The Joint Admission and Matriculation Board has announced the release of the 2025 Mock Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination it carried out on Thursday, April 10, 2025.
Fabian Benjamin, the board’s official spokesperson made this disclosure on behalf of the board in a statement released on Sunday. He explained that candidates can check their results by sending “MOCKRESULT” via SMS to either 55019 or 66019 using the phone number they registered with for the examination.
The statement read, “A total of 200,115 candidates initially expressed interest in participating; however, two candidates later withdrew, resulting in 200,113 registered candidates.
“Of those registered, 73,844 candidates were absent on the day of the examination, and 88 candidates failed the biometric verification screening.
“Consequently, 126,181 candidates successfully sat for the examination, and results for 115,735 of these candidates are now available for viewing. Additionally, 10,446 results are still being processed and will be released soon.”
The Board made particular reference to the glitches and delays experienced during the exercise and took full responsibility for the inconveniences noting that the delay was as a result of the introduction of new features to make the upcoming main UTME seamless.
The board explained the mock exam is a key part of its approach to improve the UTME process and better prepare candidates.
“The mock examination serves as a trial version of the UTME, allowing the Board to test new innovations while helping candidates familiarise themselves with the CBT environment.
“Over the years, this initiative has successfully achieved its objectives, addressing noted lapses and equipping candidates with valuable experience for the main examination,” the statement added.
