JAMB Mock 2025/2026: Everything You Need to Know

The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has announced that it will be conducting a Mock Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) in preparation for the 2025 UTME and Direct Entry (DE) exams. In this blog post, we will provide information on the mock exam, including how to register, fees, and important dates to remember.

Why Take the Mock UTME?

The Mock UTME is an opportunity for candidates to familiarize themselves with the Computer-Based Test (CBT) format of the UTME and DE exams. It also serves as a test run for candidates to identify and address any challenges they may encounter during the exams.

Registration and Fees

To register for the Mock UTME, candidates must first obtain their National Identification Number (NIN) and create a profile by sending their NIN, followed by a space, and then their eleven-digit NIN number to 55019 or 66019.

There is a fee of N1000 for the Mock UTME, which must be paid at the point of registration to ensure commitment. The fee is non-refundable and will not be carried forward to the next examination.

Candidates have the option of paying through Banks, Mobile Money Operators, and online payment on the JAMB portal through Remita/Interswitch, among others.

Important Dates

The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has scheduled the optional mock Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) for Friday, March 7th, 2025.

Warning Against Extortion

The JAMB Registrar has warned financial institutions participating in selling application documents against extortion of candidates. Vendors are also advised to be upright in their dealings with aspiring UTME/DE candidates to avoid running foul of JAMB’s rules of engagement. Financial institutions will be held accountable for the actions of their sub-agents and must ensure that only credible staff are employed to manage their operations.
