The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board has released the 2025 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination results.
In this year’s UTME, over 1.5 million out of the 1,955,069 candidates who sat for the 2025 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination scored below 200 in the just-concluded exam.
This was revealed in the statistical analysis of the 2025 UTME results released by the Joint Admission and Matriculation Board (JAMB) on Monday.
The statistics indicated that only 420,415 candidates scored above 200 in the 2025 edition of the UTME.
The data showed that 75 per cent of the candidates scored below 200 in the exam, with less than 1% scoring above 300.
In the statement accompanying the data, JAMB said, “40,247 underage candidates were permitted to demonstrate their exceptional abilities. However, only 467 of these candidates (1.16%) achieved scores that meet the threshold for exceptional ability as defined for the UTME, with their performance in the subsequent three stages still pending.
The examination began on Thursday, April 24.
