The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB), the Nigerian examination body responsible for conducting entrance examinations for tertiary-level institutions, has released a crucial announcement regarding the 2025 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME). Candidates who opted to participate in the mock examination, a preparatory exercise designed to familiarize them with the UTME’s format and procedures, can now access and print their notification slips. These slips contain vital information regarding the mock examination, including the specific date, time, and designated examination center. This proactive measure aims to ensure candidates are well-informed and adequately prepared for the mock exam, minimizing potential logistical challenges on the day of the test.
Dr. Fabian Benjamin, the Public Communication Adviser for JAMB, emphasized the importance of this notification slip, highlighting that it serves as a guide for candidates. The slip not only specifies the examination details but also provides other essential instructions relevant to the mock UTME. This comprehensive approach ensures that candidates are fully aware of the examination protocols and can approach the mock test with confidence. JAMB has streamlined the process of accessing these slips through its official website, www.jamb.gov.ng, enabling candidates to conveniently retrieve the necessary information.
To obtain their notification slips, candidates are required to visit the JAMB website and follow a straightforward procedure. Upon accessing the website, candidates should locate and click on the designated link for "2025 Mock Slip Printing." Subsequently, they will be prompted to enter their unique registration number, a crucial identifier linked to their UTME application. After entering the registration number, candidates can proceed by selecting the "Print Examination Slip" option, initiating the printing process of their personalized notification slip containing all the essential details.
The scheduled dates for both the mock and main UTME examinations have been officially confirmed by JAMB. The mock examination, serving as a valuable practice run for the actual UTME, is set to take place on Thursday, April 10, 2025. This allows candidates to experience the examination environment and familiarize themselves with the question format. Following the mock exam, the main UTME, which determines candidates’ eligibility for admission into tertiary institutions, is scheduled to commence on Friday, April 25, 2025. This structured timeline provides candidates with ample opportunity to prepare and refine their examination strategies.
JAMB strongly advises all candidates participating in the mock UTME to print their notification slips well in advance of the examination date. This precautionary measure aims to mitigate potential issues that may arise due to last-minute printing difficulties or unforeseen technical glitches. Furthermore, candidates are encouraged to visit their assigned examination centers prior to the mock exam date. This allows them to familiarize themselves with the location, transportation routes, and the overall environment, reducing anxiety and ensuring a smooth experience on the day of the test.
In closing, JAMB extends its best wishes to all candidates as they embark on their academic journey. The board encourages candidates to dedicate themselves to their preparations, making the most of the available resources and opportunities. The mock examination serves as a valuable stepping stone towards the main UTME, providing candidates with a realistic simulation of the actual examination experience. By adhering to JAMB’s guidelines, including printing their notification slips and familiarizing themselves with their examination centers, candidates can approach the UTME with greater confidence and increase their chances of success. The board remains committed to providing a fair and transparent examination process, facilitating access to higher education for qualified candidates across Nigeria.
