According to an official statement released on Monday by JAMB Registrar, Prof. Ishaq Oloyede, the sale of application forms will begin on January 31, 2025, and end on March 5, 2025.
For those seeking direct entry, the sale of application forms and e-PIN vending will start on March 10, 2025, and close on April 7, 2025. The Mock-UTME is scheduled for April 5, 2025, while the main UTME will take place between April 25, 2025, and May 5, 2025.
Candidates who wish to register for the UTME with the mock exam will need to pay ₦8,200, while those opting for the UTME only will pay ₦7,200. The breakdown of the UTME/DE JAMB application fees includes ₦3,500 for the application fee, ₦1,000 for the reading text, ₦700 for the CBT Centre registration service, ₦1,500 for the CBT Centre UTME service charge, ₦1,500 for the CBT mock service charge, ₦500 for bank charges, and ₦1,500 for the CBT mock-UTME centre charge.
Additionally, Prof. Oloyede introduced a special mock UTME for candidates under the age of 16. This mock exam is not for admission purposes but serves to give younger candidates a chance to assess their readiness before the main examination.
To be eligible for admission to any tertiary institution in the country, candidates must be at least 16 years old by September 30, 2025. However, Oloyede explained that exceptional candidates under the age of 15 could still be considered for admission if they score at least 280 in the UTME and show outstanding performance in their Senior Secondary Certificate and post-UTME examinations.
