The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has released the detailed performance report of the 2025 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME), revealing that more than 1.5 million candidates scored below the 200 minimum admissible marks for university admissions in Nigeria.

This has generated some reactions as the performance is seen as poor considering that most universities and courses require a score of 200 and above for students to gain admission despite the admissible cutoff mark pegged at 140. Daily Trust
