The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has released the results of the 2025 Mock Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) held on Thursday, April 10.
In a statement issued on Sunday, April 13, JAMB’s spokesperson Fabian Benjamin said candidates can access their results by texting “MOCKRESULT” to either 55019 or 66019 using the phone number they registered with.
The board explained that the mock exam is not compulsory, but serves as a testing ground for its annual innovations while allowing candidates to familiarise themselves with the computer-based test format ahead of the main UTME.
“A total of 200,115 candidates initially expressed interest in participating; however, two candidates later withdrew, resulting in 200,113 registered candidates,” the statement read.
“Of those registered, 73,844 candidates were absent on the day of the examination, and 88 candidates failed the biometric verification screening.

“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.”
JAMB acknowledged that some candidates experienced delays during the mock examination, which it attributed to the introduction of new features ahead of the main exam. It expressed regret over the inconvenience caused.
The board encouraged candidates to remain supportive, saying the mock exercise plays a vital role in strengthening the exam 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.
