Read Time:2 Minute, 55 Second
The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board, JAMB, has deployed a decoy website to tackle malpractices in the 2025 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination, UTME.
Prof. Ishaq Oloyede, the JAMB Registrar, made this announcement on Thursday while observing the UTME Mock at a few Abuja computer-based test (CBT) centers.
At least 211,000 applicants took the test, which was administered at various authorized CBT locations across the nation.
According to Oloyede, the mock exam results would be made public on Friday.
“They will have the results tomorrow. The results will be ready. Those who finished, we are working now on their results, but we want to compare with the second batch, the third batch, and so on. And see that everything is working well. But later by tomorrow, they will have the results,” he said.
Explaining the purpose of the UTME Mock, Oloyede said the exercise was aimed at testing the board’s readiness for the main examination and experimenting with new strategies to improve the process.
“The word is mock, and we want to say so far so good. What we want to do is to try some things. As students are getting wiser, we are also getting better…..
“Because we are doing certain things to ensure that those things are done. So we are trying to make sure that when we go for the exam, we will have taken experience and taken some lessons from our experience at the Mock level. So, so far, so good,” he said.
The Registrar, who said the only way to pass UTME is by studying hard, expressed concerns that some candidates are patronizing rogue websites in order to cheat in the exam, adding that JAMB has also opened a decoy website targeting such individuals.
