Expoboom – Notice JAMB 2025 UTME Exam Schedule Explained
The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has set the dates for the 2025 UTME exam. The exam will run from April 25, 2025, to May 5, 2025.
JAMB will conduct four exam sessions each day. These sessions are called “batches.” When you get your JAMB examination slip, it will show your specific exam date and which batch you are in.
Here’s what you need to know about the exam schedule:
The exam starts on April 25, 2025
The exam ends on May 5, 2025
There will be four batches (sessions) each day
Your exam slip will tell you exactly when to go for your exam
You must attend only on your assigned date and time
Make sure you check your JAMB slip carefully to know which day and time you should go to the exam center. Going on the wrong day or time means you might miss your exam.
It’s important to arrive at your exam center early on your assigned day. This gives you enough time to find the center and complete all check-in procedures before your batch starts.
