The Joint Admission and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has released the cost implication for the 2025 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) and Direct Entry (DE).
The board has also introduced a mock trial for future candidates which will cost N3,500 to register. The registration for DE has been pegged at N5,700.
“Cost implication for the 2025 UTME/DE Registration is as stated below: 1. UTME with Mock-₦8,700, 2. UTME without Mock-₦7, 200, 3. Mock Trial Testing for Future Candidates-₦3, 500, 4. DE-₦5, 700,” JAMB posted on its X account.
The Lagos-based board also announced that the 2025 UTME registration exercise will commence on January 31, and ends on March 8, 2025 at its accredited CBT centres across the country.
Investigator news reports that the DE registration which is restricted to its state and zonal offices only will commence on March 10, and ends on April 7, 2025.
JAMB had earlier said that said it is mandatory for all candidates to provide their National Identification Number (NIN), which will be used to generate a profile.
“Please ensure that the phone number you’ll be using belongs to someone very close to you (father or mother, if you’re below 18 years) to make retrieval easier in case of damage or loss of the SIM card.
“The card is your unique identifier with the Board and must not get lost at any point in time. Peradventure that happens, you should retrieve it as soon as possible because it cannot be replaced thereafter,” the examination board said.
