The t issions and Matriculation Board on Friday announced the release of the 2025 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination results, with results of 39,834 candidates being withheld.

The JAMB Registrar, Prof. Ishaq Oloyede, disclosed this on Friday during the official release of the 2025 UTME results at JAMB headquarters, Bwari.

Oloyede revealed that the seizure of results was due to suspected examination malpractices, and about 80 individuals are being probed for exam-related offences, with Anambra State having the highest number of suspects.

He said JAMB has 39,834 unreleased UTME results, with 1,426 under scrutiny and processing. Out of these, 96 candidates’ results were withheld due to exam malpractices, a decrease from 123 in the previous year.

Oloyede said 2,157 candidates experienced fingerprint rejections due to suspected registration infractions, and the figure is far above margin, and currently under investigation.

He added that a total of 1,957,000 candidates were verified for the exam, with 71,705 candidates absent.

Oloyede said,”The new trends observed this year were in the Registration and Examination processes, and they were mainly in the following categories; Identity Fraud, and Biometric Fraud of Combined Thumbprint of Candidate.

“Other infractions were impersonator at the point of registration with the active involvement of few CBT Centres, double registration, and attempted substitution of self by candidates.”

He stated that 244 candidates were caught in “WhatsApp runs” and had their results withheld as a deterrent.

The registrar also cited that some CBT centers colluded with syndicates to candidates with multiple fingerprints, affecting 3,656 candidates whose results were withheld due to “extraneous fingerprints” and every implicated centers will face sanctions

He identified the centres as Tigh Technologies Limited, Sascon International School, Maitama, Abuja, and Wudil Computer Information Technology. Wudil, Kano State and Penta M &Amp; Centre 2, Tambuwal LGA, Sokoto, Sokoto State.

Oloyede added that 80 suspects were being interrogated by the police for their involvement in the examination malpractices, and most of them would be prosecuted.

The registrar reported 41,027 underage candidates ed, with 467 meeting high-performance criteria and one disqualified for malpractice

He confirmed the board ed 501 candidates with disabilities through JAMB Equal Opportunity Group, but unfortunately, one of these candidates was involved in impersonation.

Oloyede also said Four CBT centers were delisted and blacklisted due to technical deficiencies and substandard performance.

He listed the centres as: Adventure Associate, Behind Sheshe Supermarket, Kano, Saadatu Rimi College of Education, Zaria.

Others are Soronara Ventures Nigeria Limited, Foundation Road, Umudagu Mbieri, Mbaitoli, Imo State, and HSS Amazing, Holy Saviour School 30/32, Old Ota Road, Adeleye, Aparadija, Isunba, Lafenwa, Itele, Ogun State.

He therefore said that a list of those blacklisted for fraudulent practices would soon be made public with details of their nefarious activities.

Despite the controversy surrounding the 2025 JAMB results, Oloyede concluded that it was the one of the most successful in recent times

The JAMB boss reaffirmed the board’s zero-tolerance policy on exam malpractice and promised to continue innovating to maintain exam credibility.

He also explained how to check UTME results: candidates should text ‘UTMERESULT’ to 55019 or 66019 using the same phone number used for registration, with result printing available later.

Na dem (South East) be NO.1 for examination malpractice in this Nigeria 🙌🏾

Dem carry "highest score" back-to-back until hundreds of miracle centres were discovered in the SE and brought down.

What do we expect when we have students in secondary school who can't write or read properly? Same students are promoted automatically so they learn not to bother. No competitive spirit, no drive to do better. They'll rather be active doing various things other than school matters on Tiktok and other SM platforms.

Parents make it worse by arranging expo and exam for their children. Money that should have gone into tutorials/lesson to help them improve on their understanding and subsequently score better. Some centre operators teachers/invigilators are happy to collude for a price. May the Lord guide our youth more.

The various levels of government and education agencies also need to do better in of infrastructure and adequate facilities for learning.

Aseju ni Jamb

I see yoruba people crying up there about Igbos.
I don't know why people who enjoy free education will be crying against people who sit at home on Mondays?

Anyway, it's their cry

you can offer them skullarship since that's the only thing you are good at

People must take up Jamb seriously. They have a computer glitch that affected some students. I guess most good students with poor result were grade over 200 instead of 400.I know of someone who was given 168 despite scoring 339 in previous 2022,7A1 in Waec and NECO, 1480 in SAT... 35/36 in ACT.. Something went wrong. We should not keep quite. Dear JAMB Official,

I am writing to respectfully request a formal review of my UTME results for the year 2025( Registration number: 20250235433IA), as I believe the score I received does not reflect my academic ability or consistent performance across multiple standardized tests.

I have consistently demonstrated high academic achievement:

WASSCE 2022: 7 A1s including Mathematics, Further Math, Biology, Chemistry, and Computer Studies.

NECO 2022: 7A1s too

SAT: 1480/1600 (Math – 770, EBRW – 710), placing me in the top percentiles globally.

ACT: 35/36

Previous UTME 2022: 339/400 202211060357JA
Reg Number: 202211060357JA. Your 2022 UTME Result: ENG: 71, MAT: 95, PHY: 87, CHE: 86, Aggregate: 339*
( Didn't use due to a severe long term injury; got ission into covenant university)

IYMC (International Youth Math Challenge): Silver Medalist


Given these records, I respectfully request a review of my UTME script(s) and score. I am confident that this will help ensure fairness and transparency in the evaluation process.

Thank you for your consideration.
