Over 78.5 percent of candidates who sat for the 2025 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) scored below 200, according to data released by the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB). The examination body disclosed that out of the 1,955,069 registered candidates, 1,883,368 actually sat for the exam, while 71,701 were absent. Of those who participated, a staggering 1,534,654 scored below 200. In contrast, only 432,829 candidates scored 200 and above—an equivalent of 22.13 percent. The performance breakdown showed a significant drop in high scorers: 98,269 candidates scored 250 and above, representing just 5.02 percent. Only 24,828 candidates scored 300 and above, accounting for a mere 1.26 percent. “Of the total number registered, 97 candidates were involved in examination infractions, while 2,157 others are currently undergoing investigations for suspected malpractices,” JAMB said in a statement.
