    The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has published a detailed statistical report on the 2025 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) results.

    The report provides an in-depth overview of how Nigerian candidates performed in the nationwide exam.

    However, the Board noted that 4,756 candidates achieved scores above 320, while 7,658 scored between 300 and 319.
