2025 JAMB Overhaul: New Ranking System, Deadlines & Top Scorers Revealed
The 2025 JAMB policy meeting has introduced a major shift: your national rank now matters more than your raw score. Every UTME result slip will display both your score and your position among all candidates. Top performers are already making waves. Meet the highest scorers of 2025 and see why courses like Mechanical Engineering at UNILAG are fiercely competitive. Also, check which universities received the most first-choice applications. New cut-off marks and firm admission deadlines are in place: public universities must finish by October 2025, while private institutions have until December. Admission offers now expire fast—schools have two weeks to respond, and you have four weeks to accept or reject. Additional rules include a 90% merit quota, a minimum admission age of 16, and intense competition for medical courses. Prepare backup plans and stay alert to secure your spot.
