JAMB Releases 2025 Mock UTME Results: How to Check and What It Means

The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has officially announced the release of the 2025 Mock Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) results. The mock examination, conducted on Thursday, April 10, 2025, saw over 211,000 candidates participate across 793 Computer-Based Test (CBT) centers nationwide. This practice test, designed to familiarize candidates with the examination process, does not contribute to the main UTME scores or influence the admission process into tertiary institutions.

Candidates who participated in the mock exam can now access their results through two convenient methods:

1. Via SMS:
   • Candidates should send the word “MOCKRESULT” to either 55019 or 66019 using the same phone number they registered for the examination.
   • Ensure the message is sent from the registered SIM card to avoid issues.
   • A response containing the candidate’s mock result will be delivered promptly.
2. Via JAMB Online Portal:
   • Visit the official JAMB result-checking portal at https://slipsprinting.jamb.gov.ng/CheckUTMEMockResults.

JAMB has advised candidates to check their results as soon as possible and report any issues encountered during the process to the Board’s official support channels. Candidates are also reminded to keep their registration details secure to prevent unauthorized access.

Purpose of the Mock UTME

The JAMB Mock UTME is an optional examination organized annually to prepare candidates for the main UTME. Its primary objectives include:

• Familiarization with CBT Environment: The mock exam allows candidates to experience the computer-based testing format, helping them navigate the interface and understand the structure of the questions.
• Technical Preparedness: It serves as a test run for JAMB’s systems, ensuring that CBT centers are fully equipped and operational before the main examination.
• Candidate Confidence: By simulating the real exam conditions, the mock UTME helps reduce anxiety and boosts candidates’ readiness for the actual test.

JAMB emphasized that the mock exam is purely for practice, and its results have no bearing on the main UTME scores or the admission process into universities, polytechnics, or other tertiary institutions.

Participation and Logistics

This year’s mock examination recorded a significant turnout, with over 211,000 candidates participating. The exercise was conducted seamlessly across 793 accredited CBT centers, reflecting JAMB’s commitment to ensuring a smooth and hitch-free process. The Board commended the cooperation of candidates, center administrators, and invigilators for adhering to the guidelines, which contributed to the success of the exercise.

JAMB also noted that the mock exam provided valuable feedback on the readiness of its infrastructure and the preparedness of candidates. Any technical or logistical challenges identified during the mock will be addressed to ensure a flawless main UTME, scheduled to commence later in April 2025.

Important Notes for Candidates

• Result Validity: The mock UTME result is not a substitute for the main UTME result and cannot be used for admission purposes.
• Preparation for Main UTME: Candidates are encouraged to use their mock experience to identify areas for improvement in their preparation for the main examination.
• Beware of Fraudsters: JAMB has warned candidates to avoid sharing their registration details or result slips with unauthorized individuals to prevent scams. All official communications should be verified through JAMB’s website (www.jamb.gov.ng) or accredited channels.

Looking Ahead: The 2025 UTME

With the mock examination successfully concluded, attention now shifts to the main 2025 UTME, which is expected to attract millions of candidates vying for admission into Nigeria’s tertiary institutions. JAMB has assured stakeholders that preparations are in top gear to deliver a credible, transparent, and efficient examination process. The Board has also urged candidates to intensify their studies and avoid examination malpractice, which could jeopardize their chances of securing admission.

For further inquiries or assistance, candidates can contact JAMB through its official website, support lines, or accredited CBT centers. The Board remains committed to ensuring equal opportunities for all candidates and maintaining the integrity of the examination process.

Conclusion

The release of the 2025 Mock UTME results marks a significant milestone in JAMB’s preparations for the main examination. Candidates are encouraged to check their results promptly, reflect on their performance, and fine-tune their strategies for the upcoming UTME. As Nigeria’s foremost admission body, JAMB continues to uphold its mandate of providing a fair and accessible platform for tertiary education aspirants across the country.
