According to the Joint Admission and Matriculation Board’s (JAMB) statistical analysis of the 2025 UTME results, which were made public on Monday, only 420,415 applicants received scores higher than 200 in the 2025 exam.
According to the data, 75% of applicants received exam scores below 200, while only less than 1% received scores above 300.
JAMB revealed this in a statement which read “40,247 underage candidates were permitted to demonstrate their exceptional abilities. However, only 467 of these candidates (1.16%) achieved scores that meet the threshold for exceptional ability as defined for the UTME, with their performance in the subsequent three stages still pending.
“Of the total number registered, 97 candidates were involved in examination infractions, while 2,157 others are currently undergoing investigations for suspected malpractices.
“Additionally, 71,701 candidates were absent. Those facing biometric challenges are also under investigation, and those who are cleared will be rescheduled for examination at designated centres.
“Furthermore, few of the results, including those of blind candidates and others in the JEOG candidates group, are still being processed.
“A press conference to announce the individual results of candidates and to facilitate result checking will be held later this week.
