The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has announced the release of results for the 2025 Mock Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination, held on Thursday, April 10.
This was disclosed in a statement on Sunday by the board’s spokesperson, Fabian Benjamin.
According to him, candidates can check their scores by sending “MOCKRESULT” via SMS to either 55019 or 66019 using the same phone number used during registration.
JAMB explained that the mock exam, which is optional, serves to test new features being introduced into its examination system, while also giving candidates an opportunity to practice under real exam conditions.
“A total of 200,115 candidates initially expressed interest in participating; however, two candidates later withdrew, resulting in 200,113 registered candidates,” the statement said.
The board noted that out of the total number of registered candidates, 73,844 were absent on the exam day, and 88 failed biometric verification.
“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,” it added.
JAMB also acknowledged that some candidates faced delays during the mock exam and apologized for the inconvenience caused.
These challenges, it said, were tied to new features being tested for the main UTME.
The board urged candidates to remain supportive as it works to improve the UTME process.
“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.
