As part of the analysis, JAMB noted that 40,247 underage candidates were granted the opportunity to showcase their exceptional abilities.
However, only 467 of these candidates (1.16%) achieved scores that met the board’s defined threshold for exceptional performance. These candidates will proceed to the next three stages of evaluation, which are still pending.
According to JAMB’s Registrar, a total of 2,030,900 candidates registered for the 2025 UTME, out of which 1,955,069 actually sat for the examination.
Among the registered candidates, 97 were confirmed to have committed examination infractions, while another 2,157 are currently under investigation for suspected malpractice.
In addition, 71,701 candidates were absent from the examination. Candidates who faced biometric verification challenges are also under review, and those who are cleared will be rescheduled for examination at designated centers.
It was further disclosed that some results, including those of blind candidates and others under the JEOG category, are still being processed.
The board announced that a press conference will be held later this week to officially release individual results and provide details on how candidates can check their scores.
