The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has announced the release of the 2025 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) results.

JAMB Registrar, Prof. Ishaq Oloyede, disclosed this on Friday during a press briefing in Abuja, saying over 1.9 million candidates sat for the examination across the country.

He revealed that it is withholding the results of 39,834 candidates due to issues related to examination malpractices.

According to the JAMB boss, 80 individuals are currently being interrogated over various forms of examination fraud, with Anambra State recording the highest number of suspects, 14 in total.

Oloyede also stated that 467 underage candidates who took the exam scored above the minimum cut-off mark, while 50 candidates had so far been linked to cheating.
