UTME 2025: JAMB registers 200,000 candidates in one week

In its weekly bulletin published on Monday, the board disclosed that it has also paid N141 million to Computer-Based Test (CBT) centres for the registration conducted within the period.

The Joint Admissions and Matriculations Board (JAMB) has announced that 201,867 candidates successfully registered for the 2025 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examinations (UTME) within the first week of registration.

The JAMB-administered UTME registration began on Monday, 3 February and continues until Saturday, 8 March. The UTME is a computer-based entrance examination for candidates seeking admission into Nigerian tertiary institutions.

In its weekly bulletin published on Monday, the board disclosed that it has also paid N141 million to Computer-Based Test (CBT) centres for the registration conducted within the period.

“In line with its commitment to weekly payments of UTME registration charges collected as part of the total fee for UTME to CBT centres, the board has made the first-week payment in fulfilment of its promise regarding the disbursement of these charges,” JAMB said in the bulletin.

Annually, JAMB registers an average of 1.5 million candidates seeking admission into Nigerian universities, polytechnics and colleges of education. Last year, the board had over 1.9 million candidates for the UTME, with 76 per cent of the candidates scoring below 200 of the 400 obtainable scores.

Addressing challenges

In the first week of registration, JAMB suspended two CBT centres after accusing them of breaching registration procedures.

The suspended CBT centres are the Federal College of Education (Technical) Potiskum, Yobe State and a CBT Centre in Otukpo, Benue State.

May\June WASSCE: How schools, candidates can get withheld results released faster – WAEC

The West African Examinations Council (WAEC) has explained what schools or candidates whose May\June West African Senior School Certificate Examination(WASSCE) results are being withheld can do to get them released faster than usual.

The council also explained how to go about the process with the affected candidates or their schools using the link provided as https://waecinternational.org/complaints.

Recall that a total of 215,267 (representing 11.92%) out of the total 1,805,216 candidates, who sat the school-based exam are being withheld in connection with various reported cases of exam malpractice while their cases are under investigations to determine if those results will be released or not.

Also, a total of 1,301,941 (representing 72.12%) of the total candidates, who sat the exam obtained credits and above in at least five mandatory subjects, including English Language and Mathematics, which is a marginal decrease of 7.69% from last year performance in the same exam which was 79.81%

The seizure of results, however, has put many parents and affected candidates and their schools in apprehension as the seized results are what they relying on to gain admissions into universities or other tertiary schools during this ongoing admission process.

Some of them who spoke to Nigerian Tribune and denied their involvement in malpractice during the exam urged WAEC to fast-track its investigations and release their results so as not to miss out in this year’s admission.

However, WAEC told this medium that withholding of results like those in focus is not a strange thing as the action was based on alleged malpractice and there is strict procedure and time frame to follow to resolve the matter.

WAEC’s spokesperson, Mrs Moyosola Adesina, who gave the explanation in an interview with Nigerian Tribune, said WAEC as an organisation doesn’t delay investigations into reported cases of malpractice in all its exams.

According to her, WAEC knows the importance of candidates results and the essence of time concerning their admission into universities or any other school.

But she pointed out that the council will have to investigate all the cases one after the other through committee system.

She said, “The committee wil review all the cases thoroughly and release results of those whose cases can be easily resolved and other much later and all within a time frame .

“So, some results will be released before the Nigeria Examination Committee (NEC) of WAEC will meet in October or much earlier.

“So, the waiting period for candidates who are affected won’t be long.

“Of course, we have over 200 thousand cases and we have to look at them critically so that the council won’t punish those who should not be punished.

“And that is why the council also came up with a portal for candidates or schools who want to prove their innocence to lodge their complaints for speedy attention by WAEC.

“This is also a way of fair hearing from the affected candidates or schools- to give them opportunity to defend themselves.

“So, candidates can go to the portal using the link earlier given and supply their details. By that, they will be able to know the exact offence they committed and warranted the seizure of their results.

“Candidates or schools at that point can request for their papers in question and prove their innocence with evidence of case or cases reported against them.

“Sometimes, exam malpractice may involve one or multiple candidates or the entire school for a particular subject or multiple subjects.

“Also, people should know that exam malpractice that escaped undetected in the exam halls will be detected during marking of scripts when you discover that candidates must have, for example, copied themselves to write their answers word for word.

“But certainly, there must be a case against somebody before results can be seized.

“So, if the affected candidates or schools are able to prove their innocence convicingly, their results will certainly be released before NEC meeting.

“It is NEC that ratifies the outcome of all the investigations and recommendations as regard whether seized results should be released or not.”

She noted that some candidates with withheld results in the past including last year had their results released much earlier than the general release.

How To Calculate Unilag Aggregate Score

How to Calculate UNILAG Aggregate Score for 2024. The average score is over 100 and it’s gotten from your jamb, post utme, and O’level result. See details below.

Wondering how to calculate the University of Lagos (UNILAG) Aggregate score? Then we are pleased to show you how to calculate it. This is for the 2024 academic session. First, note that your O’level result has 20marks. While your POST UTME and JAMB have 30 and 50 marks respectively.

The O’level grades have the following points: 

A1 = 4.0 

B2 = 3.6 

B3 = 3.2 

C4 = 2.8 

C5 = 2.4 

C6 = 2.0

Your JAMB Score should be divided by 8. 

Now let’s calculate the UNILAG Aggregate score 

*How to Calculate UNILAG Aggregate Score* 

Calculate the grades of your FIVE compulsory O’level subjects. Let’s assume Yemi has A1 in the five relevant subjects, then our O’level point is 20. 

Your UNILAG post utme score is not touched. Now let’s also assume Yemi has 20/30 in the post utme, then our post utme points will be 20. 

Finally, you should divide your JAMB Score by 8. Let’s say Yemi's JAMB score is 280? Then our JAMB point will be 35 (ie, 280 divide 8). 

Add the three points together and this will give you your UNILAG Aggregate score. From our illustration, Yemi's aggregate score will be 35+20+20= 75%.
