UTME.
The registrar of JAMB said that the increase in the number of examination centres is to accommodate the growing number of candidates. The board has approved 870 computer-based test centres for the 2025 UTME, a notable increase from the 747 centres used in 2024.

In addition, JAMB emphasised its dedication to providing candidates with an improved registration and examination process. “The board believes that candidates participating in the 2025 UTME will experience an examination like never before,” Oloyede said, highlighting steps taken to address issues from previous years.

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.
