UTME is a computer-standardized exam for prospective undergraduates in Nigeria, and the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) oversees this exam. Nigeria’s education system requires high school students to sit for UTME so that JAMB can determine who qualifies to join which tertiary-level institution. Read on to find out how to check the JAMB exam center.
How do I check the JAMB exam center, date, and time in 2025?
You will know your exam center, date, time, JAMB subject combination, and registration number once you print out your slip.
In 2025, JAMB should send you the slip through email a few days before the exam, but if you cannot find the e-slip email, please visit the JAMB center near you and request a printed slip or print it from the JAMB portal.
What is the JAMB cut-off mark?
The JAMB cut-off mark for university admission is 140, 100 for polytechnics, and 80 for colleges, while the post-UTME cut-off mark varies with each university. Some schools start with an average mark of 50%, while others have higher cutoff marks.
