The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB), on Friday, provided details of the 2025 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) results it released earlier in the week.
JAMB Registrar, Prof. Ishaq Oloyede, at a press conference in Abuja, noted that as earlier approved by the Minister of Education, Dr. Tunji Alausa, opportunity was provided for underage candidates (16 years and below) to showcase their academic abilities.
He also recalled that at the last Policy Meeting of the admission policy of the Board, stakeholders resolved to implement the prescribed 16-year minimum age for entry into tertiary institutions, and to raise it to 18 years from 2025, but the Minister on resumption of office upheld the 16-year minimum entry age but halted the implementation of the proposal to raise it to 18 years from 2025.
