The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has announced an adjustment in the schedule for the 2025 Mock Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME).
Fabian Benjamin, the exam body’s spokesperson, explained that this change is intended to allow for the completion of essential preparations, which include various innovations and improvements aimed at making this examination one of the most successful in its history.

The adjustment accommodates the increased number of examination centres for the 2025 session.
The Mock UTME, initially planned for Saturday, April 5, 2025, will now occur on Thursday, April 10, 2025, while the main UTME is set to commence on April 25, 2025.
“In line with global best practices and recent research on examination methodologies in our region, the Board recognises the need for innovative measures to optimise the mock exercise’s intended purpose,” the statement further explained.
According to Benjamin, “Candidates are advised to stay tuned for the announcement regarding the printing of their Mock Notification Slip, which will provide details about the location of their examination centre.”
