JAMB introduces mock UTME for candidates below 16
The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has introduced a mock Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) designed for candidates below the age of 16.
Speaking at a meeting with media executives in Lagos on Sunday, JAMB Registrar, Prof. Ishaq Oloyede, clarified that the mock UTME is not intended for tertiary institution admission but rather for underage students seeking to test their abilities.
“This year’s UTME will hold on March 8, 2025. The sale of forms will begin on January 31 and end on March 5. A mock exam is scheduled for February 23,” Oloyede announced.
He further explained that the mock exam would provide trial testing for candidates ineligible for admission into universities, polytechnics, or colleges of education due to the age limit of 16 years. To qualify for admission, candidates must turn 16 on or before September 30.
Oloyede added that candidates not seeking admission in 2025 but desiring a computer-based testing experience could also register for the trial mock exams.
