Results of the 2025 Mock Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination, which was held on Thursday, April 10, have been released by the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board.
Candidates may check their results by texting “MOCKRESULT” by SMS to either 55019 or 66019 using the phone number they enrolled with for the exam, according to a statement released by JAMB on Sunday by its spokesperson, Fabian Benjamin.
The board claims that the optional mock UTME is intended to evaluate its annual innovations and give applicants a taste of the computer-based testing environment prior to the actual exam.
The statement read, “A total of 200,115 candidates initially expressed interest in participating; however, two candidates later withdrew, resulting in 200,113 registered candidates.
“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.”
Additionally, JAMB apologised for any difficulty caused by the delays that some applicants experienced throughout the mock exam.

It clarified that the new elements included to enhance the next main UTME were the cause of the interruptions.
The mock exam is still a crucial component of the board’s plan to improve the UTME procedure and better prepare applicants, the board said, urging candidates to keep supporting its initiatives.
“The mock examination serves as a trial version of the UTME, allowing the Board to test 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.
