The Board’s review comprises creating adequate examination items for the CBT exercise, accrediting examination centers, registering candidates, and managing exam results.
The 2024 review’s findings have been integrated into the rigorous planning for the 2025 UTME, with robust procedures in place to prevent recurrence of the minor difficulties seen in 2024.

“The Board expects that candidates who take the 2025 UTME will have an unprecedented test experience. Prospective candidates can construct their profiles by texting NIN (space) followed by their eleven-digit NIN number to 55019 as they wait for official registration to begin.
“This will ensure they can complete their registration without delays when the time arrives,” the committee said.
JAMB warns that using henna on fingers can impede biometric verification.
Using severe chemicals to erase henna designs might harm finger whorls, making biometric verification difficult or impossible.
Candidates should preserve their ten fingers during registration and testing, as biometric verification is required for admittance. Without it, candidates will be unable to view the exam questions.
“This message serves as a reminder for anyone considering the application of henna to refrain from doing so to ensure a seamless registration experience,” it says.
