 JAMB Registers 420,674 Candidates for 2025/2026 Exams


The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has registered a total of 420,674 candidates for the 2025/2026 examination as of Monday afternoon.


JAMB Registrar, Professor Is-haq Oloyede, disclosed this in Ilorin during an inspection of Computer-Based Test (CBT) centers. He also revealed that 32,435 candidates had registered that same day, while 124,632 candidates had enrolled for the mock exams.


JAMB aims to register up to two million candidates for the exams. However, Oloyede raised concerns about the increasing number of underage candidates, stating that 4,997 applicants under the age of 16 had registered so far. He criticized parents for pushing their children into early education to boost their own status.


“Previously, the number of underage candidates was around 300. Now, just five days into the registration process, we already have nearly 5,000. By the end of today, the figure will surpass that,” Oloyede stated.


He explained that underage candidates are required to sign an indemnity form, ensuring they can meet academic expectations or face sanctions if they fail to perform as claimed.


Additionally, JAMB has permanently blacklisted six individuals involved in exam malpractice, including a senior university official currently facing prosecution. The registrar also disclosed that 10 institutions were caught illegally registering candidates at night.


Following his monitoring visits to CBT centers, Oloyede expressed satisfaction with the ongoing registration process, commending JAMB staff, security agencies, and stakeholders for maintaining high standards.
